Predictions are flying as Chris Sutton believes Wolves will struggle against Brighton on Saturday, with the Seagulls expected to secure all three points at the Amex Stadium. Gary O’Neil’s struggling team is currently positioned second from the bottom in the league, having only managed to gather one point in eight games. The former Celtic striker has placed his faith in Brighton to heap more misery on Wolves.
Wolves’ recent loss to Manchester City has contributed to their worst-ever start to a top-flight season, surpassing their low two-point record from back in the 1983/84 season. The team has only managed to secure one victory in their last 18 games, extending back to March of last season.
Sutton, in his BBC article, acknowledged that O’Neil’s team deserved more than just one point so far this season, yet he ultimately went with a 2-1 win for Brighton in the upcoming match. Despite Wolves’ goal-scoring potential, Sutton believes Brighton will ultimately come out on top.
Though Wolves put up a good fight against Man City last weekend, they still succumbed to a 2-1 defeat at Molineux, with a last-minute goal sealing their fate. O’Neil expressed frustration with the decision to allow the late goal, hinting at a potential subconscious bias towards larger clubs influencing the referees.
Looking ahead, Wolves have a string of matches where they can bounce back from their recent disappointments. After their clash against Brighton, they will face Crystal Palace, Southampton, Fulham, and Bournemouth, with the majority of the games scheduled to be played at home.
