Wolverhampton Wanderers dey bottom of Premier League table as dem don only manage one point from six matches. Meanwhile, Brighton dey mid-table (10th) with eight points. On Sunday, both sides go clash for Molineux as Wolves dey find their first win of the season.
Wolves Wahala
Last weekend against Tottenham, Wolves almost shock everybody. Santiago Bueno score for second half and e be like say dem go carry three points, but Spurs equalize for stoppage time wey spoil everything.
At least na their first league point of the season after five straight losses. Dem still dey bottom, but just four points behind safety, so a win fit change their story before international break.
Problem be say Wolves never beat Brighton for league since December 2021. Dem even lose the same fixture last season 2-0. The only recent joy na FA Cup win February 2024, but for Premier League, Brighton dey always get their number.
Brighton Form
Brighton dey come into this game with high morale after dem knack Chelsea 3-1 last weekend. That one follow another win for EFL Cup against Barnsley.
Fabian Hurzeler team get record of 2 wins, 2 draws, 2 losses so far, enough to keep dem 10th. Dem don already beat Chelsea and Man City this season plus draw against Spurs, so confidence dey their body.
The only small wahala be say their two league defeats come away from home (vs Everton and Bournemouth). Still, Brighton don only lose once for Molineux ever, so dem dey enter this fixture with plenty ginger.
