Brighton hosts Wolverhampton Wanderers in round 17 of the English Premier League. The match will be played on Wednesday, December 15th at Amex Stadium (Brighton)
Brighton is again approaching Christmas with the status of only the middle peasant of the Premier League. The Seagulls started this season very confidently, gaining four victories in the first five rounds. Who then thought that they wouldn’t be able to win again since the end of September? It is curious that Brighton suffered not so many defeats — in autumn, the Seagulls lost only to Manchester City and Aston Villa, which just changed its head coach. The other eight matches invariably ended in draws. And in the last cases, it was Brighton who pulled out one point. And the hero was Neal Maupay. In the match against West Ham, he leveled the score with an overhead kick in the 89th minute. Everything was not so interesting on the pitch of Southampton, but the Frenchman pulled out a draw in the 98th minute! However, the Seagulls had enough time to rest after such nervous matches: Sunday's game was canceled due to the outbreak of the coronavirus in the camp of Tottenham.

Wolverhampton shows either unsuccessful or bright streaks in the current season. The Wolves seem to have slept through the start. However, it must be admitted that they got a new manager, Bruno Lage, and he needed to fix things. After all, the previous season was quite weak. In autumn, the Wanderers remembered how to score, and the defense remained quite reliable. But in November, problems began again. Yes, Wolverhampton was unlucky in the game with Liverpool, as Origi scored the only goal in the very last minute. And playing the entire 2nd half against Manchester City with ten men, the Wolves conceded the only goal from a controversial penalty. And they again score little: only one goal in the last five rounds (this was enough to beat West Ham). Even Norwich and Burnley played goalless draws against a contender for European competitions. Raul Jimenez let his team down in the last round — it was he who managed to pick up two yellow cards just before the teams left for a break.
After three consecutive victories for Brighton, the clubs have tied four times. It was only at the end of last season that Wolverhampton finally won, and it happened for the first time in five years. Bookmakers tend to expect Brighton to win the upcoming game. But both teams have obvious problems with production. We recommend betting on Under 2.5 goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 goals scored
