Wolverhampton Wanderers are set to play host to Brighton & Hove Albion at the Molineux Stadium on Sunday for their latest English Premier League fixture.
Wolverhampton Wanderers come into this game on the back of a 1-1 draw against Sam Allardyce's West Bromwich Albion last Monday at the Hawthorns. A first-half goal from young Portuguese striker Fabio Silva for Wolverhampton Wanderers was cancelled out by a second-half goal from Senegalese striker Mbaye Diagne for West Bromwich Albion.
Brighton & Hove Albion, on the other hand, beat Marcelo Bielsa's Leeds United last Saturday at the American Express Community Stadium. Goals from German midfielder Pascal Gross and experienced attacker Danny Welbeck sealed the deal for Graham Potter's Brighton & Hove Albion.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Brighton & Hove Albion Prediction
Wolverhampton Wanderers are currently 12th in the English Premier League table, and have struggled to get going this season. A small squad has meant that injuries to key players, especially striker Raul Jimenez, has affected their form drastically.
Brighton & Hove Albion, on the other hand, are 14th in the league table. Graham Potter's men have produced some good football throughout the season, and arguments can be made that they should be in a higher position than where they are right now.
A draw seems to be an ideal result.
Prediction: Wolverhampton Wanderers 1-1 Brighton & Hove Albion
