Wolves XI vs Brighton – Predicted lineup and team news

Wolves XI vs Brighton – Predicted lineup and team news

Wolves travel to the South Coast looking to restore pride ahead of their Championship return.

Relegation was recently confirmed following a difficult string of results for Rob Edwards’ side at Molineux. The Old Gold are winless in their last nineteen away Premier League fixtures during this campaign. They now sit just two points behind 19th-placed Burnley as they fight to avoid finishing bottom. Securing a positive result remains the primary objective for the final three matches of the season.

Wolves have struggled for goals on the road, averaging just 0.41 per game throughout this season. Only Norwich in 2019-20 have recorded a lower away goal average in a single top-flight campaign. Despite these struggles, the visitors have lost only one of their last six visits to Brighton. Edwards is already planning for a major rebuilding job at Compton Park this summer. He hopes a positive result will help the spirit within the building move forward.

Wolves team news

Rob Edwards has confirmed that Daniel Bentley will continue in goal at the American Express Stadium today. First-choice stopper Jose Sa is still recovering from an ankle injury sustained against Liverpool last month. Sam Johnstone is also sidelined, leaving Bentley as the only senior option for the remaining fixtures. However, Ladislav Krejci has returned to training after a neck issue and will be assessed today. Edwards may turn to and if Krejci is not ready to start.
