Wolverhampton vs Brighton Prediction 28.02.2024

• Competition: FA Cup
• Date: 28.02.2024
• Kickoff: 19:45 UK / 20:45 CET
• Venue: Molineux Stadium (Wolverhampton)

Wolverhampton struggled more than anticipated to secure a victory in the previous round against Sheffield, one of the Premier League’s bottom two teams, but they managed to come out on top with a 1-0 win. However, a win is a win, and this victory propelled them to 8th place in the elite competition. Another positive aspect of this match was that it allowed them to maintain their form and build confidence for their crucial upcoming FA Cup 1/8 final match against Brighton. This could be the Wolves’ only opportunity to qualify for the European competition, and they’ve already demonstrated their capabilities by beating WBA in the previous round.

In the last Premier League round, Brighton ended on a draw against Everton, indicating a seemingly weaker performance in the domestic league this season compared to the previous one. Despite this, Brighton has secured a direct spot in the 1/8 finals of the Europa League and remains in the FA Cup, potentially making this one of the club’s most successful seasons to date. Given their strong record at this stadium over the past decade, Brighton has every right to aspire for a position in the 1/4 finals.

Wolves vs Brighton pick: UNDER 2.5 GOALS

Over their last three games, Wolves have only let in one goal, suggesting their defense is improving. This could be key in ending the season on a strong note, a characteristic of Wolves in past seasons, despite facing numerous challenges this season. Brighton can play efficiently and can switch to a more defensive approach when necessary. In this upcoming match, both teams will likely exercise caution as there is no room for error. Therefore, we advise betting on less than 2.5 goals being scored in regular time.
