LiontipsWolverhampton vs Brighton. Prediction and Betting Tips for English Premier League (May 9, 2021).
Command Analysis
After two consecutive victories in the Premier League over Fulham (1:0) and Sheffield United (1:0), Nuno Espirito Santo's charges have relaxed, which was of course a mistake. First, Wolverhampton was absolutely shattered by Burnley at home (0:4). Then, they had to accept a draw in the game against West Bromwich (1:1).
Wolverhampton might have just lost motivation. Before this round, Nuno Santo's men are in 12th place in the Premier League table. The Wolves have 42 points, which keep them safe from relegation, but they don't have more serious objectives.
Recently Wolverhampton performed poorly at home. They only beat Sheffield United, the main outsiders. Besides Burnley, the Wolves lost to Liverpool (0:1) and West Ham (2:3). In terms of home stats, Wolverhampton are now tenth in the Premier League. In 17 home games, they got only six victories, four draws, and seven defeats. The Wolves have one of the weakest lines of attack in the league: they scored only 18 goals at home.
Midfielder Pedro Neto, defenders Willie Boly and Jonny, striker Raul Jimenez will not be playing against Brighton. Rayan Aït-Nouri and Fernando Marcal might also miss the game.
The Seagulls won a very important game in the last round. Brighton hosted Leeds and outplayed the Peacocks in every way, ending the match with a convincing score of 2:0. With this victory, Graham Potter's charges interrupted a four-game winless streak in the league. On that streak, Brighton was defeated by Manchester United (1:2) and Sheffield United (0:1) and had two goalless draws with Everton and Chelsea.
Nevertheless, Brighton have practically secured a place in the Premier League for the next season. Now the Seagulls occupy the 14th position in the standings. They have 37 points in the asset, which puts them 10 points ahead of the group of outsiders.
At the same time, Brighton played poorly in the last away games. The Seagulls have won only against Southampton in six previous away fixtures, and in total they won five out of 17 away matches. Another 5 they drew, and they lost seven.
Two key midfielders Adam Lallana and Solly March, as well as defender Tariq Lamptey, are sidelined with injuries. Florin Andone's appearance on the pitch is questionable.

Tip and bets
In our opinion, bookmakers overestimate Brighton's abilities. The Seagulls play rather poorly in the last rounds. At the same time, Wolverhampton have always been an uncompromising home team, and their quality of the game is in no way worse than Brighton's.
Our prediction is Wolverhampton to win or a draw.
The attack is not the strongest side of these opponents in the current season. It is unlikely that we will see many goals in this game.
Second bet - total under 2.5 goals.
