Match Overview

Brighton & Hove Albion host Wolverhampton Wanderers at the Amex Stadium in a crucial Premier League clash on Sunday, 10 May 2026. With just three rounds remaining in the season, both teams have contrasting objectives. Brighton, under Roberto De Zerbi, are pushing for a European qualification spot, while Wolves aim to secure a mid-table finish. The Seagulls have been in strong form, whereas Wolves have struggled for consistency in recent weeks.

Team News & Expected Lineups

Brighton & Hove Albion (4-2-3-1): Expected lineup includes Jason Steele in goal, with a back four of Tariq Lamptey, Lewis Dunk, Adam Webster, and Pervis Estupiñán. The midfield pivot could feature Pascal Groß and Billy Gilmour, while Kaoru Mitoma, João Pedro, and Simon Adingra support striker Evan Ferguson. Absences include Solly March (long-term injury) and Julio Enciso (doubtful).

Wolverhampton Wanderers (3-4-3): Likely lineup features José Sá in goal, with Max Kilman, Craig Dawson, and Toti Gomes in defense. Wing-backs Nélson Semedo and Rayan Aït-Nouri will provide width, while Mario Lemina and João Gomes anchor midfield. The attacking trio could be Matheus Cunha, Hwang Hee-chan, and Pedro Neto. Absences include Pablo Sarabia (injured) and Jean-Ricner Bellegarde (suspended).

Head-to-Head

Brighton and Wolves have met 12 Premier League encounters, with Brighton winning 5, Wolves 4, and 3 draws. The reverse fixture in December 2025 ended in a 1-1 draw. Brighton have won the last two home meetings against Wolves, including a 3-2 victory in the 2024/25 season.

Key Players to Watch

Brighton: Kaoru Mitoma – The Japanese winger’s dribbling and creativity will be vital. Evan Ferguson – The young striker’s physicality and finishing could trouble Wolves’ defense.

Wolves: Pedro Neto – His pace and directness on the counter-attack pose a constant threat. Matheus Cunha – The Brazilian’s link-up play and movement could unlock Brighton’s backline.

Prediction & Analysis

Brighton’s possession-based approach under De Zerbi will test Wolves’ defensive resilience. Wolves, likely to sit deep and counter, will rely on the speed of Neto and Cunha. Brighton’s home advantage and superior form give them the edge, but Wolves’ compact shape could make this a tight contest. Prediction: Brighton 2-1 Wolves.
