Brighton & Hove Albion will continue their push for European qualification when they welcome already-relegated Wolverhampton Wanderers to the Amex Stadium for a Premier League clash on Saturday afternoon..
The Seagulls sit ninth in the table with 50 points and could climb as high as sixth by the end of the gameweek, provided other results fall in their favour.
Wolves, meanwhile, have already been condemned to the Championship and have little left to play for, which could hand Brighton an added advantage despite the hosts already entering the contest as favourites.

Under Fabian Hurzeler, Brighton have enjoyed a fantastic campaign so far, but they still have a lot to play for the final three games, as they eye a spot in Europe next season.
Brighton's five-match unbeaten run in the Premier League came to an abrupt end last week after they lost 3-1 against Newcastle United. However, they could not have asked for a better fixture to return to winning ways.
The Seagulls are unbeaten in their last eight league games against Wolves, and have not suffered a defeat since 2021, which further puts them as favourites.
| 🔍 Whispers Insight |
| Four of Brighton's last five matches have produced over 2.5 goals |
In terms of team news, Mats Wieffer (ankle) is expected to join Stefanos Tzimas and Adam Webster (both knee) on the sidelines after aggravating an ankle problem in the defeat at Newcastle, while Diego Gomez (knee), James Milner and Solly March (both muscle) are all doubtful.
Wolves have endured a miserable campaign and are already preparing for life in the Championship, where financial realities could force the club to part ways with some of their key players in the summer transfer window.
The Molineux outfit are winless in their last 19 Premier League away matches and possess the second-worst defensive record in the division, having conceded 63 goals.
| 🔍 Whispers Insight |
| Wolves have lost their last six games, and failed to keep a clean sheet in each of them. |
Their attacking return has been equally concerning, with Wolves managing just seven goals in 17 away league fixtures this season.
Daniel Bentley will continue in goal with first-choice goalkeeper Jose Sa still sidelined by an ankle injury. Sam Johnstone(shoulder) and Enso Gonzalez (knee) also remain unavailable, while Ladislav Krejci will be assessed ahead of kickoff.

Whispers Predicts: Brighton & Hove Albion 3-0 Wolverhampton Wanderers
Wolves have failed to keep a clean sheet in their four meetings against Brighton, and considering their defensive performances this season, they are likely to concede again.
They have conceded first in each of their last six matches, and have lost the first half in four of their last five games. Thus, Brighton can be backed to win the first half at 1.75.
Danny Welbeck has scored 13 goals in the Premier League this season, and the 35-year-old striker has recently scored against Chelsea. The former Man Utd forward is priced at 1.9 to score anytime.
| 📈 Whispers' Tips |
| > Over 2.5 goals at 1.53 | Likelihood: Probable |
| > Danny Welbeck to score anytime at 1.9 | Likelihood: Outsider |
| > Brighton win and BTTS – No at 2.2 | Likelihood: Outsider |
| > Under 10.5 corners at 1.67 | Likelihood: Possible |
