Brighton started its streak with back-to-back 3-1 wins over Newcastle and Bournemouth, and the eight-game run includes four wins and four draws. Roberto De Zerbi’s men had their most impressive performance of the streak in their last outing, as only a couple of late goals made the scoreline respectable for Tottenham in a 4-2 defeat at the Amex.
Will Brighton’s impressive home form now help the side break its Monday curse? The Seagulls have never won on Monday in the Premier League, losing four out of nine fixtures.
Wolverhampton is looking to win four consecutive top-flight matches for the first time since 1981. Gary O’Neil struggled through his first few weeks as Wolves manager, but the club has been rewarded for its patience with an impressive run. Across all competitions, the team has gone five games unbeaten.
Under O’Neil, Wolves have already scored 30 league goals, which is only one shy of matching the team’s total from last season. However, the attack currently faces challenging times, with Hwang Hee-chan away on international duty. The Korean forward has been involved in 43 percent of Wolverhampton’s Premier League goals this season, netting a team-high 10 goals and recording three assists.
Brighton will also be without its Asian ace, Kaoru Mitoma, who is nursing an ankle injury, and there will be at least seven absentees for De Zerbi on Monday. It’s a difficult situation to handle, but the Italian has proven himself to be a great tactician who always finds ways to get the best out of his players, and Brighton has been playing well despite its lengthy list of injuries.
This match-up has also brought a lot of success for Brighton in recent years. The Seagulls ruined O’Neil’s home debut as Wolves boss with a 4-1 win, and Brighton has tallied four consecutive victories overall in the head-to-head meetings, scoring 16 goals. A big chunk of the goals came last season at the Amex when Brighton recorded its biggest-ever win in the Premier League with a 6-0 scoreline.
