Gary Neville thinks something is ‘weird’ as he shares Wolves vs Brighton score prediction

Wolves will be looking to bounce back from their defeat to Manchester City when they host Brighton in the Premier League on Saturday.

Although Vitor Pereira’s men were beaten by the former champions, Kevin De Bruyne praised Wolves for giving them a difficult game.

The Old Gold went into that contest with six wins on the bounce, and if it wasn’t for Jean-Ricner Bellegarde missing a golden chance, a seventh victory could have been on the cards.

Wolves must now pick themselves up for the visit of Brighton, who are in 10th position and still have an outside chance of qualifying for European football.

Ahead of the showdown at Molineux, one former Manchester United defender has issued his prediction, and it may come as a surprise.

Gary Neville predicts Wolves vs Brighton

After dragging themselves away from danger and into 13th position, Wolves don’t have much to play for, although an increase in Premier League prize money is perhaps appetising.

So, when discussing the game on the Overlap, pundits Ian Wright, Roy Keane and Gary Neville gave their thoughts, with the latter issuing his prediction.

“It is a weird one, isn’t it? You’re not playing for anything, are you?” Neville said, suggesting that neither side have much on the line.

However, Keane spoke about the importance of playing for pride, while Wright pointed out that Brighton have European football to challenge for.

Keane said: “What about pride, Gary? What about your pride, your fans who have travelled? Wright replied: “Brighton have still got an outside chance.”

Neville then finished with his score prediction, and he thinks Wolves will win 3-1. “Yeah, we’ll go with 3-1 Wolves.”

Wolves’ recent head-to-head record vs Brighton is grim

Every side in the Premier League has a bogey team, someone they always seem to lose against. For Wolves, they hate coming up against Brighton.

In their last six top-flight meetings with the Seagulls, Wolves have lost five of them, only tasting a 1-0 victory in an FA Cup tie last year.

The above table makes for pretty grim reading, but will also fuel the players to end their winless league run and secure their seventh win in eight matches.
