Bet Over 2.5 in the Hope of a High-Scoring Game

The price for Over 2.5 on the Total Goals market is -138 and we think that these odds are especially attractive. We anticipate that Wolverhampton and Brighton can combine to good effect and it’s therefore a value wager.

2-2 Draw in Previous H2H Encounter

Wolverhampton Wanderers have won three home games on the spin. On the road at Etihad Stadium in their last game, they were beaten 1-0 by Manchester City. Vitor Pereira's side recorded just 36% possession and one shot on target.

Brighton drew 1-1 in their previous game. This was at home at The American Express Community Stadium against Newcastle United. The Sussex team had 46% possession and two shots on goal, while Yankuba Minteh was on the scoresheet.

The American Express Community Stadium played host to the last encounter between Wolves and Brighton, with the former playing away. The clash ended in a 2-2 draw. It’s been five Brighton victories, two draws and three Wolves wins in the previous 10 H2H meetings.
