Whilst Wolves have shown tremendous growth this season, their form on the road has been a little suspect. Although they hammered Brentford, they have been a side on a downward curve in recent weeks, and other results away from Molineux are concerning.

Prior to this result, Wolves suffered four consecutive defeats to the hands of Sheffield United, Fulham, Arsenal and West Ham. They conceded at least two in all of those matches.

It’s also worth noting Hee-Chan Hwang, who has ten goals to his name, is representing South Korea at the 2024 Asian Cup.

Conceding 17 goals on the road in 10 games, Wolves need to sharpen up their defence. However, with De Zerbi’s full-flowing attacking side at home, it doesn’t look as though a clean sheet is on the cards.

With Joao Pedro continuing to showcase why he was worth breaking the bank for, having scored seven Premier League goals, those around him also deserve credit.

Pascal Gross, Facundo Buonanotte and Evan Ferguson have all shown how dangerous they can be when linking up. Brighton, although recent form has been average, are a different beast at home. Wolves are capable of scoring, but their defence isn’t up to scratch.

As mentioned, Joao Pedro has been in tremendous form in his debut season for the Seagulls. Many eyebrows were raised when he was first brought in for a substantial fee, but his performances in both the Premier and Europa League have been outstanding.

Last time out at the Amex, Brighton brushed aside Spurs 4-2, where Pedro scored a brace as they picked up all three points.

Diving deeper into Pedro’s statistics, the Brazilian fired four shots on goal in that victory over Spurs. In a tricky encounter against West Ham on the road he still managed two strikes, where he also managed two in the derby away to Crystal Palace.

However, he’s produced his best work at home in all competitions, and with seven goals to his name in the Premier, six in six in the Europa and two in the FA Cup, it’s difficult to look anywhere else against a team who are struggling to defend on the road.

Brighton aren’t a side to pick up too many yellow cards, especially at home when they are on the front foot. And with Wolves struggling on the road, it only makes sense to target a defender who has picked up a couple of yellow cards in those matches.

Step forward Max Kilman, who picked up a yellow card in both recent fixtures against Brentford. The 26-year-old will have his work cut out on Monday evening, lining up on the right side of Wolves’ three man defence.

With two wide full-backs looking to try and link up with the midfield, this creates gaps in the wide areas which Brighton will be looking to exploit.

As mentioned, Joao Pedro likes to work his magic out wide, as does Pascal Gross and Danny Welbeck, who all alternate positions when transitioning the ball forward.

Often travelling in packs, the Wolves defender may be targeted or left out on his own on occasions, which is why he’s picked up a couple of yellow cards of late. With Brighton expected to take the game to Wolves, who may struggle to find an outlet at times, Kilman could well pick up his third yellow card, taking one for the team in certain situations.
