For several years, Wolves had been a hub for Portuguese footballers in the English Premier League. However, in recent times, this influence has dwindled, and the team, under coach O'Neil, has seen a shift in tactical discipline and a change in its style of play. Despite having only four Portuguese players in the current squad, the team has performed well under the new philosophy, garnering eleven more points than the previous year. Wolves has been in excellent form, winning three of the last four league games, including victories against strong teams like Chelsea and Tottenham. The recent 1-0 win against Sheffield United demonstrated their resilience and ability to secure crucial points. Wolverhampton now comfortably sits in the middle of the league, preparing for a relatively calm spring in 2024. The FA Cup presents a significant opportunity for Wolverhampton, and the home advantage adds value to their odds to "qualify" against Brighton. At the Molineux Stadium, the team has lost only four games, two of which were in the early part of the season. In their last eleven home games, Wolverhampton has left the pitch as losers only twice. On the other hand, Brighton, led by head coach de Zerbi, has been making strides in recent years. Despite their recent struggles, the team's 39 points after 26 games represent their second-best record in the Premier League. However, they have experienced a dip in form with only three wins in the last eleven league games. Brighton's offensive performance has been inconsistent, with impressive victories against top teams but a lack of success in other games. The recent 1-1 draw against Everton saw midfielder Billy Gilmour being sent off and handed a three-match ban, a significant blow for Brighton. In this clash I don't see Brighton winning as right now Wolves are very strong at home.

几年来，狼队一直是葡萄牙足球运动员在英超联赛中的中心。然而，近年来，这种影响力逐渐减弱，在奥尼尔教练的带领下，球队在战术纪律和比赛风格上发生了变化。尽管目前的阵容中只有4名葡萄牙球员，但球队在新的理念下表现出色，比去年多了11分。狼队的状态非常好，在过去的四场联赛中赢了三场，包括战胜切尔西和热刺这样的强队。最近1-0战胜谢菲尔德联队证明了他们的韧性和获得关键积分的能力。伍尔弗汉普顿现在舒适地坐在联赛中游，为2024年一个相对平静的春天做准备。足总杯为狼队提供了一个重要的机会，主场优势增加了他们“出线”对阵布莱顿的几率。在莫利纽球场，球队只输了四场比赛，其中两场是在赛季初期。在他们最近的11场主场比赛中，狼队只有2次输掉比赛。另一方面，在主教练泽比的带领下，布莱顿近年来取得了长足的进步。尽管最近表现不佳，但球队在26场比赛后得到39分，这是他们在英超联赛中第二好的战绩。然而，他们在最近的11场联赛中只取得了3场胜利。布莱顿的进攻表现一直不稳定，在对阵强队时取得了令人印象深刻的胜利，但在其他比赛中却缺乏成功。在最近1-1战平埃弗顿的比赛中，中场比利·吉尔摩被红牌罚下并被禁赛三场，这对布莱顿来说是一个沉重的打击。在这场比赛中，我不认为布莱顿会赢，因为现在狼队在主场非常强大。
