Brighton vs Wolves: Carabao Cup 2024/25 Statistical Preview
League Cup fixtures begin this week, with Brighton and Wolves preparing to face off at the Amex Stadium.
Both teams secured qualification for the second round with impressive victories in the first round; Brighton beat Forest Green Rovers 3-0, while Wolves overcame Gillingham 2-0.
Brighton, who reached the semi-finals of the competition last season, will be looking to put a disappointing start to their Premier League campaign behind them. They have won just one of their first five league matches, leaving them in 16th place.
Wolves, meanwhile, have made a solid start to the season under new manager Julen Lopetegui, winning three of their first five Premier League matches to sit in 8th place.
The two teams have met twice in the Carabao Cup before, with Brighton winning both encounters. The most recent meeting came in the 2020/21 quarter-finals, with Brighton winning 2-0 at Molineux.

Brighton vs Wolves Carabao Cup prediction
Brighton will be looking to use this Carabao Cup match as a springboard to kick-start their season. They have a good record against Wolves in this competition, and will be confident of getting a result at home.
However, Wolves are a dangerous team, and they will be looking to make a statement under their new manager. They have a good mix of experience and youth, and they will be confident of causing an upset.
Overall, this is a tough match to call. Brighton will be slight favorites, but Wolves have the quality to win. I predict a close match, with Brighton just edging it.
