Writing in his weekly predictions column for BBC Sport, pundit Mark Lawrenson backed a 1-1 draw.

Justifying his prediction, the ex-Liverpool defender claimed: "Wolves are wobbling a bit. Defensively they still look pretty sound but they are not scoring goals, which is why they are not winning many games and are stuck in mid-table.

"Brighton are the same, only they are hovering just above the relegation zone. A win would make a big difference to both teams, but I can see the points being shared."

Meanwhile, Lawro's opponent for the midweek fixtures, The Farm front-man Peter Hooton, opted for a narrow 2-1 Wolves win.

Last time the two sides met, back in March, the two sides played out a tedious goalless draw at Molineux, which saw both sides register just one shot on target.
