Mark Lawrenson makes Brighton prediction ahead of clash against 'wobbling' Wolverhampton Wanderers

Brighton & Hove Albion are back in Premier League action this weekend, when they take on Nuno Espirito Santo's Wolverhampton Wanderers at the AMEX Stadium on Saturday evening.

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.
