The FA Cup match between Wolverhampton Wanderers and Brighton will take place at Molineux Stadium on Thursday at 1:15 am IST.
On Wednesday evening, Wolverhampton Wanderers will host Brighton & Hove Albion at Molineux Stadium for a fifth-round FA Cup match. Wolverhampton recently won 1-0 against Sheffield United, while Brighton secured a 1-1 draw against Everton.
Wolverhampton Wanderers recently won 1-0 against Sheffield United, with Pablo Sarabia scoring from Rayan Ait-Nouri’s assist. They’re now close to breaking into the European spots in the Premier League, just one point behind their upcoming opponents, Brighton & Hove Albion. Wolves have also had success in the FA Cup, knocking out Brentford and West Bromwich Albion in 2024. Despite some past successes in the FA Cup, like reaching the semi-finals in 2018-19, Wolves haven’t gone far in the tournament since the early 2000s. Now, they face another challenge from a team from the South Coast as they aim to progress further in the competition.
While Wolverhampton Wanderers managed just one goal against Sheffield United, Brighton & Hove Albion scored five in their recent FA Cup match and four against Stoke City earlier. Despite facing Everton after a past heavy defeat, Brighton salvaged a draw with a late goal from Lewis Dunk. They’re also holding onto a Europa Conference League spot in the Premier League. Brighton has a decent history in the FA Cup, reaching beyond the fifth round in three of the last six years. Their scoring pattern suggests they might score multiple goals against Wolves. Although Wolves held them to a draw previously, Brighton won 4-1 against Wolves earlier in the season.
Wolverhampton Wanderers probable starting lineup: Sa, Kilman, Toti, S. Bueno, Semedo, Lemina, Doyle, Ait-Nouri, Neto, Bellegarde, Hwang
Brighton & Hove Albion probable starting lineup: Steele, Veltman, Webster, Dunk, Estupinan, Baleba, Gross, Fati, Lallana, Adingra, Welbeck
