Wolves Manager Faces Unwanted Record vs Brighton: Can Lopetegui Avoid the Curse?

It’s not the kind of record anyone wants to be chasing, but Wolves boss Julen Lopetegui is staring down the barrel of a pretty undesirable feat as he prepares to face Brighton this weekend. He’s already lost his last two Premier League matches against the Seagulls, and another defeat would make him the first Wolves manager in the Premier League era to lose three in a row against them. Yikes.

Lopetegui took over at Molineux back in November, and while he's done a decent job of steadying the ship, he's been struggling to crack the code against Brighton. The Seagulls have been a thorn in the side for Wolves for a while now, and they've got a knack for exploiting the weaknesses in Wolves' game. It’s a real head-scratcher, because Wolves have been a force to be reckoned with against most other teams.

The key to unlocking the Brighton puzzle might lie in their ability to hold onto possession and control the tempo of the game. Brighton's style of play, which involves quick passing and clever movement, has proven difficult for Wolves to handle. Let’s face it, Wolves are a team that likes to get stuck in, but they struggle to deal with teams that play a more intricate style.

It's a big test for Lopetegui and his team. A win would be a huge boost to their confidence and could help them to climb the table, but a loss would likely see them fall further behind their rivals. They've got the talent, but they're gonna need to find a way to stop Brighton from doing their thing if they want to avoid the dreaded record.

The pressure's on, Julen. Let’s see if you can break the curse.
