Tactical Considerations

• Wolves (Vítor Pereira): Likely to set up with 4-3-3 / 4-2-3-1, emphasising quick transitions, pressing in midfield, and width from wingers.

• Brighton (De Zerbi): Possession-based, flexible 4-3-3, heavy use of full-backs to overload flanks, patient build-up.

• Key Battle: Wolves’ midfield pressing vs Brighton’s possession control. Counter-attacks will be decisive.
