S.P.Read Esq: Brighton v Wolves

Our daily columnist and pundit S.P. Read Esq. looks ahead to the Championship game on Friday between BRIGHTON v WOLVES and finds the best opportunities available on Star Spreads, the home of sports spread betting.

Happy New Year and welcome to 2016.

Plenty of sport to get stuck into on Friday including racing at Cheltenham and the darts quarter finals:

Alan Norris v Jelle Klaasen
Gary Anderson v James Wade
Raymond van Barneveld v Michael Smith
Adrian Lewis v Peter Wright

It’s a quieter day on the football front with just three games but they are all televised.

First up at 3pm is Brighton v Wolves in the Championship. After a stunning start to the season Brighton have just gone off the boil with two defeats in their last three games. Firstly at the hands of Middlesbrough who brushed them aside 3-0 and then a 1-0 home defeat to Ipswich. Both Boro and Ipswich are very much in the promotion hunt themselves so there is no disgrace in those losses but coming on the back of a 21 match unbeaten streak Brighton boss Chris Hughton will be hoping that normal service can be resumed and the recent games are no more than a wobble rather than a full scale collapse.

On-loan Dutch winger Rajiv Van La Parra is missing from the Brighton squad against his parent club.

Brighton have further team worries with defenders Uwe Hunemeier (groin), Liam Rosenior (knee) and Gaetan Bong (thigh) all definitely out and team captain Gordon Greer is rated doubtful with a hamstring injury.

Wolves are without defender Kortney Hause (hamstring) and keeper Emi Martinez (thigh) who is close to a return but will not play.
