“Instead, it is Wolves who are finding goals hard to come by - they have managed two in the same game only once in their past 10 matches.“Nuno Espirito Santo's side are basically waiting for the season to end, and it has been a disappointing one for them. I am going with Brighton to win here. They are basically safe now and, because of that, they might play with a bit of freedom.”Meanwhile, Lawro's sparring partner for the week, The Sherlocks drummer and Sheffield Wednesday fan Brandon Cook, backed a 1-1 draw, and simply stated: “Not a lot of goals in this one.”
