Brentford vs Wolves Prediction & Tips
After a blazing start to their first Premier League (PL) campaign, Brentford are now going downhill after their 3-1 midweek loss to Manchester United, which was their third successive and fifth game without a win in the last six days (G1). Coach Thomas Frank knows that teams below him have unfinished business, so losing in four successive league games for the second time this season would force him to start eyeing relegation fears.
And what is worse, Saturdays have not been a good day for the “Bees”, as they have won only one of the nine PL matches played on that day (E4, P4). That only victory was precisely 2-0 against Wolverhampton Wanderers in September, so this game is their first chance to win both games in a single season against the same opponent in their history in PL.
Wolves are performing much better, with their convincing 3-1 win over Southampton on the final matchday being their third in the last four outings (E1), which has secured them a place in the top half for the time being. of the table. A key element in that success is that when the Wolves strike first they often don’t leave their prey alive, as their average 2.78 points per game in which they open the scoring (G8, E1) shows.
With a total of just 32 goals in Wolves’ 20 PL games so far – the lowest in the league – coupled with the fact that Brentford have only found the net in three of their last six PL games, surely this clash you won’t have many. Furthermore, only four Wolves games this PL have featured more than 2.5 goals – the lowest number among the top five European leagues.
Players to watch: After scoring the consolation goal against United, Ivan Toney has opened the scoring for his team in eight of the last nine games he has netted for Brentford, while Raúl Jiménez has scored five of his last seven goals in PL with the Wolves after the break.
Featured fact: Brentford have only been able to win four of the 19 PL matches in which they have not started as favorites (D5, L10).
