Wolves and Brentford have become very familiar this season, and they will collide for the fourth time in all competitions on Saturday. The home side come into the round in fine form, and they could move up to eighth with a success against the Bees.
Premier League Preview
Wolves have defied all expectations this season, and they appear on course to achieve a top half finish. Many expected the team from the Black Country to struggle at the bottom of the standings this term, but they could move up to as high as eighth if they are able to gain maximum points this weekend against Brentford.
Wolves come into this fixture in fine recent form after winning three of their last five, and five of their last seven across all competitions. They bounced back to winning ways last weekend with a stunning 4-2 success on the road against Chelsea. Their recent run of form means that they have won four of their last six, netting 16 goals in the process. That is as many goals as they had scored in their previous 12 matches before the start of this sequence.
Brentford will be the visitors to Wolverhampton this weekend, as they continue to be burdened with the threat of relegation. The Bees have suffered four defeats across their last five matches, with their only victory coming against Nottingham Forest. They threw away a 1-0 lead against Man City in their previous match before suffering a 3-1 defeat.
A huge issue for Brentford is dropping points from winning positions. They have dropped a league-high of 26 points already this term, while they have lost more games than they have won after opening the scoring. Meanwhile, no side in the Premier League is on a longer sequence without a clean sheet.
Wolves vs Brentford Head to Head
Wolves were convincing winners in the previous league clash this term, and they are chasing a first league double over their rivals in the top flight since 1938-39. Meanwhile, Brentford have suffered defeats in three of their last four away matches against Wolves in the Premier League.
Wolves vs Brentford Prediction
Brentford should find this a much easier clash than their recent matches against Man City and Tottenham. However, Wolves boast the better form, and it could be worth siding with the team from the Midlands to continue their excellent run of form.
