Brentford vs Wolfsburg Preview
Brentford
Brentford had a disappointing 2023/2024 season. In the Premier League, they finished 16th and demonstrated lackluster performances throughout. Despite the poor results, the club maintained its faith in Thomas Frank, who has been coaching the Bees since 2018.
During the summer transfer window, Brentford sold David Raya to Arsenal, a move that sees the departure of a key figure in their defense. Additionally, there are ongoing rumours around Ivan Toney who is likely to leave the club after four years. To bolster their attack. Brentford signed Igor Thiago from Club Brugge, who already made an impact by netting twice against Wimbledon.
The pre-season period has been a mixed bag for Brentford. They drew against Watford and Benfica (1-1), lost against Estrela (1-3) but showed promise with a 5-2 win over AFC Wimbledon.
Wolfsburg
Similar to Brentford, Wolfsburg’s performance last season deserves nothing more than criticism. Ralph Hasenhüttl, who was appointed in March 2024, managed to pull the club out of the relegation zone. Still, the overall results were still underwhelming for a club of Wolfsburg’s stature.
So far, Wolfsburg have not been active in the summer transfer window. They signed goalkeeper Kamil Grabara from Copenhagen and brought in Mohamed Amoura on loan from Royale Union. Fortunately for them, they haven’t lost any key players, which could provide some stability going into the new season.
Wolfsburg played four friendly matches in July and August. They lost against Anderlecht (2-1) and Hannover (3-2), won against Lille (1-0), and played out a goalless draw against Como.
Bet hereBrentford vs Wolfsburg Prediction
- Pick: Brentford to Win
- Odds: 2.11 (22Bet)
- Score prediction: Brentford 2 -1 Wolfsburg
While both teams have relatively similar capabilities, Brentford holds a slight advantage as they are playing at home. Despite their poor results during the friendlies, Thomas Frank’s squad remains more organized and balanced.
Based on the four matches played, Brentford will continue with their usual style – pressuring the opponents and focusing on quick counterattacks. Wolfsburg, on the other hand, are concentrated on their defence, looking to build their strategy around counterattacks.
It will not be an easy match for the hosts. However, our Brentford vs Wolfsburg prediction suggests that they will have an advantage in possession and eventually break down Wolfsburg’s defensive barriers.
Brentford vs Wolfsburg Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Both Teams to Score
- Odds: 1.54 (22Bet)
Every Brentford pre-season match ended with both teams scoring. The Bees’ defense has looked inconsistent, often conceding due to errors. However, they created a lot of chances in the attack and managed to score against their opponents. The recent addition Igor Thiago already scored his first goals, while Bryan Mbuemo will be a major threat to defenders.
Wolfsburg, on their part, failed to score in just one game against Como. Their productivity has been boosted by Igor Thiago and Mohamed Amoura, who both already managed to score twice during the preseason.
Given the nature of a friendly match and the attacking potential of both sides, we expect an exchange of goals. Neither of their defensive lines looked convincing, so our football pick suggests placing a bet on both teams to score.
