Brentford vs Wolves Prediction & Betting Tips (5 October)

Not really worried about relegation since its accession to the elite in 2021, Brentford hopes to assert its presence a little more in the landscape of English football. This season, the Bees are currently 12th in the Premier League with 7 points gleaned from 6 matches. They have made a habit of getting the job done against opponents within reach in victories against Crystal Palace and Southampton. On the other hand, Brentford is still struggling to compete with the big names. Since returning from the international break in September, Bryan Mbeumo's teammates fell on the lawns of Manchester City 2-1 and Tottenham 3-1 before drawing at home against West Ham last weekend 1- 1.

Accustomed to finishing in the soft underbelly of the Premier League for several years, Wolverhampton is however worrying all its fans at the start of the season. Not yet at the level, Matheus Cunha's teammates quite simply occupy the last place in the ranking with a pitiful record of 1 draw and 5 defeats. They pocketed their only point on the lawn of Nottingham Forest at the end of August 1-1. Since then, Wolverhampton have lost to Newcastle 1-2, Aston Villa 3-1 and Liverpool last weekend 1-2.

Several elements are missing at Brentford this weekend. This is the case of the influential Wissa (3 goals in PL), the attackers who arrived at the club this summer Igor Thiago and Gustavo Nunes, the starting midfielder Jensen and the long-term absentees Henry, Hickey (defenders) and Dasilva (midfielder). ). Absent during the last 2 days, midfielder Norgaard is announced as uncertain. The former Trojan Mbeumo (5 goals in 6 PL games) has been shining since the start of the season.

For Wolverhampton, we must mention the withdrawals of the starting defender Mosquera, the fragile Metz-trained midfielder Boubacar Traoré, the former Nantes player Meupiyou (18 years old) and replacement attackers Kalajdzic and Gonzalez. Brazilian internationals André and Joao Gomes form the midfield with captain Mario Lemina. In the offensive sector, Matheus Cunha (2 goals in PL) and rookie Strand Larsen (1 goal and 1 assist in PL) take their place. Very crumbly behind, the Wolves have the worst defense in the championship.
