Wolves come into the game on the back of an excellent 1-0 home win over Chelsea last weekend in the Premier League. The only goal of the match was scored in the 31st minute and Wolves kept a clean sheet to take maximum points.
Wolves’ win over Chelsea came having picked up a point in their previous fixture at relegation rivals Nottingham Forest. Wolves scored a late equaliser in that match to take a point and they have won 4 points from the last possible 6 points in the Premier League.
However, Wolves have achieved only 2 wins from their 8 most recent fixtures, all of which have come in the Premier League.
Home form in the Premier League shows Wolves have won 4 of their last 6 games. There have been wins over West Ham United, Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur, and Chelsea.
Wolves have managed to keep a clean sheet in each of those 4 victories and they have seen under 2.5 goals in 3 of their last 4 Premier League matches on home soil.
Brentford travel to Molineux having lost 2-1 at home against top four chasing Newcastle United in the Premier League last weekend. Brentford had an opportunity to score from the penalty spot but missed in the 29th minute.
They had a second chance on the stroke of half time and made no mistake to lead 1-0. However, Newcastle United came out strongly in the second half and scored 2 goals to win the game.
The defeat against Newcastle United means Brentford have failed to win any of their last 4 fixtures, all of which have come in the Premier League.
There have been defeats at Manchester United and at home to Newcastle United plus draws with Leicester City at home and Brighton away.
Away form in the Premier League shows Brentford have won only 1 of their 6 most recent games but have lost only 2 of their last 9 league matches on the road.
Under 2.5 goals have been scored in 6 of Brentford’s last 7 away Premier League fixtures.
Team news and Wolves are without the suspended duo of Rúben Neves and Jonny. Chiquinho is injured and there are doubts over the fitness of Boubacar Traoré.
Brentford have Pontus Jansson and Keane Lewis-Potter in the treatment room. Frank Onyeka and Kristoffer Ajer are doubts.
Brentford have dropped out of the race for European football in recent weeks but they remain a difficult team to beat on the road in the Premier League.
Wolves will be feeling confident following their win over Chelsea but may have to settle for a point in this game, with under 2.5 goals scored.
