Brentford vs Wolverhampton – 29/10/2022

2090

We have several fixtures to look forward to in the English Premier League on Saturday, including the meeting between Brentford and Wolverhampton Wanderers.

The match will be played at the Brentford Community Stadium and the hosts begin the weekend in 11th place on 14 points while the visitors are in 19th place on 9 points.

Brentford come into the game on the back of a disappointing 4-0 loss at Aston Villa last weekend.

Brentford conceded the opening goal after only 2 minutes and the second goal followed only 5 minutes later. Another 7 minutes passed and Aston Villa got their third goal before adding a fourth in the second half.

The first half display is something Brentford will want to forget and that defeat means they have won only 1 of their 6 most recent fixtures, all of which have come in the Premier League.

There have been defeats against Newcastle United and Aston Villa away plus Arsenal at home. The only win from their last 6 matches came at home against Brighton and ended in a 2-0 victory.

Trends show Brentford are tough to beat when playing at home in the Premier League. They have lost only 2 of their last 11 Premier League fixtures on home soil.

Brentford have kept a clean sheet in each of their last 2 home Premier League games and in 7 of their last 11 league games on home soil.

Wolverhampton Wanderers travel to the Brentford Community Stadium having lost 4-0 at home against Leicester City last weekend.

Having conceded 2 early goals, it was always going to be tough for Wolves to get back into the game and they conceded 2 further goals in the second half.

That result means Wolves have lost 5 of their last 6 fixtures, all of which have come in the Premier League.

There have been defeats at home against Manchester City and Leicester City plus away to West Ham United, Chelsea, and Crystal Palace. The only victory came at home against Nottingham Forest, who are the only team currently below Wolves in the table.

Trends show Wolves are on a poor run of just 3 wins in 20 in all competitions. They have failed to win any of their last 10 on the road in the Premier League and have failed to score in 4 of their last 5 away league matches.

Team news and Brentford continue without the injured trio of Aaron Hickey, Thomas Strakosha, and Pontus Jansson. They also have doubts over the fitness of Christian Nørgaard.

Wolves are without striker Sasa Kalajdzic, who is set to miss the rest of the season. Toti Gomes, Pedro Neto, and Raul Jimenez could all return to the squad following injury.

This looks the perfect fixture for Brentford to return to winning ways following their defeat last week.

Wolves have been poor for some time and they struggle to score goals when playing away. This has the makings of a home win, with a clean sheet for Brentford.
