Bitesize Prediction: Brentford vs Wolves – 05/10/24

Competition: Premier League

Market: Both teams to score

Odds: 7/10 @ 1xBet

Hoping to find a route into the top-half of the Premier League table, Brentford will welcome Wolves to west London on Saturday afternoon.

Starting with the hosts, suffering a second-half collapse on home soil last weekend as they eventually had to settle for a 1-1 stalemate, Brentford are seeking some recent stability. Despite heading into September’s international break with a routine 3-1 victory against Southampton, Thomas Frank’s men have collected just a single point from any of their three Premier League appearances since returning from the fortnight interval. However, despite extending on their EFL Cup adventure last month as they secured a 3-1 win against League One outfit Leyton Orient, the Bees know the importance of finding some crucial defensive resolve. Including a 3-1 loss away at London rivals Tottenham on September 21st, Frank’s side have registered just a sole clean sheet from any of their first eight appearances across all competitions. Likewise, it should also be noted, Brentford have seen each of their first four matchups in west London finish with both teams getting on the scoresheet.

As for the visitors, embarking on what has become a real Premier League nightmare, Wolves have continued to show a string of glaring issues. Last seen falling to a 2-1 loss at home against Liverpool, it appears there is mounting pressure on Gary O’Neil’s shoulders. In fact, marking their return from September’s International break with a 2-1 defeat against Newcastle, the former Bournemouth boss has seen his squad collect just a single point from any of their first six Premier League appearances. Likewise, crashing out of the EFL Cup last month following an action-packed 3-2 defeat away at Brighton, Saturday’s guests open this weekend’s fixtures sat rock-bottom of the table. In fact, continuing on from last season, Wolves have now failed to win any of their previous 10 consecutive showdowns against top-flight opposition. It’s also worth highlighted, O’Neil’s men have lost all of their last four straight appearances by an aggregate score of 10-5.
