Brentford v Wolves

Brentford vs Wolves Preview

Brentford picked up a useful point in their recent all-London affair at home against West Ham in a 1-1 stalemate, while Wolves slipped to a third league defeat on the trot last weekend in the Premier League when the west midlands club were dealt a 2-1 loss at home to Liverpool.

Brentford occupy 12th place in the Premier League standings heading into this weekend's action thanks to picking up two wins within their opening six games of the new season as The Bees registered home wins against Crystal Palace and Southampton but the hosts have also been handed three defeats as well.

All three defeats were inflicted upon Thomas Frank's side on their travels as the London club suffered losses on the road at Liverpool, Manchester City and Tottenham respectively but these fixtures may well have been ear-marked as tough encounters for Brentford to pick up points anyway.

However, a return to the Gtech Community Stadium this Saturday provides Brentford with a golden opportunity to halt a three-game winless run in the English top flight with the visit of bottom placed club Wolves, and daresay The Bees will be keen to further improve upon collecting just three wins in their previous 11 home games this weekend.

Wolves have struggled to make an impact in the early stages of this new Premier League season as Gary O'Neil's side currently sit in bottom place of the top flight table with just a meagre single point to their name which came by the way of a 1-1 draw away from home at Nottingham Forest.

Five defeats in their opening six games of this new season though has placed Wolves in a precarious position already this term and manager Gary O'Neil's position is becoming increasingly at risk following early season defeats at the hands of Arsenal, Chelsea, Newcastle United, Aston Villa and Liverpool respectively.

The bigger picture shows Wolves have now managed to capture just a single win within their previous 16 league matches in the English top flight and another defeat on the road at Brentford this Saturday could well push O'Neil a step closer to the exit door at Molineux.

Wolves' single highlight during this woeful 16-game period came in the form of a 2-1 home win against relegated Luton Town towards the end of last season but 12 defeats within these previous 16 games suggests this upcoming trip to the nation's capital looks to be another tough assignment for the west midlands club.

Brentford v Wolves Verdict

There is a glimmer of hope though for Wolves as the visitors have lost just once in the previous seven meetings against Brentford and having picked up four wins in the process, Wolves might just sneak a narrow 1-0 win here.
