Wolves v Brentford

Wolves vs Brentford Preview

Following their recent entertaining 4-3 loss at home to Manchester United, Wolves returned to winning ways in the nation's capital last weekend when they registered a 4-2 win away from home against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, while Brentford slipped to a second defeat on the trot in the Premier League after being handed a disappointing 3-1 loss at home to Manchester City.

The recent win away at Chelsea helped Wolves up into the top half of the Premier League table and recent results overall have seen Wolves show some considerable promise under manager Gary O'Neil as the west midlands club have su?ered just the one defeat out of their last six matches, which was the aforementioned defeat to Manchester United.

However, wins against Chelsea 2-1 (at home), Brentford 4-1, Everton 3-0 and Chelsea 4-2 (away) suggest Wolves stand a decent chance of gaining another positive result on home soil at Molineux on Saturday afternoon.

Results at home will also give Wolves plenty of reasons to be confident ahead of this upcoming clash with Brentford as the hosts have lost just once in their last nine games, picking up five wins in the process while six of these nine home games have also resulted in Over 2.5 goals being scored as well.

Brentford were handed a 3-1 defeat at home by Manchester City last weekend which became The Bees' seventh league defeat in their last eight games overall thus underlining the di?culties the London side have experienced in recent times in the English top flight.

Brentford's latest defeat means The Bees remain in a lowly 15th place in the Premier League table and the visitors now find themselves just three points above the relegation zone prior to this weekend's action in the domestic top flight.

Out of a total of just six wins to date so far in this season's campaign, four of these victories have been achieved on home soil at their Gtech Community Stadium but this also means that The Bees have managed to capture just a measly two victories on their travels throughout this term to date.

Indeed, although Brentford have picked up wins on the road at Fulham and Chelsea, The Bees have also succumbed to no fewer than seven losses amongst their 10 away games so far this season which doesn't bode well for this upcoming trip to Molineux.

Goals also look likely to feature as six of Brentford's 10 away games to date have also produced three goals or more.

Wolves v Brentford Verdict

Three out of the last six meetings between Wolves and Brentford have resulted in Over 2.5 goals and as Brentford have conceded two goals or more in five of their last seven outings on the road, the goals market looks appealing here.

Therefore, our main bet will be Over 2.5 goals @ 1.80

Other side bets worth considering:

Wolves win @ 2.10

Correct Score: Wolves 3-0 @ 21.00
