Preview

Brentford have enjoyed the comforts of home this season and rate a value bet at odds-against to return to winning ways at the expense of a Wolves side in disarray.

Both teams were stuffed 4-0 in their latest outings but while Brentford can put their loss down to a bad day at the office, Wolves’s defeat forms part of a worrying trend for a club who have slumped to 19th in the table.

Wolves, still without a permanent manager, have lost five of their last six, failing to score in four of those games, while a previously solid defence has become frighteningly fragile.

Brentford striker Ivan Toney, who has scored six goals in his last seven games, should pose a big threat to Wolves as part of a Bees side expected to produce a response after their loss to Villa.

Thomas Frank’s men have the sixth-best home record in the league, boasting three wins and three clean sheets at their west London base, and have more than enough to tame toothless Wolves.
