Wolves v Brentford predictions

Brentford have suffered back-to-back defeats for the first time this season but Thomas Frank’s side have still lost only seven times in this campaign, a figure bettered only y the top four, and they are fancied to get the better of Wolves.

The Bees were unlucky to lose 2-1 to Newcastle last weekend as Ivan Toney missed one of the two penalties they were awarded, and they could get immediate compensation in the Midlands.

Only Everton have scored fewer goals than Wolves’ 24 this season and Brentford have netted almost double that amount with a tally of 47. 

Despite their 1-0 win over Chelsea last weekend, the hosts still look vulnerable against a motivated Bees side, who are clinging on to an outside chance of a European spot.

Only three teams have lost more games than Julen Lopetegui’s men and the visitors’ attacking talents can bolster that tally.

Key stat

Brentford's tally of 47 goals scored this season is nearly double Wolves' total of 24

Probable teams

Wolves (4-4-2): Sa; Semedo, Dawson, Kilman, Toti; Nunes, Gomes, Lemina, Podence; Costa, Cunha

Brentford (3-5-2): Raya; Zanka, Pinnock, Mee; Hickey, Dasilva, Norgaard, Jensen, Henry; Mbeumo, Toney
