Brentford vs Wolverhampton Predictions

• Brentford have lost seven of their last eight matches.
• Nine of the Bees’ last 12 games have featured at least three goals.
• Both teams have scored in eight of Wolves’ last nine away games.

Bees find themselves in a struggle

Brentford have dug themselves a bit of a hole in the Premier League and it looks unlikely that things will get much better in the FA Cup when they welcome Wolves to the Gtech Community Stadium on Friday.

A win over promoted Luton is all that Thomas Frank’s side have had to show for their last eight efforts and that included a 4-1 home defeat to Wolves just last week.

Brentford are eagerly awaiting the return of striker Ivan Toney from suspension but they remain short up front with Bryan Mbeumo out injured and Yoane Wissa away at the Africa Cup of Nations.

Wolves have won their last three matches having ended a four-match run of away defeats with their win over the Bees and should prove too strong.

Wolves can claim an entertaining win

While Brentford are short up front, Frank will also be mindful that his team have kept just one clean sheet in their 11 home matches this season.

Their games tend to feature plenty of goals – just three of their last 12 have failed to generate at least three – and with both teams having scored in all but one of Wolves’ last nine away games, a 2-1 away win could be a profitable move for correct-score punters.
