Brentford vs Wolverhampton Prediction: A Draw is likely

Brentford's early goal specialists could achieve a Premier League-unprecedented feat when they host Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday afternoon at the Gtech Community Stadium.

Last weekend, Brentford had to settle for a 1-1 draw with West Ham United in the London derby, while Gary O'Neil's team's efforts proved futile as they lost 2-1 to Liverpool.

Latest team news for Brentford vs Wolverhampton

Brentford captain Christian Norgaard missed the West Ham game due to a minor injury, but manager Frank confirmed he is "almost" fit to play, so a return for the Wolves game is entirely possible.

Similarly, Mathias Jensen has been dealing with a calf problem for the past few weeks, but Rico Henry (knee), Aaron Hickey (thigh), Gustavo Nunes (back), Yoane Wissa (ankle), Igor Thiago (knee), and Josh Dasilva (knee) are still recovering from injuries.

Kevin Schade had to leave the pitch in the 60th minute against West Ham, but Frank confirmed that the striker only suffered cramps, so he could continue to partner with Mbeumo, who surpassed Ivan Toney's Premier League goal-scoring record for Brentford last weekend with 47 assists.

Wolves' doctors are also working hard as Sasa Kalajdzic, Enso Gonzalez, Yerson Mosquera and Boubacar Traore are all sidelined with knee injuries, and Bastien Meupiyou (unspecified injury) will be out for the next few weeks.

O'Neil also suffered another blow to the defense last weekend when Santiago Bueno had to leave the field with a gluteal muscle injury, but the centre-back has since returned to normal training, as has Craig Dawson, who missed the defeat to Liverpool due to illness.

O'Neil will probably not make many changes to the Wolves lineup after his tenacious effort last weekend, but Jean-Ricner Bellegarde only played 52 minutes and will have to compete for a place with Carlos Forbs, Goncalo Guedes, Hwang Hee-chan and Pablo Sarabia.

Latest football match prediction: Brentford vs Wolverhampton

Scoring within the first 30 seconds against Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City isn't a recipe for success for Brentford, but the Bees' commitment to scoring early didn't wane when London rivals West Ham visited last weekend.

In fact, Bryan Mbeumo took just 37 seconds to execute a stunning volley, making Thomas Frank's team the first in Premier League history to score in the first minute of three consecutive games. However, the Irons gradually regained their composure and equalized thanks to a goal from Tomas Soucek early in the second half.

The Czech midfielder's goal was reminiscent of Jack Wilshere's stunning goal for Arsenal against Norwich City in the 2013-14 season, when Brentford were baffled by some superb one-touch passing in a crowded penalty area, extending their winless run in the top flight to three matches.

Nevertheless, the Bees remain comfortably in mid-table position, 12th before hosting Wolves, where they could become the first team to score four consecutive opening-minute goals in the Premier League. They also remain unbeaten at home in all competitions in the 2024-25 season.

However, Frank's players have also conceded one goal in four games at Gtech Community Stadium so far and have dropped 38 points from leading positions since the start of last season, unsurprisingly the highest in the league.

Meanwhile, Wolves were almost on the opposite side in their home game against Liverpool last weekend, where O'Neil's side fell behind to Ibrahima Konate's first Premier League goal before Rayan Ait-Nouri quickly equalized for Old Gold.

However, Wolves only managed to hold on for a total of five minutes, when Mohamed Salah successfully converted a penalty in the second half to ensure that Liverpool left with all the spoils, while Saturday's visitors had to regret what could have happened against the league leaders.

When Liverpool look down at the other 19 teams, Wolves are bottom of the Premier League table, having only earned a single point from their opening six games while losing their last three matches, in addition to a defeat in the EFL Cup against Brighton & Hove Albion.

However, Wolves have faced four of the current top five teams (Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea and Aston Villa) in an extremely difficult start to the season, and O'Neil's players have continued to perform well in attack, scoring in their last seven games across all competitions.

Conversely, O'Neil's side were beaten 2-0 at home by Brentford in the 2023-24 Premier League season, but they thrashed the Bees 4-1 in that match shortly after Christmas 2023. Currently, Wolves are unbeaten in their last five games at Brentford. Wolves' early season results don't fully reflect O'Neil's side, who have faced some strong opponents early on, and the visitors' powerful attacking options are readily available to exploit Brentford's defensive weaknesses at home.

Keeping possession remains a serious problem for the visitors, but given Brentford's habit of losing their lead, we can imagine Wolves biting back to salvage a point, albeit one that would extend their painful wait for all three.
