Brentford vs Wolves Preview

• Tournament: Premier League
• Date: Saturday, October 5, 2024
• Time: 2:00 pm GMT
• Venue: Gtech Community Stadium

Bottom-placed Wolves to take on Brentford at away at the Gtech Community Stadium on Saturday with the hope to earn their first victory of the Premier League season. They come into this game after a 1-2 defeat at the Molineux stadium against Liverpool. They have so far secured just one point in the six games. They have already faced four of the current top five (Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea, and Aston Villa) which had been an incredibly challenging start to the campaign. One of the positives is they have come good in the final third, scoring in each of their last seven games across all tournaments.

On the other hand, Brentford are currently placed in the 12th spot with two victories and a draw in the last six games. They scored within the first 30 seconds of the match against Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City but were not able to hold on to that early lead. Bryan Mbeumo’s 37-second strike made Brentford the first premier league side to score in the first minute of the three successive games. Another record that they would be looking to maintain is their winning streak at home. Thomas Frank’s men have also conceded only one goal in each of their four games at the Gtech Community Stadium.
