Current form
Brentford does not have solid financial capabilities by the standards of the Premier League, but this season they are fighting to play in European competitions for the first time in their history. The Bees have 44 points, they are in seventh place for the upcoming match and are four points behind Chelsea, who have already played their match in this round.
After losing at home to Brighton (0:2), Keith Andrews' team pulled off a difficult 4-3 victory away from Burnley and went home in peace with Bournemouth (0:0). Overall, there is no reason to talk about a decline in the Londoners' game: they have scored 17 points in the last 10 rounds. It is largely due to the fact that it has been possible to avoid a protracted series of failures since the beginning of the season that Brentford occupies such a high place in the standings. Plus, the team usually performs strongly on its own field, where it scored 25 points out of a total of 44.
Last week, Brentford completed their appearances in the FA Cup. At the 1/8 finals stage, there was a game with West Ham, where the rivals reached a penalty shootout, and the hammers performed better.
Disqualifications and injuries
Milambo, Dasilva, Carvalho, Hickey, Henry and Janelt will not play due to injuries. Nelson's entry into the field is questionable.
Interesting betting trends
Approximate line–up: Kelleher - Kayode, Collins, van den Berg, Lewis–Potter - Jarmolyuk, Jensen – Ouattara, Damsgaard, Schade – Tiago.
Current form
Wolverhampton have improved a lot lately, but it is unlikely that they will be able to save the season and keep their registration in the Premier League. The wolves have scored 16 points, they still close the table, and the gap from the saving 17th place is 13 points.
In the last five rounds, Wolves have suffered only one defeat, when they lost to Crystal Palace with a minimum score of 0:1 on the road. For an outsider, the result is more than solid, especially considering who we had to play against in that stretch. In the previous two matches, Rob Edwards' team defeated Aston Villa (2-0) and Liverpool (2-1). At the same time, it should be noted that there are still no successes on the road: not a single victory since the beginning of the season, only four points scored.
In the FA Cup, Wolverhampton finished their performance at the 1/8 finals stage, losing to Liverpool at home with a score of 1:3. Undoubtedly, the wolves are still hoping for salvation, but it is unlikely that they will be able to win back the handicap of 13 points. At the same time, there is a chance to leave the last place, as the gap from Burnley is only four points.
Disqualifications and injuries
Only Sa will not play due to injury.
Interesting betting trends
Approximate composition: Johnston – Mosquera, Toti, S. Bueno – Tchatchua, Joao Gomes, Andre, Manet, H. Bueno – A. Gomez, Arokodare.
Wolverhampton have made significant progress in the game, and they have become noticeably more reliable in defense. Wolves have two consecutive wins over Aston Villa and Liverpool. However, almost all successes are related to performances on their own field. Keith Andrews' team is still without a win since the start of the season. Brentford is having a great season for its level, fighting for the opportunity to compete in European competitions for the first time in its history, avoiding protracted slumps. Bees habitually score the lion's share of points in their field, relying on attack. We do not think that Wolverhampton will stand up to the onslaught of the Londoners on the road today, especially considering that they lost in the previous four head-to-head matches, and all the defeats were by a margin of more than one goal.
Our betting tip is a victory for Brentford with an Asian handicap (-1) for a coefficient of 1.90
Bet on the total
In home matches, Brentford relies on its attack, has managed to score 24 goals in 14 matches played. Wolverhampton, despite the away setbacks, have nowhere to retreat, they only need to play to win and try to respond. There is a high probability that the opponents will exchange goals scored, as was the case in two of the three previous face-to-face meetings.
The second bet is that both will score with a coefficient of 1.79
A bet on the exact difference in the bill
Brentford won three of the previous four head-to-head matches. It is impossible not to pay attention to the fact that all three victories were scored with a two-goal advantage. We expect that today the bees in their field will win with a comfortable score.
Prediction – Brentford win with a two-goal advantage with a coefficient of 4.60
The bet is an accurate score of 3:1
Brentford have scored their last three personal wins with a two-goal advantage.
9.501st halfbet: total less than 1.5 goals
In five consecutive matches against Wolverhampton, no more than one goal was scored in the first half.
1.51Bet Victory of "Brentford" on corners with handicap (-1.5)
In three of the last four matches, Brentford have taken more corners than their opponents.
1.50WolverhamptonbetWon't Lose on Yellow Cards
In 12 of the last 13 matches, Wolverhampton have not lost on yellow cards.
1.30Brentford has been unable to find stability in the game lately, but wolves are also not reliable in defense, so we will see productive football. The teams approach the match with the same number of points scored in the last five meetings, which makes this confrontation very interesting.
