Bitesize Prediction: Wolves vs Brentford – 10/02/24

Competition: Premier League

Market: Wolves win

Odds: 23/20 @ Pribet

Hoping to shore up their place in the top-half chase, Wolves will welcome Brentford to Molineux on Saturday afternoon.

Starting with the hosts, putting in another stunning performance last weekend as they stormed their way to a 4-2 victory away at Chelsea, the mood in Wolves’ camp should be at a real high. Making an immediate return to winning ways last time out, Gary O’Neil’s side have certainly received a string of plaudits this season. Skyrocketing their way up the Premier League standings and breaking into the top-half, the former Bournemouth boss will be calling on his squad to make another statement here. Extending on their FA Cup adventure last month as they secured a 2-0 win away at bitter local rivals West Brom, Wolves have lost just one of their previous nine appearances across all competitions – a run that stems back to December 17th. Unbeaten in all of their last seven showdowns against Brentford and suffering just a single defeat at Molineux since the middle of September, O’Neil’s men should be smelling another real opportunity this weekend.

As for the visitors, suffering a collapse on home soil earlier in the week as they eventually fell to a 3-1 loss at the hands of Manchester City, Brentford have continued on a real Premier League struggle this season. Holding just a three-point buffer over the drop zone and looking over their shoulder at a looming relegation scrap, Thomas Frank’s men have mustered just a single victory from any of their previous 10 straight appearances across all competitions. With that extended rut stemming all the way back to December 2nd, the Bees have also gained a reputation for their extended issues on the road. In fact, Brentford have lost all of their last six contests outside of west London by an aggregate score of 15-6. Crashing out of the FA Cup on January 16th following an action-packed 3-2 defeat against Wolves at Molineux, we are expecting a similar home win for the top-half contenders on Saturday afternoon.
