Wolves vs Brentford prediction: ENGLAND: Premier League betting tips on match 2024-02-09 15:00.
[p]Wolves bounced back emphatically from their first defeat in 2024 to Manchester United by downing Chelsea 4-2 at Stamford Bridge last time out. That was the seventh game from the last nine in which Gary O’Neil’s men have scored 2+ goals (W6, D2, L1), helping them start to forge a reputation as one of the more exciting sides in the division. They’ll also head into this round just four points off of the top-seven and with legitimate hopes of returning to Europe for the first time in four years. [/p]
[p]Another win here against visiting Brentford would strengthen those ambitions, and with victories in four of the last five home H2Hs (L1), Wolves should go into the clash with confidence. The most recent came last month in the FA Cup (3-2) which continued a trend to look out for of O’Neil’s men scoring at least one goal beyond the hour mark in four straight home matches. [/p]
[p]Brentford will certainly need to be on guard after conceding twice after the break in a 3-1 defeat to Manchester City on Monday. Consequently, the Bees were left looking over their shoulder at a shrinking three-point gap to the relegation zone, and they now go into this weekend’s action with an unwanted record of having lost more Premier League games than any other side across the last 11 rounds (W2, L9). [/p]
[p]That highlights the downward trajectory Thomas Frank’s side is currently on, with their inability to see games out being one of their biggest issues. They’ve managed to open the scoring in 14 of their Premier League games thus far – only two sides had done so more – but have remarkably lost more games (six) than they’ve won (five) when doing so. [/p]
[p]Players to watch: Matheus Cunha scored and assisted in last month’s H2H win, and has been involved in seven goals in his last five Premier League games for Wolves (G4, A3). Brentford’s Neal Maupay is looking to make some personal history here by scoring in four successive Premier League games for the first time in his career. [/p]
[p]Hot streak: Wolves have scored in 18 straight Premier League home games – they last had a longer such run between October 1999 and September 2000 (23). [/p]
