Brentford host Wolves this Wednesday at the Community Stadium in a big mid table clash in the Premier League. Both will be looking for a win to push themselves into the top half of the Premier League.
Brentford currently sit 14th in the Premier League after 17 games. The Bees have five wins, four draws and eight losses, leaving them on 19 points, just five points above the relegation zone.
In their last five games in all competitions, Brentford have one win and four losses.
In a London derby against Arsenal, Brentford held Arsenal out for the majority of the game. However, Kai Havertz grabbed the only goal of the game in the 89th minute for the 1 - 0 win for Arsenal. The one win came against a struggling Luton Town. Neal Maupay opened the scoring for Brentford just minutes into the second half and Ben Mee doubled the lead just seven minutes later. Jacob Brown did get Luton on the scoresheet but Shadon Baptiste scored to secure the 3 - 1 win for Brentford.
A penalty from Bryan Mbeumo put Brentford into the lead, but Pascal Gross drew Brighton level before halftime. However, a goal from Jack Hinshelwood gave Brighton the 2 - 1 win, with Brentford having just two shots on target. James McAtee scored the only goal of the game in added time of the first half to give Sheffield United the shock 1 - 0 win.
The last time out for Brentford was against Aston Villa, as the game against Manchester City was postponed due to the Club World Cup. Keane Lewis-Potter gave Brentford the lead in the last minute of the first half, but the floodgates opened after the red card to Mee. Alex Moreno and Ollie Watkins gave Aston Villa the 2 -1 win despite also having Boubacar Kamara sent off.
Wolves, similarly, sit 11th in the table. In 18 games, Wolves have six wins, four draws and eight losses which leaves them on 22 points, ten points above the relegation zone.
In their last five games in all competitions, Wolves have two wins, one draw and two losses.
The trip to Arsenal saw The Gunners take an early lead through Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard. Matheus Cunha did get Wolves on the scoresheet in the 86th minute but it was too late to challenge for a point as Arsenal held on for the 2 - 1 win. However, Wolves bounced back against Burnley. Hwang Hee-chan scored the only goal of the game in the first half to give Wolves the 1 - 0 win.
Harry Toffolo gave Nottingham Forest the lead in the 14th minute, but Cunha was on the scoresheet again for Wolves to grab a point and a 1 - 1 draw. Mohammed Kudus grabbed a brace and was joined in scoring by Jarrod Bowen in the 3 - 0 win for West Ham.
The most recent outing for Wolves was against Chelsea on Christmas Eve. Mario Lemina and Matt Doherty both scored in the 2 - 1 win over The Blues.
Brentford and Wolves have met 31 times in their histories, with the first meeting coming back in 1935. Wolves have the better record in the fixture with 15 wins, in comparison to Brentford’s 12 wins, with a draw somewhat uncommon, with only four so far.
