Wolves host Brentford at the Molineux this Saturday in the Premier League. Wolves are sitting on the edge of the top half of the table and need a win to move into the top half whereas Brentford are flirting with the relegation zone.
Wolves currently sit tenth in the Premier League after 23 games. Wolves have nine wins, five draws and nine losses, leaving them on 32 points, only one point behind Newcastle and three points from Brighton.
In their last five games in all competitions, Wolves have three wins, one draw and one loss.
The clash against Brighton saw just seven shots on target in the entire 90 minutes as both teams had to settle for the 0 - 0 draw. The Fourth Round of the FA Cup, saw an ill-tempered meeting with West Brom. Pedro Neto and Matheus Cunha both scored in the 2 - 0 win for Wolves.
Marcus Rashford and Rasmus Hojlund gave Manchester United the 2 - 0 lead at halftime. A penalty from Pablo Sarabia got Wolves on the scoresheet but Scott McTominay immediately scored for United. Goals from Max Kilman and Neto looked to tie the game but a 97th minute goal from Kobbie Mainoo gave United the 4 - 3 win.
The last time out for Wolves was against Chelsea. Cole Palmer opened the scoring and was joined on the scoresheet by Thiago Silva, but a hat-trick from Cunha and an own goal from Axel Disasi gave Wolves the 4 - 2 win.
Brentford, on the other hand, currently sit 15th in the Premier League. In 22 games, The Bees have six wins, four draws and 12 losses which leaves them on 22 points, just three points above the relegation zone.
In their last five games in all competitions, Brentford have one win, one draw and three losses.
Despite Danilo giving Nottingham Forest the lead in the third minute, it was level at halftime thanks to a goal from Ivan Toney. Ben Mee then gave Brentford the lead before Chris Wood equalised almost immediately. Neal Maupay grabbed a goal to give Brentford the 3 - 2 win. Maupay opened the scoring against Tottenham and was joined on the scoresheet by Toney, but goals from Destiny Udogie, Brennan Johnson and Richarlison gave Tottenham the 3 - 2 win.
The most recent outing for Brentford was against Manchester City on Monday. Maupay was on the scoresheet yet again to give The Bees the lead, but a hat-trick from Phil Foden grabbed the 3 - 1 win for Man City.
Also in their last five games, Wolves and Brentford have met twice.
In the Third Round of the FA Cup, The Bees hosted Wolves. Following the early red card to Joao Gomes in the ninth minute, Maupay gave Brentford the lead. However, in the second half, Tommy Doyle grabbed a goal to level it at 1 - 1 to send it to a replay.
The replay saw Nathan Collins open the scoring for Brentford. Nelson Semedo equalised before halftime, but Maupay regained the lead early in the second half. However, a goal from Nathan Fraser and a penalty from Cunha gave Wolves the 3 - 2 win.
