Brentford vs Wolves Key Stats
Off the back of a disappointing three successive defeats in the English top flight, Thomas Frank and his Brentford squad welcome Wolves to the Gtech Community Stadium on Wednesday night.
Keane Lewis-Potter put the Bees ahead against Aston Villa last time around, but after a late fightback from Unai Emery‘s side – they turned the game on its head and condemned the London-based side to a third successive defeat in the league.
This poor run of form has contributed to Brentford occupying 14th place in the league table, while Wolves are three points to the good of them in 12th place.
Gary O’Neil’s side come into this clash off the back of a 2-1 triumph over Chelsea at Molineux on Christmas Eve, where Mario Lemina and Matt Doherty got the all important goals to extend their unbeaten run at home to eight straight matches.
Wolves Boast Stronger Record In The Fixture
Wednesday night’s visitors have a better record in this fixture historically, as previously alluded to, and are unbeaten in their last three matchups against Brentford – winning twice and drawing once.
The pair last met in April where Wolves ran out as 2-0 winners thanks to goals from current top scorer Hwang Hee-chan and the now-departed Diego Costa, which followed on from a 1-1 draw at the Gtech Community Stadium earlier in the campaign.
Brentford’s sole win over the Midlands-based side in their last five meetings came in their opening matchup after being promoted from the second tier, where Ivan Toney and Bryan Mbeumo scored in a 2-0 win away at Molineux in September 2021.
Brentford Have Won Just Once In Their Last Six Matches
It’s been no secret that Brentford haven’t been at their best this term, and this has only been highlighted in the absence of star striker Toney. The England international is set to return in January after serving a ban due to gambling restrictions.
While Toney has been reduced to watching from the sidelines, Mbeumo has stepped up and leads the Bees’ goalscoring charts in the league with seven goals, however the Cameroonian has been ruled out for the forseeable future after picking up an injury against Brighton earlier in the month.
Since his injury, Brentford have managed just one goal in two successive defeats to Sheffield United and Aston Villa. Not only that, but they have won just once in their last six English top flight matches, with that victory coming over relegation strugglers Luton at the start of December.
