BFC (Brentford) vs WWFC (Wolverhampton Wanderers) Match Prediction
England
GTECH Community Stadium
Brentford did end up hosting West Ham United in the Premier League last week and once again were off to a flier as Mbeumo struck another beautiful volley to score inside a minute. The Bees had some half chances to get their second; however, West Ham were building confidence. The Hammers equalised in the 54th minute on the turnover, with Soucek slotting in a well-worked move. The game ended level on the day.
Wolves welcomed Liverpool to the Molineux last week. Wolves started the game off well with Allison making some half-decent saves. Liverpool got into the game gradually and finally took the lead just before halftime through Konate’s rising header. Strand Larsen did well to dispose of Konate in a dangerous area, which saw the ball recycled finding its way to Ait Nouri to get the equaliser. That did not last for long, as Semedo fouled Salah in the box 5 minutes later, handing Liverpool back the lead. Wolves had some half chances but nothing noteworthy to trouble the Liverpool backline, leading to another defeat for Gary O’Neil.
Facts:
- Brentford and Wolverhampton Wanderers do not have a lot of history in the top flight of English football. The Bees, however, were victorious the last time these two met last season at the Molineux Stadium by 2 goals to nil. Brentford have never won two successive games against Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League. The last time they won two successive league games in another league was in the 2015/16 Championship.
- Wolverhampton Wanderers have done quite well in their visits to London’s GTECH Community Stadium in league games. The Old Gold have not lost a single game in any of their last 5 travels to Brentford’s home ground. They have won 3 and drawn 2 of the 5 games. Wolves and Brentford have played 3 times at the GTECH Community Stadium in the Premier League, with the away team winning 2 of the 3 games.
- Wolverhampton Wanderers in general have done really well in their recent visits to the capital of England. The Old Gold have won 3 and lost just 1 of their last 4 games against London clubs. Prior to this run, Wolves were dire when it came to playing against London clubs. They had 3 wins from 21 games in the capital, drawing 4 and losing 14.
- Brentford, with their first-minute goal against West Ham, became the first team in the Premier League to score in the opening minute in three successive games. However, they failed to win any of those games against Manchester City, Spurs, and West Ham. They did not even end up scoring another goal in any of the 3 games. Brentford can add to the record of scoring in the first minute, making it more difficult for any other team to achieve this feat.
Brentford vs Wolverhampton Wanderers Chance of Winning
The recent head-to-head record between Brentford and Wolverhampton Wanderers falls in the favour of the Old Gold. In the last 18 games between these two sides in all competitions, Brentford have 5 wins; 4 games have ended in a stalemate with Wolverhampton Wanderers winning 9 times.
Wolverhampton Wanderers and Gary O’Neil will surely not be happy with the way they have started the season. Their fans will have expected to do slightly better than where they are. The fixture run-in has indeed been difficult, but Wolves have thrown away some games after leading. The attack does have the ability to hurt teams; however, Gary O’Neil needs to figure out a way to stop conceding goals at crucial intervals.
Brentford’s biggest issue in their last 3 games has been that they have not scored more than 1 goal. Thomas Frank’s team does take early leads, but they are not able to get more. There is a heavy reliance now on Mbeumo to do the heavy lifting considering Wissa is out injured. Other attackers Fabio Carvalho and Kevin Schade need to step up and compliment Mbeumo as Wissa did. Based on everything we do, Brentford has a better chance of winning this game against Wolves on Saturday.

Brentford vs Wolverhampton Wanderers Predictions and Betting Tips
According to the bookies, Brentford have been tipped to beat Wolverhampton Wanderers by a narrow margin on Saturday at the GTECH Community Stadium. Brentford have the significant backing of the odds; however, the difference between the two teams is not significant. Wolverhampton Wanderers have still been given a chance for the risk-takers to get something from this game. Even the odds for a draw in this game are quite enticing considering Brentford’s result at home in their last game against West Ham United. Wolves have been given some backing by the bookies due to the decent fight they gave Liverpool in their last Premier League game.
Brentford continues to impress at home this season. Their record at the GTECH Community Stadium for their standards is actually quite good. They are unbeaten in any of their 3 games, winning 2 and drawing 1. Even against West Ham United, their performance was quite good. Having a 67% win percentage at the start of the season at home is something Thomas Frank will be quite happy with. The wolves’ only point this season has come away from home. They were able to go toe to toe with Nottingham Forest at the City Ground and get a result there. The start of the season has been difficult for them, having played some big teams, so it remains to be seen how they do against teams that are in and around them.
Our tips and predictions for this game are as follows: Our call is for Brentford to win this game by the slightest margin. The Bees to score 2 or more goals is our prediction for Saturday.
Brentford this season have had a consistent scoring record when it comes to scoring at their home stadium. Thomas Frank’s men before the game against West Ham have scored 5 goals in their first 2 games at home. Last week was the only game where they ended up scoring just 1 goal. West Ham are a more adept defence than Wolves. The Old Gold have conceded 2 goals on average in their opening 3 away games this season, and that is why we predict Brentford to score 2.
We do see both teams scoring in this game. The Wolves have been in very bad form, but they have been consistent goal scorers. The Old Gold have scored in each of their last 5 games in the Premier League, failing to net only on the opening day against Arsenal. Brentford share the same record, also scoring in 5 of their 6 games, having failed to score at Anfield in game week 2 of the Premier League. Both teams have not kept a clean sheet in any of their 6 games. Hence we back both Wolverhampton Wanderers and Brentford to score.
Brentford this season have been electric in how they have started games. The Bees in each of their last 2 games against Spurs and West Ham have scored in the opening minute. They also had a fast start at the Etihad Stadium against Manchester City. Wolves this season have conceded 16 goals out of which 2 have been conceded in the opening 10 minutes. There is a decent shout to back Brentford to score a goal in the opening 10 minutes on Saturday.
Bryan Mbeumo continues to shine for Brentford when it comes to scoring and assisting. The Cameroon attacker was on target once again against West Ham United. The goal last week was Mbeumo’s 27th goal in the Premier League for Brentford. He also has 21 assists to his name. Mbeumo’s goal contributions are the highest amongst any Brentford player since they came up in the Premier League. We back him to go into this game as the favourite to score in his third successive Premier League game. The last time he had a better scoring run was in the 2019 Championship season, where he scored in 4 successive games.
