Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the English Premier League match.
Gary O'Neil remains the head coach of Wolverhampton, but with each defeat, his tenure looks increasingly precarious. Will another loss lead to the manager being fired, especially since the international break is approaching?
Brentford
Brentford have remarkably scored within the first minute in three consecutive matches. While it might seem tempting to bet on them repeating this feat against Wolverhampton, such incredible fortune is hard to sustain. Bryan Mbeumo scored again, marking his second successive goal and fifth of the season, making Ivan Toney’s absence hardly noticeable. The Franco-Cameroonian remains the team's primary weapon.
Wolverhampton
Wolverhampton prevented Diogo Jota and Luis Diaz from scoring in their recent match against Liverpool, but that didn't stop the opponents from securing a close victory. Despite allowing just 10 (6) shots, Wolverhampton conceded chances resulting in an xG of 2.54. However, they capitalised on one of their rare opportunities by scoring against Alisson Becker. Brentford's defence, in turn, is unlikely to keep a clean sheet.
Brentford vs Wolverhampton Prediction
While a win for the hosts isn't necessary, it is almost guaranteed that both teams will find the net. In the last five meetings for each club, the bet on both teams to score has come through.
