Brentford vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
English Premier League, KO: 15:00 Oct 29, 2022, Gtech Community Stadium
Brentford are targeting a return to winning ways as they host Wolverhampton Wanderers in a Premier League fixture on Saturday. With Wolves looking out of sorts at the moment, the Bees will fancy their chances of coming out on top in this one.
Bretford were disappointing in their previous Premier League fixture as they were beaten 4-0 by Aston Villa. They were second best throughout the encounter and barely threatened the Villa backline.
That result is an extension of Brentford’s poor record on their travels as they are yet to win away from home this season. While it was a humiliating defeat, alarm bells should not be going off yet as they are still sitting comfortably in 11th.
The good news for manager Thomas Frank is that Brentford are returning to the Gtech Community Stadium, where they have done their best work this season. They Bees have only lost once at home this season and can count a 4-0 victory over Manchester United and a 2-0 win over Brighton among their results so far.
Wolverhampton Wanderers’ campaign appears to be worsening and looks in danger of completely unravelling. They are still without a permanent manager since the sacking of Bruno Lage, struggling for goals and are now fully entrenched in the relegation battle.
Steven Davies is the interim man at the helm and has led the team to just one victory since taking charge. Wolves have lost five of their last six matches and were beaten 4-0 by Leicester City in their previous fixture.
While Wolves have generally struggled lately, their record on the road has been particularly woeful. They are winless in their last 10 away matches in the Premier League, suffering eight defeats in a run that stretches back to last season.
How the bookies view it
Brentford have the upper hand among the bookies with a home win priced at 6/5 by Sport Nation. A victory for Wolverhampton Wanderers is valued at 12/5 by Betfred, who are also offering odds of 12/5 for a draw.

At the other end of the pitch, the duo of Mathias Jorgensen and Ben Mee have helped Brentford to clean sheets in their last two home matches. With Wolves struggling for goals at the moment, the Bees will be targeting a similar outcome at 2/1 with bet365.
