WOLVERHMAPTON WANDERERS and Brentford reconvene for their FA Cup third round replay at Molineux on Tuesday night.
The two teams played out a 1-1 draw at Gtech Community Stadium on the opening weekend of 2024, with Tommy Doyle's strike rescuing 10-man Wolves to set up this midweek return match.
That stalemate also extended the Old Gold's unbeaten run in all competitions to four matches, keeping their hopes of a first FA Cup triumph since 1960 alive in the process.
Having already thumped Brentford 4-1 during the festive period, Gary O'Neil will be hoping his team can repeat the trick on Tuesday night.
To date, Thomas Frank's team have failed to reach the heights of previous campaigns, with the Bees just three points above the relegation zone following a wretched run of five straight top-flight losses.
The capital club will be hoping that the FA Cup provides some much-needed respite and that a win here could act as a catalyst for an upturn in form moving forward.
Outright Betting
Wolverhampton Wanderers, who are unbeaten in their last eight home matches across all competitions, are 10/11 favourites at Bet 365.
Another draw in normal time between the pair has been priced up at 14/5 with Bet 365 while a Brentford victory is as big as 3/1 at UniBet.
Betting Angles
Instead of siding with either side in the 1×2 betting, a better option could be to venture into the Both Teams to Score market and back each side to oblige at 4/5 with Bet 365.
Goals have been a regular feature in games involving Wolves this season, with BTTS backers being rewarded in 15 of the hosts' 20 Premier League games this season so far.
That can be attributed to the fact that Wolves have clearly upped their attacking output under Gary O’Neil’s guidance, failing to score in just two of their 20 top-flight tussles this term to date.
What's more, the Wanderers have struck in each of their 11 home games across all competitions this season so far and they will certainly fancy their chances of extending that sequence against a Brentford side who are without a clean sheet in their last 10 matches.
That being said, at the other end of the park, Wolves are also susceptible defensively, having leaked at least one goal in 17 of their 20 Premier League matches this season thus far.
In fact, eight of the 10 sides to visit Molineux in the top-flight this term have landed a blow and the Bees are capable of following suit when they visit the Black Country this midweek.
Whilst Thomas Frank's team are toiling at the moment, they have scored in six of their last seven matches, two of which were during recent match-ups with Wolves.
With all that in mind, coupled with the fact that both teams to score has been the right wager in each of the two recent contests between the pair, siding with the same selection on Tuesday night seems like a sensible solution at 4/5 (Bet 365).
