Brentford has had a mixed start to the 2023/24 Premier League season, but optimism surrounds their campaign as they host struggling Wolves. After a 1-1 draw against West Ham last time out, the Bees sit with seven points from six games (W2, D1, L3). While these stats seem modest, they are better than expected, especially with Ivan Toney’s departure during the summer transfer window. Coach Thomas Frank continues to hail his side’s efforts as “unbelievably fantastic,” Brentford will aim to extend their unbeaten home league run to four matches (W2, D1).
Brentford’s Quick Starts Hold the Key
Incredibly, Brentford have set a Premier League record by scoring in the opening minute for three consecutive matches, showing their ability to start games with a bang. A quick goal could set the tone for another positive outing as they aim to win back-to-back league matches against Wolves for the first time since the 2015/16 season. Bryan Mbeumo, who overtook Ivan Toney as Brentford’s all-time Premier League top scorer with 48 goal involvements (G27, A21), will be pivotal again.
Wolves’ Desperate Search for Victory
For Wolves, it’s been a nightmare start, with no wins in their first six league games (D1, L5). Their latest outing saw them fight admirably but ultimately lose 2-1 to Liverpool. As Gary O’Neil’s side heads into this clash, pressure mounts with the team sitting winless, and their dismal form on the road (D3, L7 in the last 10 away games) only adds to their concerns.
Interestingly, Wolves can take some solace from their head-to-head solid record at Brentford, remaining unbeaten in their last six visits (W3, D3). Mario Lemina, who scored in their 4-1 triumph at Brentford last season, could offer a glimmer of hope for the visitors, but their task remains uphill.
Prediction: A Tough Day for Wolves
Brentford’s fast starts and home form make them favorites in this contest. Wolves have struggled to close out games, and their poor run of results suggests this trip may end in another frustrating defeat. Expect Brentford to secure a 2-1 victory, with both teams finding the net. Wolves’ away-day woes and Brentford’s confidence at home could be the deciding factors.
