The Wolves and Brentford face off on Saturday in an English Premier League showdown at Molineux Stadium. These two teams last faced off in 2018 in the Championship and the Wolves won that game 3-0. 

The Wolves FC has gotten out to a slow start to the season, sitting in 13th place having picked up only three points. The Wolves have been involved in a lot of low-scoring games and for the most part, it’s been their offense that has been the issue. In the last game against Watford, the Wolves won 2-0. The Wolves didn’t score their first goal until the 74th minute and that was an own goal. Hwang Hee-chan also added a goal in the 83rd minute. In the previous three games, the Wolves had lost 1-0. It was big to get their monkey off their back with their first goals. The Wolves have given up only three goals total, and in this game, they will try to take a defensive shape again. 

On the other side of this matchup is Brentford who sits in 10th place in the standings with five points. Brentford scored two goals in the first game against Arsenal, but since that point, the offense has been an issue. In the last three games, Brentford has scored only one goal total. In the last game against Brighton, Brentford’s defense was good until the 90th minute when they gave up a goal, and lost the game. Brentford had seven shots, but only one of those shots went on goal. The job isn’t going to get any easier against a good defense, but they need to take risks in this game, to try to come away with the victory.

The Wolves defense has been good, and they are going to lockdown again in this game. Brentford only has that one goal over the last three games, and they aren’t going to find the back of the net in this game. I also don’t expect the Wolves offense to have many qualities chances. Back the under 1.5 goals.
