This season has been a disaster for Wolverhampton Wanderers. They have lost five of their first six games in the Premier League, while they only tied the remaining one. As a result, the Wolves are now at the bottom of the table with only one point.
“We know how brutal the Premier League can be if you drop your guard slightly. It’s a big week for myself, the players and the football club to get as much right in the next week as we can,” said the Wolves manager.
Wolverhampton Wanderers are now ready to play against Brentford FC, which is also not in their peak form. The Bees have won only two of their first six league games and lost three. However, all those three defeats came against big names such as Liverpool, Manchester City, and Tottenham Hotspur.
Stats & Fact
- Wolverhampton Wanderers lost their most recent meeting with Brentford FC in February. A defeat would see them losing consecutive matches against Brentford for the first time since the 2015-2016 campaign.
- Brentford have failed to win any of their last five home matches against the Wolves, losing three of them.
- The Wolves have lost only one of their last four away games against London side clubs in the Premier League, winning the remaining three.

Team News
Brentford captain Christian Norgaard missed the previous game against West Ham United, but he has recovered and is available to play. Manager Thomas Frank confirmed, “Christian Nørgaard is also available, which is a positive.”
However, the Bees are still missing Rico Henry, Aaron Hickey, Mathias Jensen, Gustavo Nunes, Yoane Wissa, Igor Thiago, and Josh Dasilva due to their respective injuries.
Kevin Schade was forced off against West Ham, but he is also available for tonight’s game. “Kevin Schade is ready, I expected that, it was cramp,” Thomas Frank stated.
As for the Wolves, they will be without Sasa Kalajdzic, Enso Gonzalez, Yerson Mosquera, Boubacar Traore, and Bastien Meupiyou due to their injuries.
Possible Lineup for Brentford:
Flekken; Van den Berg, Collins, Pinnock, Ajer; Norgaard, Janelt, Damsgaard; Schade, Mbeumo, Lewis-Potter
Possible Lineup for Wolverhampton:
Johnstone; Semedo, Bueno, Toti, Ait-Nouri; Cunha, Lemina, Andre, Gomes, Forbs; Strand Larsen
Prediction: Brentford 2-1 Wolverhampton
Brentford have lost three games this season so far and all against big names. But their performance against mid-table and lower-table teams was decent enough. They smashed Southampton and Crystal Palace to secure the wins.
Meanwhile, Wolverhampton Wanderers are yet to win a match. It will be very difficult for the Wolves to earn their first win at the Gtech Arena against Brentford FC.
