Brentford vs Wolverhampton – Preview, Prediction and Betting Tips 27/12/2023

Following the traditional period of English football games between Christmas and New Year, we will have some more attractions this Wednesday.

One of the games takes place in London, when Brentford hosts Wolverhampton, and this game could be important for both teams in the fight against relegation.

Brentford

Brentford are in the most delicate situation so far, occupying 14th place with 19 points.

The team is 7 points behind Luton, which opens up the last-placed zone and although it is a comfortable distance, its series of results ends up being very worrying.

This is because the team comes from 3 consecutive defeats in the last rounds, losing to Brighton, Sheffield and Aston Villa.

The big problem was having lost to the last placed team, which shows that they are not exactly a reliable team, even against teams that are not part of the league’s elite.

In 17 games the team won 5 times, having also had 4 draws and 8 defeats, 24 goals scored and the same 24 conceded.

It is not a team that is characterized by a high average possession of the ball, it is also not a purposeful team and that is why even at home, we should see a vertical game on the home team’s side.

In fact, playing at home, Brentford has 3 wins, 3 draws and 3 defeats, which reinforces the idea that they are an absolutely unreliable team at this point in the season.

Wolverhampton

Their opponent will be Wolverhampton and it seems that the team is almost definitively moving away from the fight against relegation.

But even so, they have a better chance of returning to this dispute than fighting for a place in European leagues, as they have 12 points less than the last team that makes up this block of the table.

Wolves so far have 6 wins, 4 draws and 8 defeats, with 23 goals scored and 30 conceded.

Although they are also a team of ups and downs, they are coming off a great victory, when last Saturday they achieved a great result against Chelsea, playing at home.

Although Chelsea won’t have a great season again, it’s still an impressive result. The team won 2-1 at home, in a game where they also positioned themselves with lower lines, but managed to connect good offensive transitions.

They managed to balance Chelsea’s number of shots and therefore, we believe that even away from home against Brentford, they can put the same strategy into practice and have a good offensive volume again.

Away from home, Wolverhampton has 6 defeats in 9 games, coming from 4 in a row, but even so, Brentford is not a reliable team.

Conclusion:

In this way, we will avoid the victory market for the home team and bet on the goal line, believing that both teams can contribute.
