Predictions & Betting Tips

Brentford are flying high

Brentford find themselves in ninth position with 55 points from 37 games, while Wolves are 14th with 41 points from 36 games. Brentford’s success has come as a result of the consistency and energy that Thomas Frank has brought to the club since his appointment in 2018. The ‘Bees’ play a physical brand of soccer, winning plenty of aerial duels and being very analytics-driven. Yoane Wissa is a real threat in attack for the visitors, having scored four goals in their last five league games, but Bryan Mbeumo is their talisman. The DRC international has netted 19 times in 37 Premier League matches this season, making him a player to watch in our Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Brentford prediction.

Wolves aren’t a walkover

Wolves are certainly a tough opponent for Brentford on Sunday, even though they sit lower in the table and have lost their last two matches. Their 0-2 defeat at home to Brighton last time out was tough to take, but there have been some positives under Vitor Pereira since his arrival as manager in December 2024. Pereira has brought structure and discipline to the team, as well as an extra counter-attacking edge that the hosts have exploited with their pace and dribbling ability when the chance presents itself. With European places potentially on the line for Brentford, we can expect a full-throttle performance from Frank’s men, but Wolves will be determined to finish on a high and show they’ve progressed under Pereira, which is important to consider in this Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Brentford prediction.

Expect goals

Brentford are favourites for this game at +150, although Wolves are priced at +181, suggesting they are a much less likely outcome for this match. The Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Brentford betting tips point toward backing the visitors in this clash, but Wolves are dangerous on the counter and have won twice in their last three home meetings. Brentford have won seven, drawn three and lost eight of their 18 away league fixtures this season, so they’re definitely capable of taking three points at Molineux, but there is a good chance that Wolves will keep this close and potentially steal a point. The previous head-to-head saw Brentford win 5-3 and we think this could be another high-scoring affair. The hosts have averaged 1.44 goals per game at Molineux this term in the league, so they are consistent in their attacking output, even if it isn’t spectacular. Brentford have averaged 1.39 scored and 1.17 conceded on their travels in the top flight, so they have an excellent balance between attack and defence. The contrast of styles and the midfield battle should make this an interesting matchup, and this Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Brentford preview suggests that the recent form of both clubs and the quality in the final third points toward an away win.
