Brentford
suffered a 1-3 defeat away to Crystal Palace in the last round, extending their losing streak to five games in the
league. As a result, their performance has been sluggish, and their position in
the Premier League standings has slipped to 16th. Currently, Brentford are only
four points ahead of the relegation zone, increasing the pressure to avoid
relegation. One of the main factors contributing to Brentford’s recent decline
in performance is the influx of injuries. The absence of key forward Bryan
Mbeumo has had a particularly noticeable impact on them. Additionally, various
injuries to other key players have resulted in an overall decrease in their
effectiveness.
On the other hand, Wolves secured a convincing 3-0 victory over Everton in their home
match in the last round,
marking their third consecutive win in the league. This winning streak has
propelled them to the 11th position in the Premier League standings, showcasing
their excellent form. An important contributor to Wolves’ success this season
has been South Korean star Hwang Hee-chan. He has delivered an impressive performance, currently ranking sixth in the Premier
League’s top scorer list with 10 goals in the league. Hwang Hee-chan is also
the team’s leading goal scorer, highlighting his significant impact on Wolves’
attacking power. Furthermore, Wolves possess a potent attacking trio consisting
of Hwang Hee-chan, Neto, and Matheus Cunha, which serves as their primary
offensive weapon. This frontcourt trident has played a crucial role in their
attacking prowess and overall success.
Indeed,
the recent head-to-head encounter between Wolves and Brentford resulted in a
4-1 victory for Wolves when they played away from home. Additionally, when
considering their historical matchups, Wolves also have generally had the upper
hand against Brentford. Taking into account both teams’ recent performances, it
is reasonable to view Wolves worth paying attention to.
