Brentford vs Wolverhampton Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 5th January 2024

The FA Cup game at Gtech Community Stadium on Friday sees visitors Wolverhampton facing home side Brentford.

Brentford have their target aimed at getting one over Wolves this coming Friday, but the latter are highly motivated of showing their skills in front of the crowd at Gtech Community Stadium.

Brentford step into their next home match on Friday having scored a nice average of 1.6 goals in ten matches. They managed a total of 16 goals, while also allowing 19 goals against. That is an average of 1.9 goals against per match. They were able to hang on to a clean sheet one times in those matches.

Wolverhampton average 0.9 goals a game in their last ten outing, scoring a total of nine goals. They conceded an average of one per game, for a total of ten goals, whilst keeping their opponents from scoring four times.

Having never shared a season in the FA Cup in recent past, this is the first time Brentford comes up against Wolverhampton in this context.

Brentford vs Wolverhampton Prediction

Brentford Form

Brentford endured a tough spell in their previous three matches, which brought three defeats. They lost 1-2 against Aston Villa, before Wolverhampton won 1-4, while Crystal Palace claimed all three points in a 3-1 win. In their last six FA Cup home matches, Brentford have three wins, while they've drawn zero and lost three. They scored seven and conceded seven goals.

Wolverhampton Form

Wolverhampton look fabulous with three wins on the trot, starting off against Chelsea, who were defeated by 2-1. Then, Brentford got outclassed in a 1-4 win, before beating Everton by 3-0. In their last six away matches in the FA Cup, Wolverhampton won twice, while also recording two draws. They endured two defeats in this run, with a scoreline from these matches saying eight goals conceded and eight scored.

Bookmakers rate the match more or less equal, but Brentford have looked a little shaky recently. We believe, it could be optimal time for Wolverhampton to visit Gtech Community Stadium, and we back them for a good result.
