At 23 pm Beijing time on February 10, 2024, and at 15 pm local time on February 10, a key battle in the 24th round of the English Premier League is about to start, and Wolves will sit at Molineux Stadium to meet the challenge of Brentford at home.
Due to Brentford's perennial mix in the lower leagues, Wolves and Brentford have only met five times in the history of the Premier League, with Wolves having a slight advantage with a record of 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss.
The two teams have met each other in the last six meetings in all competitions, with Wolves beating Brentford (including two FA Cup games) with four wins and two draws. The two teams met in the first leg of this season, with Wolves winning 4-1 away.
It is worth mentioning that in the past 6 meetings between the two teams, all of them have scored, even if it is a draw, there will be no 0-0 draw, and there are many big goal battles.
The recent situation of the two teams, Wolves under the leadership of Gary O'Neill, 23 rounds of games have achieved a record of 9 wins, 5 draws, 9 losses and 32 points, temporarily ranking 10th in the Premier League standings.
Brentford, under the leadership of head coach Frank, has completed relegation for 2 consecutive seasons since its successful overtake in 2021, and was ranked 9th in the Premier League standings last season, however, in the 23 rounds of the Premier League this season, Brentford only achieved 6 wins, 4 draws, 12 losses and 22 points, temporarily ranking 15th in the Premier League standings, only 3 points away from the relegation zone, and there is still a certain amount of relegation pressure.
Judging from the last 5 Premier League games between the two teams, Wolves have achieved a record of 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, and they are in good form; Brentford, on the other hand, have a 1-4 record and are in a bit of a bad form.
The injury situation of the two teams, Wolves are currently relatively neat, and there are almost no injuries in the team, which should be good news for the team to continue to rush up in the second half of the season and strive to get a European place.
On the Brentford side, the injury situation is a bit grim, Henry, Mbeumo, Hickey, and Shad are all lying on the sick bench and unable to play; Gedos, Wissa and Nyeka are still competing in the Africa Cup of Nations. The team is seriously short of major generals, and it is no wonder that the recent record has been poor.
The highlight of this battle, from the perspective of strength, the Wolves should have a slight advantage, and the comparison of each other's records is also more psychological.
However, Brentford's head coach Frank is a very noteworthy manager, his Brentford is quite distinctive, focusing on confrontation, and the players are plug-and-play, the team's big center Ivan Toney has returned from the ban, I believe that under Frank's careful arrangement, Brentford may bring us surprises.
Enjoy the New Year
