Wolverhampton Wanderers’ season is up and running after their win over newly promoted Watford in the last game. They will be targeting the scalp of another newly promoted side, Brentford when the two face off at the Molineux in the fifth round of league matches. Hosts Wolves are 13th with three points and Brentford 10th with five points. A first league win of the campaign, beating Watford 2-0, handed Wolves their second clean sheet in five matches, and they haven’t conceded more than a goal this season. Only one of their five matches so far has produced over 2.5 goals and going to this match their target will be improving on a run of just one win in their last seven league games. They’ve lost seven of the last 10 league matches and facing a newly promoted side sounds like a good chance to improve. Against Brentford, Wolves are unbeaten in the last three matches, winning three.

The last time Brentford faced Wolves was in 2018, in the Championship. Brentford lost then, and as they go to this game they will be aiming at recovering from their first loss of the season. They are coming from a 1-0 loss to Brighton, that being their second winless outing after drawing with Aston Villa 1-1 earlier. In their last five matches, Brighton have failed to score in two. After their opening 2-0 win over Arsenal, they’ve failed to score in the subsequent three matches, and only one of their five matches this season have produced over 2.5 goals. The newly promoted side has played two away matches in the league so far and drawn both. They’ve failed to score in their last two meetings with Wolves and their hope here will be to do better on that front.
