Brentford v Wolves Betting Tips [22 January 2022]

Brentford are coming from one tough clash right into another as they welcome Wolverhampton Wanderers right after their loss to Manchester United. Wolves have so far managed 31 points, and are placed eighth while Brentford go into this game placed 14th with 23 points. The hosts suffered a 3-1 home loss in their last game, at the hands of Manchester United. That was their third straight defeat, and also the third straight game in which they conceded three or more. In their last five league matches, Brentford have conceded 12 goals and they have no clean sheet in nine league games. Each of their last five matches across all competitions has produced over 2.5 goals with Brentford on the receiving end in most of these. They don’t look to be anywhere close to their form in September when they beat Wolves 2-0

Wolverhampton Wanderers will be looking to avenge their 2-0 home loss to Brentford earlier this season. That however, will not be their biggest motivation going into this game; they have top four ambitions. Ahead of this game, Wolves have played two games less than fourth placed West Ham, who are six points ahead. Wolves have some improvement on their game which has seen them score more and keep their solidity in defence at the same time. In the last two matches, they’ve scored six goals, and have conceded one goal in the last five matches. Only Manchester City, the league leaders, have conceded less than Wolves this season. Wolves are coming from a 3-1 win over Southampton and will be looking to keep up their run that has seen them register four wins in their last five matches.

Wolves are clear favorites going to this game; they have the second best defence in the league and goals are coming now. In the last two games, they’ve scored six and in the last five matches, they have conceded one goal. Brentford haven’t done so well in their recent matches and especially in defence. Back Wolves to win this.
