Brentford drew with West Ham in the FA Cup and went to a penalty shootout, eventually losing 3-5 on penalties and being eliminated. In the league, Brentford have picked up 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 defeat in their last five matches, a solid run of form. Brentford operate a 4-2–3-1 counter-attacking system. Although they only control around 40% possession per game and record fewer than 10 shots per match on average, they have scored 44 league goals thanks to highly efficient finishing, with fast transitions as their most dangerous weapon. Furthermore, Brentford are strong at home: in 14 home league games so far, they have recorded 7 wins, 4 draws and 3 defeats, giving them a 50% win rate and an unbeaten rate as high as 78%.
Wolves lost 1-3 at home to Liverpool in their previous FA Cup match, failing to reach the quarter-finals. However, in the league, Wolves are on a two-game winning streak, beating Aston Villa and Liverpool in succession, defying external expectations. Wolves’ recent strong form stems from several factors: firstly, their attacking organisation and counter-attacking speed have improved noticeably, with better understanding between players; secondly, their home defence has been solid, and their ability to withstand pressure in the defensive block has increased significantly, laying a foundation for late victories. Nevertheless, poor away form remains a major weakness. In 14 away league games so far, Wolves have managed only 4 draws and 10 defeats.
Although Wolves have impressed in the league lately, their overall quality is still below that of Brentford. In addition, Brentford are dominant at home, while Wolves have one of the worst away records in the Premier League. Taking everything into account, Brentford — strong at home and with better overall quality — are clearly the more reliable side.
