Brentford take on the visitors Wolverhampton in the round 19 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Wednesday, December 27th at Brentford Community Stadium (London).
Brentford are in their third season at this level. They have been performing well; moreover, in the previous season, the team was briefly among the formal contenders for a spot in the Conference League. However, at that time, they had the goal-scoring Toney in their lineup. Ivan was caught in betting violations and was severely punished, leaving him without a game until the New Year. He will return in a few days, but will he maintain his goal-scoring form after a prolonged absence? Do the rumors of interest from top clubs distract him? The striker's goals will help, as Thomas Frank's team has mostly been losing lately. They ended five out of six recent matches with defeats, except for a 3-1 victory against the newcomer, Luton.

Wolverhampton looks better than expected. A year ago, the Wolves were at the bottom of the table, and Lopetegi, who was persuaded to move to Foggy Albion at the end of 2022, barely managed to pull them to safety. However, he did not stay for the new season, probably deciding that, given the number of sales, the task of avoiding the Championship would be too challenging. O'Neil took over just a couple of days before the start of the Premier League, and it's not surprising that it took time to get used to the players, resulting in many losses for the team. However, by mid-autumn, they clearly improved their game, managing to climb into the middle of the table. They confirmed their decent class by defeating Chelsea in the pre-Christmas evening.
Wolves won 4 out of the last 7 direct encounters with a single defeat. In the last three, they collected 7 points. The game promises to be entertaining, expecting goals from both sides - we anticipate a total over 2.5 goals.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 scored goals.
