Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Brentford Prediction
Wolverhampton Wanderers have played some wonderful football so far, but have little to show for it. Bruno Lage's men have registered only one win in four league games, despite some blistering moments from the likes of Francisco Trincao and Adama Traore. Hwang Hee-chan's arrival should help their attack as well.
38 - Adama Traoré has completed 38 dribbles in the Premier League this season for @Wolves (9.8 per 90 minutes), which is more than 10 Premier League sides have completed in total. Force. https://t.co/EpdOsbZQu6
Brentford, on the other hand, have done well so far since their promotion. The Bees have shown that they are no pushovers, with a strong performance against Arsenal highlighting their qualities.
Wolves have been extremely good to watch this season, and arguably deserve more. They should be able to win here.
Prediction: Wolverhampton Wanderers 2-1 Brentford
