  • Wolves remain rooted to the bottom with just two points from 16 games

  • Brentford are unbeaten on their last two visits to Molineux

  • Recommended bet: Draw

It is beginning to look like a matter of when rather than if Wolves will be relegated, with Wanderers still searching for their first win of the season.

Rob Edwards' men did put in a much-improved display at leaders Arsenal last weekend, but a stoppage-time goal condemned them to a 2-1 defeat at the Emirates.

Brentford have failed to win any of their last four in all competitions and their away form will be a concern for boss Keith Andrews.

The Bees have won just one Premier League game on the road, at West Ham back in October, and no wins in their last three league matches has seen them slip to 15th.

Team News

Wolves look set to be without two key players who impressed in defeat at Arsenal, with Emmanuel Agbadou and Jackson Tchatchoua heading off to the African Cup of Nations.

Last Saturday’s trip to the capital was only the fifth time Wanderers had started with Jacob Strand Larsen and Hwang Hee-Chan up front.

The pair could be given the chance to form a partnership again, with Strand Larsen scoring in last season’s 5-3 defeat at Brentford.

The visitors have also lost key players to AFCON, with forward Dango Ouatarra and defender Frank Onyeka hoping to impress for Burkina Faso and Nigeria in the upcoming tournament.

Andrews revealed that both Igor Thiago and Jordan Henderson picked up knocks in the draw with Leeds and both are being assessed.

Kevin Schade was suspended for the clash at the Emirates, but is available to return on Saturday.

The stats

Wolves have scored more than one goal in just two of their 16 league games.

Both teams have found the net in five of the last six meetings between the two sides.

Just six of Brentford’s 22 Premier League goals have come away from home.

Wolves' only point at Molineux came in a 1-1 draw with Brighton in early October.

Brentford have collected seven points from their last three league games with Wolves.

Prediction

This game finished in a 1-1 draw last season and it would not be a surprise to see a share of the spoils again this weekend.

Wolves' display at Arsenal was much improved, but the absence of key players will make it tough to back that up with their first win.

Brentford’s hopes may rest on whether Thiago is fit enough to feature, with the striker currently the league’s second top goalscorer with 11 goals.

The Bees have failed to score in their last three away games in all competitions and are a far more potent team with the Brazilian up front.

Despite their wretched form overall this season, Wolves can earn a battling point.
