[Tips]:
Wolverhampton Wanderers F.C., having not won a single game this season, suffering defeats in all home matches, losing their last 6 consecutive games, and experiencing a complete collapse in both offense and defense, are in a state that can be described as a rare low point in Premier League history.

Any team in need of securing points for survival or advancement would see facing them as an excellent opportunity.

Brentford F.C. happens to be exactly that kind of team. They excel against opponents in the bottom half of the table, and although their away form is weak, facing a nearly defenseless Wolverhampton Wanderers F.C. side presents the perfect chance to break their away-game curse and secure a comfortable victory.

However, considering Wolverhampton Wanderers F.C.'s desperate, all-or-nothing mentality and Brentford F.C.'s own extreme inconsistency in away matches, he possibility of a draw or even a shock first win for Wolverhampton Wanderers F.C. cannot be entirely ruled out.

Coupled with Brentford F.C.'s poor away record, we expect Wolverhampton Wanderers F.C. to earn points at home this time.
