Wolves will be looking to build on their last win in the Premier League this weekend when they take on Brentford. The early kickoff schedule for Saturday afternoon at Molineux with kickoff at 2:30 pm.
Bruno Lage’s registered his first win in the Premier League with a 2- 0 win over Watford. On the other hand, Brentford fell for a disappointing 1-0 loss to Brighton last weekend.
It was a disappointing start to the season for Wolves while suffering a 1-0 loss to Leicester City. Afterward, the side fell for the same scoreline in their clash with Tottenham. Bruno Lages found a bit of hope in the EFL Cup with a 4-0 win over Nottingham Forest.
The newfound hope became short-lived after Manchester United nicked off a second-half goal to end a goalless stalemate with a 1-0 loss. The loss was a bitter pill to swallow for Bruno Lages after putting a high attacking form against the Red Devils.
However, their disappointing start took a cool down with a 2-0 win over Watford. Therefore, Wolves have three points in the opening four Premier League matches. In addition, Wolves are unbeaten in their last four matches against Brentford.
On the other hand, a Leandro Trossard last-minute goal denied Brentford, picking four points to climb into the top half. The last time the Bees won a match against Wolves was back in 2016.
