If you're looking for a thrilling, nail-biter of a football match, well, this might not be it. Wolverhampton, bless their hearts, haven't had a good run as of late, and it is already giving the bookies a headache, I'm sure. And no, I'm not making this up, Wolverhampton are dragging a discouraging 0-1-5 record behind them, and frankly, they're not out-kicking their coverage in recent performances either.
Between the two teams, we have some noteworthy performers. On the Brentford side, we've got Bryan Mbeumo, delivering 2 goals this season with a commendable 80.4% accuracy rate. Christian Nørgaard needs a shout out as well, delivering sharp passes with an accuracy of 91.3%. Here's hoping their keeper Mark Flekken, sporting a healthy 7.47 keeper rating, can suppress the Wolves' growl.
As for the Wolves, they've got some sharp shooters as well. Matheus Cunha, with a goal under his belt this season and a passing accuracy of 81.6%, is a player to watch. Yerson Mosquera is also standing his ground well with an impressive 89.9% accuracy pass rate. Their goalie Sam Johnstone, though not as impressive as Mark Flekken, holds decent stats with an average rating of 6.80.
However, the Wolves might still have an uphill battle against Brentford, their past ghosts coming back to haunt them. When we look back to their past meetings, seems like Brentford has been left in the dust with Wolverhampton winning both the games.
But don’t be too fast to place your bets. Just because history says one thing, doesn’t mean the future can’t be different, right? Giving Wolverhampton's current state, Brentford might just have a chance to turn the tide.
