Current streaks

Recent form

Brentford

Brentford's recent form shows a mixed bag of results, with 3 wins, 1 draw, and 2 losses in their last 6 games across all competitions. Their 12th position in the league with 7 points from 6 games suggests a mid-table performance so far. The team has been prolific in front of goal, scoring 10 times in 6 matches for an impressive average of 1.67 goals per game. However, their defense has been somewhat leaky, conceding 8 goals (1.33 per game). Interestingly, both teams have scored in 83% of Brentford's recent matches, indicating exciting, high-scoring affairs. This is further reinforced by the fact that 67% of their games have seen over 2.5 goals. The team's ability to bounce back is evident, as they've followed each of their two recent losses with a win, including a 3-1 victory over Southampton in the Premier League and a 3-1 win against Leyton Orient in the League Cup.

Wolves

Wolves are currently experiencing a concerning run of form, sitting at the bottom of the Premier League table with just one point from six games. They are on a four-game losing streak across all competitions, which includes three Premier League defeats and a League Cup exit. Their last victory came in the League Cup against Burnley, but they've struggled to replicate that success in the league. The team's defensive frailties are evident, conceding an average of 1.83 goals per game, while their attacking output of 1.33 goals per game hasn't been enough to compensate. Notably, 83% of their recent matches have seen both teams score, and 67% have featured over 2.5 goals, indicating high-scoring affairs. The 3-2 loss to Brighton in the League Cup stands out as a particularly goal-rich encounter. Despite these challenges, Wolves have managed to find the net in each of their last five games, showing some offensive consistency amidst their overall struggles.

Recent home/away form

Brentford

Brentford's recent home form shows a promising trend, with the team currently on a three-game winning streak in competitive matches at their home ground. This run includes victories in both the Premier League and League Cup. The Bees have been prolific in front of goal, scoring at least two goals in each of their last five home games. Notably, their match against VfL Wolfsburg ended in a high-scoring 4-4 draw, contributing to an impressive average of 4.17 total goals per game across their last six home fixtures. Brentford's attacking prowess is evident, with 2.33 goals scored per game, but their defense has been somewhat leaky, conceding 1.83 goals per game and failing to keep a clean sheet in this period. The team's ability to find the net is balanced by their tendency to concede, resulting in both teams scoring in 100% of these matches and a remarkable 83% of games featuring over 2.5 goals.

Wolves

Wolves' recent away form has been concerning, with the team on a five-game winless streak on the road, including four losses and one draw. Their last six away matches have seen them concede 14 goals while only scoring 5, highlighting defensive vulnerabilities. Notably, Wolves have failed to keep a clean sheet in any of these games, with their opponents scoring at least two goals in five out of the six matches. The team's goal difference of -9 over this period is particularly worrying. High-scoring affairs include a 3-2 loss to Brighton in the League Cup and a 3-1 defeat to Aston Villa in the Premier League, both of which saw a total of five goals. With both teams scoring in 67% of these games and an average of 3.17 total goals per match, Wolves' away fixtures have been entertaining for neutral fans but frustrating for their supporters.
