Brentford vs Wolves – Match preview and team news | OneFootball

Brentford return to the Gtech Community Stadium on Monday night looking to solidify their grip on seventh place as they host a rejuvenated, yet basement-dwelling, Wolverhampton Wanderers.

The Bees arrive in West London after a heartbreaking penalty shootout exit in the FA Cup, but their league form remains an inspiration for the Gtech faithful. Under Keith Andrews, who recently committed his future to the club until 2032, Brentford have moved into seventh place, currently sitting four points clear of the chase for potential European spots.

Boasting the Premier League’s highest shot conversion rate at 14.5%, the Bees have become one of the division’s most clinical outfits. They now enter a favourable run of fixtures and will be eager to complete a league double over Wolves for the first time in a decade.

Wolves, meanwhile, travel to the capital as the league’s bottom club but with a growing sense of belief under Rob Edwards. Since the turn of the year, Wolves have looked like a transformed side, having won their last two Premier League games against heavyweights Liverpool and Aston Villa.

While they sit 12 points adrift of safety, a third consecutive win tonight would make them the first team since Leicester City in 2015 to achieve such a feat while starting each matchday bottom of the table. Edwards has traded pressing intensity for a more rigid defensive structure, leading to a “cup final” atmosphere for every remaining game.

Brentford vs Wolves – Match preview and team news

Team News

Brentford

Keith Andrews manages a squad still missing several key defensive figures. Rico Henry and Aaron Hickey are both sidelined with significant hamstring injuries, while Vitaly Janelt and Josh Dasilva remain out. Notably, Reiss Nelson has returned to training and faces a late assessment to determine his involvement. Igor Thiago remains the primary attacking threat, having made more off-the-ball runs into the opposition box (151) than any other player in the league this season.

Wolves

Rob Edwards is “really hopeful” that goalkeeper José Sá will be available after training this week following an ankle issue. Midfield anchor André is set to return from suspension, while Yerson Mosquera and Hugo Bueno are expected to reclaim their starting spots in the backline. Notably, Rodrigo Gomes continues to be a “super-sub” to watch, with 80% of his Premier League goals coming from the bench.

Form

Brentford

Brentford sit comfortably in 7th place with 44 points, having won four of their last six matches, though they arrive looking to bounce back from a 2-2 FA Cup draw that ended in penalty heartbreak. The Bees have been dominant inside the area, with a league-high 98% of their goals coming from inside the box. Despite losing two of their last three at home, they remain one of the most efficient sides in the final third.

Wolves

Wolves remain bottom of the table with 16 points, but head to London in their best form of the season following back-to-back 2-1 and 2-0 victories over Liverpool and Aston Villa. Under Rob Edwards, they have improved to 10th in a hypothetical league table based solely on 2026 results. While they average the joint-fewest shots per game, they boast the fourth-best shooting accuracy in the division.

Predicted Lineups

Brentford Predicted XI (4-2-3-1): Kelleher; Kayode, Ajer, Van den Berg, Lewis-Potter; Henderson, Yarmolyuk; Ouattara, Jensen, Schade; Thiago

Wolves Predicted XI (3-4-2-1): Sa; Doherty, S. Bueno, Krejci; Tchatchoua, J. Gomes, Andre, Wolfe; Mane, A. Gomes; Armstrong
