There is plenty of footballing entertainment on the 27th December, and it doesn’t get much better than a mid-table clash from a betting perspective. 13th-placed Brentford are hosting 14th-placed Wolves at the Gtech Community Stadium for one of the two 7:30pm kick-offs.
This game has always been an exciting one. Over the last two seasons, each game played between these two has always contained plenty of goals, corners, bookings, and shots. Last time this fixture was played at Brentford there were seven bookings.
One of these came inside the first 40 seconds where Nelson Semedo clattered into Brentford’s left-midfielder to stop an early attack. There was also a last-minute red card awarded against Diego Costa for headbutting a Brentford defender. Standard day at the office for Costa.

⚽ Goals and Goalscorer stats: Both to score and Wissa to step up in place of Mbeumo
Both Brentford and Wolves have seen a both teams to score bet land a lot this season. The hosts have had 10 of their Premier League games see both teams score. As for Wolves, 13 of their opening 18 games have seen both sides find their names on the scoresheet.
Naturally, both teams have been averaging high numbers of goals scored and conceded. Brentford have been averaging 1.41 goals for and 1.41 goals against. Bryan Mbeumo has been Brentford’s main man in front of goal so far, with 10 goal contributions to his name, but with him out injured, the next best available player is Yoane Wissa, who has four.
As for the visitors, they have been averaging 1.25 goals for and 1.46 goals against. Hwang Hee-Chan has been their main goal threat, with the attacker having 10 goal contributions so far.
Given the strong likelihood of both teams scoring in this fixture, there is also value to be found in the match goals markets.
Brentford’s main danger man, Mbeumo, limped off during a match against Brighton at the start of this month. What’s even more of a kick in the teeth for Brentford fans is that Mbeumo managed to score before being subbed. He is now predicted to be out for at least 3 months with an ankle injury.
Yoane Wissa is likely to be the man to step up in his place. He has four goal contributions thus far, but has been performing well since Mbeumo’s absence. He is now playing slightly more centrally in attack, giving him more chances.
He managed two shots on target against Sheffield United, and one against Villa. In fact, he has now had at least one shot on target in three of his last five games, as well as at least two shots in three of his last five.
Predictions:
⚽ Both teams to score @ 1.75
⚽ Over 2.5 goals @ 1.85
⚽ Yoane Wissa to score anytime @ 3.25
⚽ Yoane Wissa to score or assist @ 2.25
🛑 Fouls stats: Wolves rank top for number of fouls committed
No team has committed a higher average number of fouls per game than Wolves this season (13.10). There are plenty of candidates to pick from when picking Wolves players for a foul, but three in particular stand out.
Nelson Semedo has been averaging 1.63 fouls per game so far this season, and has now committed at least one foul in each of his last five games. He is likely to be defending against Keane Lewis-Potter, who has won a high average of 1.74 fouls per game so far this Premier League campaign.
Max Kilman, playing as a right-sided centre back, has been averaging 1.00 foul per game. He has also committed at least one foul in four of his last five, fouling twice in two of those. He is a value selection to foul at 1.62.
Finally, Matheus Cunha. The forward has committed a foul in four of his last five appearances for Wolves. Furthermore, the last time he played against Brentford, Cunha fouled four times.
