Brentford spent a lot of time bouncing between the lower divisions, but they finally broke through in the 2020/21 season when they got promoted. Since then, they've represented the Premier League for three years with some decent results. They did well in the Championship last year, finishing in ninth place and winning the European Cup. Over the summer, the team was pretty quiet on the transfer market, only making one big signing: forward Igor Thiago. During preseason, they played four games: a 5:2 win over Wimbledon, a 1:1 draw with Benfica and Watford, and a 1:3 loss to Estrela.
Wolfsburg
Wolfsburg is an average Bundesliga team that moved to the top division in 1997 and has never been relegated since. The Wolves made a big splash once when they won the national championship 2009. However, they finished in eighth place the following year, and then they continued to show the usual results. In the last championship, the visitors finished in 12th place overall. Over the off-season, the German club didn't make any significant transfers. They brought Polish goalkeeper Kamil Grabara and Algerian Mohamed Amoura to strengthen the attack. In the summer, Wolfsburg beat Lille 1:0, drew with Como 0:0, and lost to Anderlecht and Hannover 1:2 and 2:3.
Expert Betting Tips
Brentford and Wolfsburg haven't been able to put together many good results lately. Last season, both teams ended up at the bottom of the standings. During the preseason, they only won once in four friendlies. On the other hand, the favorites are still the Bees, who participate in a more competitive English championship. They're also playing at their home stadium, which is an advantage for them. Brentford is a solid offensive team, but they have significant defensive issues. The stats back this up. In the last 38 rounds of the Premier League, the hosts scored and conceded 121 goals (3.18 per game). That's a lot for that many games. Wolfsburg have conceded at least two goals in four of their last six matches, so they'll have their work cut out on defense.
