Wolverhampton Wanderers vs. Brentford: Premier League Preview, Team News, Stats & Head-to-Head
Keane Lewis-Potter's double strike in the second half propelled Brentford to a 2-0 victory over Wolves, marking his first Premier League goals since January. This triumph lifted Brentford to 12th place, 10 points above the relegation zone, while Wolves' 10-game losing streak continues, threatening their record for the most consecutive top-flight defeats.
The match saw Wolves' Jorgen Strand Larsen miss a late penalty, which was saved by Caoimhin Kelleher, further exacerbating their struggles. Wolves' poor performance extended their winless streak to 17 games, matching Sheffield United's record from the 2020-21 season, and they now sit 14 points adrift of safety.
With just two points, Wolves are on the brink of relegation, matching Derby's record low. Manager Rob Edwards' side faces a challenging end to the year, with upcoming matches against Liverpool and Manchester United.
Keane Lewis-Potter's goals were pivotal, scoring from 10 yards after a defensive error and sealing the win with a clever finish. Brentford's manager, Keith Andrews, has guided the team to a stable position, 10 points clear of the bottom three, despite initial doubts about his managerial prowess.
Andrews' efficient tactics and patient approach have paid off, as Brentford remains competitive in mid-table. The team's success has allowed Andrews to adapt and grow into his role, with Brentford just three points behind Crystal Palace in sixth place.
Looking ahead, Wolves must address their poor form and avoid a record-breaking relegation, while Brentford continues to build on their recent wins and challenge for a higher league position.
