Brentford continue to defy expectations as they push for European football for the first time in their 137-year history.
Brentford vs Wolves
This Monday evening sees a clash of fortunes in the Premier League as high-flying Brentford, currently occupying seventh place in the league standings, welcome bottom-of-the-table Wolves to the Gtech Community Stadium. The match is scheduled to kick off at 8:00 PM GMT on March 16th, 2026, with the home side looking to solidify their European ambitions against a Wolves outfit desperately seeking to salvage points.
Brentford vs Wolves Form & Head-to-Head
The Bees enter this fixture on the back of a disappointing FA Cup exit, having lost to West Ham on penalties after a 2-2 draw in their most recent outing. Despite that cup setback, the London side's Premier League form has been respectable, with their last six league matches yielding three wins, two draws, and just one defeat, placing them fourth in the form table over that period.
In contrast despite seeing a turn around in form, the visitors suffered a 3-1 defeat away to Liverpool in their last FA Cup fixture. Their league form has been better, over the last six matches, they have managed two wins and two draws from six outings. Their recent league results include a 2-1 home loss to Liverpool, a 2-0 home defeat to Aston Villa, and a 1-0 loss at Crystal Palace. Wolves have failed to win any of their away matches in the Premier League, highlighting their struggles on the road.
The most recent encounter between these two sides saw Brentford secure a comfortable 2-0 away victory against Wolves in the Premier League on December 20th, 2025. This result continues a strong trend for the Bees, who boast an impressive record against their upcoming opponents. Over these six meetings, the Londoners have secured three victories, with two matches ending in a draw, and only one loss.

Brentford vs Wolves Team News
Brentford face a number of injury concerns ahead of this crucial league fixture. Carvalho, Dasilva, Milambo, Janelt, and Hickey are all confirmed absentees due to injury. Additionally, Henry and Nelson are listed as doubtful, which could further stretch the home side's squad depth. Keane Lewis-Potter is expected to deputise at left-back in the absence of Henry.
For the visitors, the main concern is the suspension of André, who is serving a two-match ban for accumulating ten bookings. This will likely see Angel Gomes partner Joao Gomes in the midfield. Apart from André's absence, the Wanderers have no other reported concerns.
Brentford vs Wolves Match Prediction
Brentford have not been at their best in recent weeks, edging past Burnley courtesy of a stoppage-time goal before drawing at Bournemouth.
The Bees still remain in seventh place and will fancy their chances of getting three points here despite just one goal and no wins at home in the last two months.
Wolves have continued their impressive revival in the second half of the season with consecutive home wins over Aston Villa and Liverpool moving them within 12 points of safety.
Rob Edwards' side still look Championship bound, but recent results suggest they can clearly be a match for anyone on their day.
