The FA Cup is set to feature a number of matches tonight, including Brentford FC VS Wolverhampton Wanderers. The Premier League rivals are set to face off against each other tonight as Brentford FC will take on the Wolves at Gtech Community Stadium to play the third-round tie in the FA Cup. Wolverhampton Wanderers are in fantastic form under their new manager Gary O'Neil, who was appointed as the head coach of the Wolves in August, replacing Julen Lopetegui. The Wolves are on a three-match winning streak and will look to extend their winning run when they play against Brentford tonight. However, Wolverhampton already defeated Brentford at Gtech Community Stadium back in December. They smashed the home side by a 4-1 margin in the Premier League encounter. Therefore, tonight's clash is a great opportunity for Brentford to avenge their defeat in the Premier League. But it will surely be very difficult for the Bees to beat Wolverhampton as their losing run continues in the Premier League, losing all their last five games. Can they end their losing streak tonight? Let's see some of the important stats ahead of the match against Wolverhampton.

Stats&Facts

  • As Wolverhampton already won an away game this season against Brentford, a win would see them winning two away games in a row for the first time since the 2002-2003 season.
  • Tonight's game will be the first-ever meeting between the two sides in the FA Cup. However, the two teams faced off against each other in only one cup game, which was Football League Trophy in 1988.
  • Brentford's records in the FA Cup are very poor. They only progressed one from their last 16 FA Cup games against the top-flight teams.

Team News

Brentford have been struggling with several injuries since the start of the season. Bryan Mbuemo, Rico Henry, Aaron Hickey, Kevin Schade, Kristoffer Ajer, and Shandon Baptiste are out of the squad due to their respective injury. Meanwhile, star boy Ivan Tony remains suspended as of now. But the good news is Joshua Dasilva has returned from injury and is available for the selection. As for the Wolves, top scorer Hwang Hee-chan is out of the squad as he is on international duty with South Korea. The visitors will also miss the service of Rayan Ait-Nouri and Boubacar Traore due to the same reason. However, Pedro Neto has returned to the training and could have some minutes tonight against Brentford. Possible Lineup for Brentford: Strakosha; Jorgensen, Pinnock, Collins; Roerslev, Onyeka, Norgaard, Jensen, Ghoddos; Lewis-Potter, Wissa Possible Lineup for Wolverhampton: Bentley; S. Bueno, Kilman, Toti; Doherty, Bellegarde, Gomes, H. Bueno; Sarabia, Cunha; Kalajdzic

Prediction: Brentford 1-3 Wolves

Defense has been a massive concern for Brentford FC. They conceded 10 goals in their last four games in the EPL. They conceded four goals in their most recent game against the Wolves. On the other hand, Wolverhampton Wanderers are in a good rhythm under their new manager. Therefore, we expect the Wolves to win the match in Gtech Community Stadium.
