One of the matches in the 7th round of the English Championship will take place on Saturday at the Brentford Community Arena in London, where Brentford will host Wolverhampton. Here’s a prediction for this matchup from the Sportsmacro experts.
Brentford
Brentford continues to showcase its typical level of play this season. The “Bees” have consistently avoided relegation battles in recent years, but they also struggle to contend for European Cup places, currently sitting in the middle of the table.
At the start of the new championship, the “red-blacks” made a strong showing, securing victories over Crystal Palace (2-1) and Southampton (3-1), along with a draw against West Ham (1-1). However, defeats to Liverpool (0-2), Manchester City (1-2), and Tottenham (1-3) have left the team with seven points, placing them in 12th position in the standings.
Wolverhampton
Wolverhampton, on the other hand, continues to lose ground in English football. A few years ago, the “Black and Orange” were competing for European Cup spots, but now they find themselves at risk of relegation from the Premier League.

Brentford vs Wolverhampton Prediction
Considering the current form of both teams, Brentford appears to be the favorite for the upcoming match.
