On Friday night, at 19:45, Brentford and WBA meet in the 39th round of the Championship, the second league in England. The game at Griffin Park will be very difficult for the hosts, although the “wasps” start as favorites in front of the Midlands band.
It is a quality match, between two teams that want to play in the Premier League next season. WBA is in 1st place in the Championship (goal average 64-37), tied for points with Leeds. Both now seem confident of their place leading directly to the first league. Brentford is on the 4th place in the ranking (goal difference 66-33) and fights with Nottingham and Fulham for a better place in the play-off.
Ollie Watkins, who has 22 successes at Brentford this season, will also be on the field. With him on the attack, the hosts have reason to hope for success with the leader, who comes to attack through Hal-Robson Kanu, Phillips and Charlie Austin. Also at Brentford there are scorers such as Mbeumo (14 seasonal successes) or Benrahma (11 goals). These are all the prerequisites for a spectacular match on Friday!
In the first match since the resumption of the competitions, Brentford defeated Fulham 2-0, thanks to the goals scored by Benrahma and Marcondes, in the last five minutes of the game. Before the suspension of the championship, Brentford made an exciting 5-0 with Sheffield Wednesday. WBA comes after a 0-0 in the local derby with Birmingham, a match in which neither team impressed.
In the round it was 1-1 at West Bromwich Albion, score set from the break;
In the last three direct duels, less than three goals have been scored each time;
WBA is without victory in the last 4 official matches and has scored in only one of them;
Brentford has not beaten the WBA in four straight straight duels;
The WBA has 8 wins and 8 home draws, while Brentford has 8 away wins;
PREDICTION: Both teams to score / YES @ 1,72
