Not a good statistic for the visitors for this second half. Wolves have only scored one goal after half-time this season and conceded the most. Could also mean more goals in this game.

Brentford vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
An entertaining first half at the Gtech Community stadium has treated us to six goals as Brentford lead Wolves 4-2 at the break. A Collins header put the hosts ahead after two minutes but the visitors responded through a close-range Cunha strike. Lemina fouled Collins in the penalty area and after a VAR review the referee gave Brentford a penalty which Mbeumo converted. Wolves once again responded quickly thanks to a Strand Larsen near post finish. Brentford though scored twice more through a low Norgaard finish and a Pinnock header to give themselves a tw-goal advantage going into the second half.
