Brentford VS Wolves live preview FA Cup

Brentford：

Brentford currently sit 16th in the league table with 19 points. The team are starting to feel the pressure of a potential relegation battle as they sit just four points above 18th-placed Luton Town. Manager Thomas Frank's New Year's resolution is to unite his team and end their recent woes as quickly as possible. However, success against Wolves in the FA Cup could prove challenging for Brentford. They have progressed just once in their last 16 games against top-flight opponents. Brentford has struggled in the FA Cup, including losing 1-0 at home to West Ham United in the third round last season. Going into Friday's game, they had won just one of their last nine games against Wolves in all competitions. Additionally, they have failed to win in their first five games at home during this period.

Wolves：

While Wolves are unbeaten in their last eight games at Molineux, their away form has been more challenging. They have won just twice in their last nine away games in all competitions. It’s worth noting that one of those wins came in their most recent away game against Brentford. In the previous third round rematch of last season's FA Cup, Wolves lost 0-1 at home to Liverpool. If they lose to Brentford this season, Wolves will be eliminated at the same stage in succession, the first time they have faced such a setback in fifty years.

Analysis：：

Brentford have suffered a dip in form recently, with several key players missing through injury. Notable absentees include Brian Mbuemo (ankle), Rico Henry (knee), Aaron Hickey (thigh), Kevin Schad (adductor), Josh DaSilva (hamstring), Christopher Ayer and Shanton Baptiste (both returning from foot issues). Additionally, prolific forward Ivan Toney remains suspended but is expected to return to action later this month. As for Wolves, their top scorer Hwang Hee-chan scored twice in the recent game against Brentford and is currently playing away in the Asian Cup on behalf of South Korea. In addition, Rayan Ait-Nouri and Boubacar Traore are participating in the Africa Cup of Nations with Algeria and Mali respectively, further reducing Wolves' squad depth.

Strakosha; Jorgensen, Pinnock, Collins; Roerslev, Onyeka, Norgaard, Jensen, Ghoddos; Lewis-Potter, Wissa
