Alan Shearer anticipated the outcome of Wolves’ visit to Brentford on Saturday afternoon.

Gary O’Neill’s team has faced Arsenal, Chelsea, Newcastle, Aston Villa, and Liverpool in five of their first six matches, which may explain their troubles this season.

Wolves will now go to Brentford on Saturday afternoon, a team that has won two of its Premier League games.

Wolves’ trip to the Gtech Community Stadium presents an opportunity to start strong. While O’Neil does not believe it is a must-win match, it is crucial to secure three points as quickly as possible.

According to Paul Merson, Wolves are certain to win against Brentford this Saturday, as they did last season with a 4-1 triumph thanks to a Hwang Hee-chan brace.

Alan Shearer predicts a Brentford win against Wolves.

O’Neil announced that Santi Bueno and Craig Dawson are fit to start against the Bees despite their separate issues.

Dawson’s experience and expertise in the backline make him an invaluable asset to the Wolves’ defence.

Despite the good news on the injury front, Alan Shearer, the Premier League’s record goalscorer, does not feel the tide will shift for the Wanderers this weekend.

Although he admits it’s a difficult choice, he believes O’Neil’s team will bow to the pressure and finish empty-handed for the sixth time in seven games.

In his weekly Metro predictions, Shearer stated: “This is a tough one to call.” Wolves are under great pressure, and Brentford scored early again last time out, making it three games in a row.

“With the pressure Wolves are under, I believe Brentford will win this one. Brentford are scoring early, which I attribute to solid preparation, warm-ups, and motivation.

“If it happens once or twice you may say it’s a fluke, but if it’s three times, you must look at who and what’s preparing them in the right way, so huge credit to them.”

Wolves can ill afford to surrender early at Brentford.

Brentford’s peculiar kick-off ritual has resulted in three goals in the opening minute this season, including against West Ham, Manchester City, and Tottenham.

It’s a clever technique by Thomas Frank, who understands that teams at the start of the game want to feel their way into the action, but by using a direct approach right away, he’s been able to catch some of his opponents off guard.

To have a chance of winning against Brentford, Wolves cannot afford to fall prey to this ploy and fall behind early.

If they do, O’Neil’s players would face a difficult task in the match, since confidence is already low, and losing in the opening few minutes might be disastrous.

Matheus Cunha is expected to play a major role in securing the team’s first league win.
