Brentford Preview – Can the Bees bounce back with a much-needed win?
On the whole, Thomas Frank’s Brentford have had an excellent season. The Bees have racked up an impressive 57 points from 31 games, winning 16 times along the way. The Londoners are currently in second spot in the Championship table.
However, for one reason or another, Brentford have had a disastrous last couple of weeks. Since a 3-1 win at Reading on 10th February, Frank’s side have crashed to three consecutive Championship losses. After losing at home to Barnsley, Brentford have been beaten by Queens Park Rangers and Coventry City.
After Brentford’s alarming dip in form, Norwich City have moved seven points clear at the top of the Championship table. Also, in-form Watford are now level on points with the Bees, while Swansea City, who have two games in hand, are just a point behind. Brentford need to get back to winning ways as soon as possible.
Sheffield Wednesday Preview – Owls to fall to a fourth loss in five?
Sheffield Wednesday are still looking for a permanent replacement manager after Tony Pulis was sacked. However, Neil Thompson has done a fine job as interim boss, guiding the Owls to five wins from nine Championship games.
Wednesday have struggled in recent weeks, though, losing three of their last four. As a result, the Owls have slipped back down to 23rd place, three points away from safety. With Luton Town and Rotherham United to come in their next two, these are crucial times for the Sheffield club.

Brentford vs Sheffield Wednesday Betting Advice
Brentford left Hillsborough with a narrow 2-1 win when the teams met back in October. Ivan Toney was the hero, netting either side of a Callum Paterson goal to give the Bees a priceless away win. At Griffin Park last season, Brentford put five past the Owls in a five-star display.
Key Facts – Brentford vs Sheffield Wednesday Betting Tip
- Brentford have won their last two against Sheffield Wednesday, scoring seven goals to boot
- The Bees have lost three Championship games in a row
- Wednesday have suffered three defeats in their past four games
With Norwich starting to pull away at the top, while the chasing pack begin to close the gap, no less than three points will do for Brentford this Wednesday. With the Owls languishing at the wrong end of the table, they also need the points. However, we fancy the Bees to get back to winning ways in style. You can get 4/1 for the hosts to win -2.
Brentford may be second in the table, but Frank’s boys do not keep many clean sheets. Therefore, back the home win and both teams to score at 13/5.
