Sports Mole previews Saturday's Championship clash between Brentford and Wycombe Wanderers, including predictions, team news and possible lineups.

Brentford play host to Wycombe Wanderers on Saturday afternoon looking to extend their unbeaten record in the Championship to 18 matches.

Meanwhile, the visitors head into this contest sitting 10 points adrift of safety, albeit with two games in hand on 21st-placed Derby County.


Match preview

Having not performed to their best against Luton Town and Leicester City, Brentford boss Thomas Frank would have regarded Wednesday's trip to Swansea City as a test of character.

Frank and his players left the Liberty Stadium feeling frustrated after allowing their hosts to claim a share of the spoils, despite having a man advantage during the closing stages.

Nevertheless, the result extended Brentford's outstanding run of form in the Championship, as well as keeping them within two points of their second-placed opponents.

Now that they shaken off any lack of match fitness, Frank will expect his players to kick on over the coming weeks, particularly when faced with fixtures such as the one at the weekend.

Despite netting 16 times in the Championship this season, Ivan Toney has not scored in his seven appearances in all competitions.

As a result of a number of coronavirus cases, Wycombe have not featured in a Championship fixture since their 3-1 reverse against Middlesbrough on January 2.

While Gareth Ainsworth would have taken the positives from his team's FA Cup performances against Preston North End and Tottenham Hotspur, he will acknowledge that having to play catch-up has made survival in this division even tougher.

Despite being heavy underdogs to claim anything against Brentford, there is pressure on the Chairboys to eat into their 10-point deficit as soon as possible.

With Rotherham United and Derby County showing signs of improvement, Ainsworth will demand that his players show the level of performance which earned them a draw at this ground in the EFL Cup in September.

Team News

Tariqe Fosu-Henry is likely to come back into the Brentford XI after getting on the scoresheet at Swansea.

Saman Ghoddos could also be included in midfield, potentially as a replacement for Mathias Jensen.

Scott Kashket may be drafted back into the Wycombe side, but Adebayo Akinfenwa is likely to be named among the replacements.

Garath McCleary is also in contention for the visitors, while Darius Charles could feature with Joe Jacobson suffering with a groin injury.

Brentford possible starting lineup:
Raya; Dalsgaard, Pinnock, Sorensen, Henry; Dasilva, Janelt, Ghoddos; Mbuemo, Toney, Fosu-Henry

Wycombe Wanderers possible starting lineup:
Allsop; Grimmer, Charles, Knight, McCarthy; Bloomfield, Thompson; Wheeler, McCleary, Onyedinma; Kashket


We say: Brentford 3-0 Wycombe Wanderers

Wycombe showed against Spurs that the enforced break may benefit the squad in the long run. Nevertheless, it is difficult to back any second-tier side against Brentford right now, and we expect the Bees to ease to victory with minimal fuss on Saturday afternoon.
