Brentford will have an opportunity to rebound from back-to-back Premier League defeats on Wednesday evening when they travel to the bet3665 Stadium to battle Championship side Stoke City in the last 16 round of the Carabao Cup.

The Bees were super unlucky to get away empty-handed from their last two Premier League games.

They well deserved to score more than a single goal in total against the likes of Chelsea and Leicester.

Nonetheless, this match against Stoke City should provide Thomas Frank and his troops a nice opportunity to boost up some confidence ahead of the upcoming top-flight challenges.

The Bees have generally been one of the most positive surprises of the season so far in the Premier League. They have conceded just nine goals in nine league outings.

On the other side, we have Stoke City who have been struggling for goals of late. The Potters lost three Championship fixtures on the spin, netting only two goals in the process.

They haven’t scored two or more goals in any of the last five league affairs. We sincerely doubt Michael O’Neill’s men will make it count here against a stern defense of Brentford’s.

周三晚上，布伦特福德将有机会在英超联赛连续败北的情况下重新振作起来，他们将前往3665球场迎战冠军杯16强斯托克城队。

蜜蜂队在上两场英超比赛中空手而归，实在是太不幸了。

在对阵切尔西和莱斯特这样的球队时，他们完全有资格进更多的球。

尽管如此，这场对斯托克城的比赛应该会给弗兰克和他的队伍提供一个很好的机会，在即将到来的顶级挑战前增强一些信心。

到目前为止，蜜蜂队一直是本赛季英超联赛中最积极的惊喜之一。他们在9场联赛中只丢了9个球。

另一方面，我们有斯托克城，他们最近一直在为进球而努力。波特队输掉了三场冠军赛，只进了两个球。

在过去的五次联赛中，他们从未进过两个或两个以上的球。我们真诚地怀疑奥尼尔的球队能否在这里顶住布伦特福德的严厉防守。
