Wolves vs Brentford

Brentford head to Wolverhampton Wanderers on the final day of the Premier League, eyeing a potential Conference League qualification spot.

Wolves suffered a loss at Crystal Palace midweek, while Brentford aim to bounce back after a defeat to West London rivals Fulham in their last match.

With the Conference League and Champions League finals approaching next week, plus the Club World Cup in June, there are plenty of opportunities to place those free bets.

After an impressive streak of six consecutive Premier League wins from mid-March to late April, Wolves’ form has plummeted, with the Black Country side failing to earn a single point in their three May fixtures.

Their latest setback came at Crystal Palace’s vibrant Selhurst Park on Tuesday, where Eddie Nketiah’s brace, combined with goals from Ben Chilwell and FA Cup hero Eberechi Eze, handed the Europa League-bound Eagles a convincing 4-2 victory.

Despite Wolves’ recent struggles, Jorgen Strand Larsen has been a bright spot, scoring in the second half at Selhurst Park. The towering Norwegian has netted 14 Premier League goals this season, including seven since March began.

Vitor Pereira’s squad sits 16th in the home points standings, but they’ve shown recent strength at Molineux, winning three of their last four home games, including a notable victory over European champions Tottenham Hotspur last month.

Leading Wolves’ Golden Boot race by one goal over Strand Larsen, Matheus Cunha is likely to play his final Molineux match on Sunday, with the Brazilian international linked to a summer move to clubs like Manchester United.

While Wolves are playing for pride in the West Midlands, Brentford have a chance to achieve something special. A win against Pereira’s side on matchday 38 could secure them a Conference League spot.

Currently ninth in the Premier League, Brentford could climb to eighth with a victory at Molineux, provided Brighton & Hove Albion lose to Tottenham Hotspur, who are likely celebrating their biggest moment in 17 years.

Brentford’s hopes of a top-eight finish slipped out of their control after a 3-2 loss to Fulham last Sunday, with Tom Cairney and Harry Wilson scoring in the second half at the Gtech Community Stadium.

In that match, Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa both found the net, bringing their Premier League tallies to 19 goals each. The Brentford pair are on track to potentially become the first duo from the same club to score 20+ goals in a season since Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane in 2018-19.

Thomas Frank’s side should feel optimistic about securing a positive result at Molineux, given their strong recent away form, having collected seven points from their last three trips to Arsenal, Nottingham Forest, and Ipswich Town.
