Wolves vs. Brentford: Preview, Predictions and Lineups | OneFootball

Brentford have an extremely slim chance of qualifying for Europe this weekend when they visit Wolverhampton Wanderers in Premier League Gameweek 38.

The Bees are currently ninth but could qualify for the Europa Conference League if they rise to eighth this Sunday. To achieve that they need to beat Wolves and hope Brighton & Hove Albion lose to Tottenham Hotspur, while also requiring Chelsea or Newcastle to finish seventh. If the Blues were to finish seventh, Brentford would also need them to win the Conference League final against Real Betis on Wednesday evening.

An unlikely set of circumstances could be snuffed out by Wolves, who would ruin Brentford’s day should they deny Thomas Frank’s side victory. The Old Gold have lost their last three Premier League matches, however, and have nothing riding on their final day clash other than pride and retaining 14th place.

Here’s Sports Illustrated’s guide to the game.

Brentford will be missing Vitaly Janelt, Fábio Carvalho and Josh Dasilva for the journey to the Midlands but Frank has revealed that Aaron Hickey, who has been missing since October 2023, will be part of the matchday squad on Sunday.

It could be the final Brentford outing for Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa, with Frank having admitted that the prolific duo could leave the club for bigger and better things this summer. They will want to bow out on a high.

Wolves vs. Brentford Score Prediction

Eight goals graced the reverse fixture and Sunday could be another high-scoring affair, with Brentford rarely failing to entertain this season. With victory needed to keep their European dream alive, the Bees will be pushing for all three points from the first kick.

Wolves have been much improved since Vitor Pereira’s arrival but have taken their foot off the gas recently, losing their last three Premier League games. With nothing to play for at Molineux, they might struggle to find enough motivation to conquer the Bees.
