Wolverhampton Wanderers will conclude their Premier League campaign at Molineux against a Brentford side still holding slim hopes of securing European football. With little but pride to play for, Wolves may lack the intensity of their visitors, who remain in the hunt for a possible top-eight finish and qualification for the UEFA Europa Conference League. Managed by Vítor Pereira, the hosts have seen a recent slump in form, while Thomas Frank’s Brentford arrive in the West Midlands determined to finish the season on a high.
Wolves are set to conclude their season with several key players sidelined. Leon Chiwone, Enzo Gonzalez, Yerson Mosquera, and Sasa Kalajdzic are all ruled out through injury. Goalkeeper Sam Johnstone also remains unavailable, and midfielder Tommy Doyle is rated doubtful. The projected starting XI for Wolves under Vítor Pereira’s 3-4-2-1 system is: Sa; Djiga, Agbadou, Toti; R. Gomes, Bellegarde, Andre, Ait-Nouri; Sarabia, Guedes; Strand Larsen.
For Brentford, long-term absentees Vitaly Janelt, Josh Dasilva, and Fabio Carvalho will miss out again. Right-back Aaron Hickey is being assessed for fitness, while Michael Kayode remains doubtful. Thomas Frank is expected to line up his team in a 4-2-3-1 formation: Flekken; Ajer, Collins, Van den Berg, Lewis-Potter; Norgaard, Yarmolyuk; Mbeumo, Damsgaard, Schade; Wissa.
Brentford’s late-season surge suggests they are the side to back in this fixture. Their attacking fluency has been evident, scoring 11 goals in their last five matches, while Wolves have suffered three consecutive defeats, including a 4-2 loss to Crystal Palace in midweek. With Brentford’s motivation to finish eighth and Wolves potentially lacking urgency, a Brentford win with both teams scoring presents significant value.
Recent H2H history supports goals, with the last five encounters averaging over 3.5 goals. Wolves have struggled at Molineux, winning just six of 18 league matches at home this season, and conceding 31 goals in the process. Given their defensive vulnerabilities and Brentford’s current form, the visitors are well poised to end their campaign with a statement win.
This fixture pitches an underperforming Wolves side against a Brentford outfit with tangible targets. The Bees are in their best run of the season and could yet cap it off with European qualification. Thomas Frank has instilled belief and tactical clarity, while Wolves have regressed after early improvements under Pereira.
Brentford’s greater purpose and superior recent form make them favourites, and their energetic, direct style could overwhelm a Wolves backline lacking consistency and confidence. Expect an open game, but Brentford’s finishing edge, especially with Schade in form, should be the difference. Therefore, our Wolves vs Brentford prediction is that
Match Prediction: Brentford to win. Bet with bet365.
The last meeting ended 5-3 in Brentford’s favour, highlighting the potential for goals. While Wolves possess some attacking threat through Guedes and Strand Larsen, Brentford’s attacking unit is more balanced and clinical. With both teams likely to play freely and without inhibition, a repeat of a high-scoring affair is plausible, making our Wolves vs Brentford score prediction Brentford 3-1 Wolves.
Correct Score Prediction: 3-1 to Brentford. Bet with bet365.
Given the attacking intent both sides have shown of late, the Wolves vs Brentford Over/Under goals prediction is that the over 2.5 goals market looks promising. Brentford’s league matches have yielded 121 goals this season, averaging over 3.2 per game, while Wolves’ last five fixtures have seen 22 goals. Both teams are also prone to defensive lapses, especially late in matches.
The pattern of recent H2H results further strengthens the case for goals, with each of the last five matches producing at least three goals. With defences vulnerable and attacks eager to impress on the final day, expect another entertaining contest.
Over/Under Prediction: Over 2.5 Goals. Bet with bet365.
A well-constructed Wolves vs Brentford bet builder for this fixture might include Brentford to win, both teams to score, and Kevin Schade to score anytime. Schade has been in electric form, scoring four goals in his last three appearances, and will be keen to extend that run.
Bet Builder Tip: Brentford to win + Both Teams to Score + Kevin Schade to score anytime. Bet with bet365.
