Locking horns on the final day of the Premier League campaign, Wolverhampton Wanderers and Brentford clash at Molineux on Sunday afternoon.
Wolves have been spared of any relegation worries by a spell of good form across March and April, however they suffered a third straight defeat at Crystal Palace on Tuesday night.
Two days earlier, Brentford’s top-eight hopes were dealt a major blow, with the Bees losing 3-2 at the Gtech Community Stadium to Fulham.
Thomas Frank‘s men currently occupying ninth spot in the Premier League table and need results to go their way on the final day to have any chance of qualifying for the Conference League.

Head-to-head record
Previous meetings: 36
Wolves wins: 17
Draws: 5
Brentford wins: 14
Wolverhampton Wanderers and Brentford have met on just 36 occasions over the course of history, with the Black Country coming out on top in the head-to-head record.
Indeed, Wolves have won this contest 17 times compared to 14 triumphs for the capital club, whilst the honours have been shared on five occasions.
The first meeting between the two sides arrived in a league match in September 1935, when Wolves got the better of Brentford during a five-goal thriller, winning 3-2.
The West London club would respond dramatically to that disappointment on the road later in the same campaign, though, securing a 5-0 victory in the reverse fixture, which remains their biggest margin of success versus the Wanderers.
Brentford dominated the post-war picture against Wolves, winning four straight battles between 1946 and 1986, including a pair of 4-1 scorelines.
Wolverhampton’s longest winning streak in this matchup stands at three league matches spanning from January 1938 until January of the next year.
The two sides have met on seven occasions in the Premier League since Brentford’s promotion in 2018, with the honours shared evenly between the clubs.
Wolves and Brentford have both won three of their most recent top-flight clashes, whilst there was a draw in the fixture at the Gtech Community Stadium in October 2022.
A raucous West London crowd were treated to eight goals when the sides met in October 2024, with defenders Nathan Collins and Ethan Pinnock finding the net during a 5-3 success for the Bees.
