Brentford are aiming to win three successive meetings with Wolves for the first time since 1986.
Both of these two teams have exceeded expectations this season, so who will conclude the campaign with a victory? Brentford kick off in ninth place, albeit their slim European hopes all but came to an end last Sunday, beaten 3-2 by West London rivals Fulham, despite leading until late on through, who else, Bryan Mbeumo and then Yoane Wissa.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Brentford preview
Prior to this, Thomas Frank's team had enjoyed four successive Premier League victories, the first time the Bees had achieved this in the top division since October 1945. Now though, for Brentford to sneak into eighth, they must win here and hope Brighton are beaten at Tottenham simultaneously.
As for Wolverhampton Wanderers, they enjoyed a six-match winning streak, their longest in the top flight since 1970, albeit have suffered three successive defeats since. On Tuesday, the Old Gold were beaten 4-2 at Crystal Palace; Emmanuel Agbadou and Jørgen Strand Larsen on target in vain.
Nevertheless, Vítor Pereira's popularity in the Black Country remains high, having comfortably guided Wolves to safety, currently 14th, a whopping 16 points clear of the drop zone. Wolves have also won four of their last six home games against Brentford, so will they collect three points at Molineux?

Vítor Pereira rotated his team at Selhurst on Tuesday, making six changes, handing rare starts to third-choice goalkeeper Dan Bentley as well as Nasser Djiga, Rodrigo Gomes, Jean-Ricner Bellegarde and Gonçalo Guedes. It'll be interesting to see if he goes stronger this time, and will Matheus Cunha feature, given that he's highly likely to leave Wolves after this match?

Thomas Frank has named an unchanged lineup for each of Brentford's last five matches, which had proved to be the winning formulae, prior to last Sunday's defeat.

Brentford predicted lineup vs Wolverhampton Wanderers: (4-3-3): Flekken; Ajer, Collins, van den Berg, Lewis-Potter; Nørgaard, Yarmolyuk, Damsgaard; Mbeumo, Wissa, Schade.
