Wolverhampton Wanderers will entertain Brentford at Molineux Stadium in their final Premier League match of the 2024-25 campaign on Sunday. A win will help the hosts retain their 14th place in the standings, while the Bees might finish eighth, a place better than their current position with a win here.
The Wolves suffered a third consecutive league defeat on Tuesday as they lost 4-2 away to Crystal Palace. Emmanuel Agbadou scored his first goal of the season in the 24th minute, and Jørgen Strand Larsen, who provided the assist, scored in the second half. Palace scored twice in either half to register a comfortable win.
The visitors saw their unbeaten streak end after six games last week as they suffered a 3-2 home loss to local rivals Fulham. Goals from Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa in the first half helped them overturn a one-goal deficit, but Fulham scored twice after the break to register their first win of the month.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Brentford Prediction
The Wolves have conceded seven goals in three games this month and will look to improve upon that record. They have lost their last two league meetings against the visitors, conceding seven goals.
Sasa Kalajdzic, Sam Johnstone, and Leon Chiwone are long-term absentees, while Yerson Mosquera and Enso Gonzalez Medina are also expected to miss this match. Jorgen Strand Larsen was subbed off with a muscle cramp on Tuesday and will undergo a late fitness test.
The Bees suffered their first defeat since early April last week and will look to conclude their league campaign with a win. Interestingly, they have scored 13 goals in their last five league outings. Notably, they have won seven of their nine away games in 2025.
Vitaly Janelt, Joshua Dasilva, and Fabio Carvalho are confirmed absentees, while Michael Kayode will undergo a late fitness test. Aaron Hickey is fit enough to start here.
Wolves have suffered three consecutive defeats, failing to score in two games in that period. With that in mind, and considering the Bees' away record in 2025, we back the visitors to eke out a narrow win.
