Prediction

Wolverhampton Wanderers

2 : 3

Brentford

After an impressive six-game winning run to confirm their safety, Wolves have now lost their last three following the midweek defeat to Crystal Palace. With nothing to play for, the hosts have taken their foot off the gas for the final weeks of the season.
Brentford, meanwhile, conceded twice in the space of three minutes to lose to west London rivals Fulham last time out. However, the Bees make the trip to Molineux having won seven of their last nine away matches.
Brentford should see out the season with a win in a match where there could be plenty of goals.
