Monday Night Football in the Premier League sees European chasing Brentford take on a battling but still Championship-bound Wolves to the Gtech.
Brentford were beaten on penalties by West Ham in the fifth round of the FA Cup but remain in the top seven of the Premier League — not too far off the Champions League spots and very much in the hunt for either Europa League or Europa Conference League football next season.
Wolves have put in some real fighting performances of late with back-to-back home victories against Aston Villa and Liverpool. Rob Edwards’ visitors have suffered just five defeats in their last 15 matches across all competitions.
Can Brentford continue their push for Europe or will Wolves keep the greatest of all escapes alive? The Sporting News brings you betting tips and predictions for this Premier League clash.
Brentford vs. Wolves Preview: Who Will Win?
Brentford have to be favoured to get over the line in West London tonight, even against a fighting Wolves side.
The Bees have been extremely impressive under the management of Keith Andrews this season and they are in a strong position despite a hectic summer.
Wolves are showing fight and will make it awkward for the Bees. They may bloody the nose of their hosts but Brentford should still come out on top.
Score Prediction: Brentford 2-1 Wolves (8/1 with Bet365)

Igor Thiago has been quieter in the league of late but the Brazilian remains one of the most clinical strikers in the Premier League this season.
Fresh off two goals in the cup, his presence up-front could prove pivotal in a close game. We’re backing Thiago to score the last goal in the game (3/1 with Bet365).
