Brentford's hopes of qualifying for Europe are hanging by a thread and they need a win on the road against Wolverhampton Wanderers on the final day of the Premier League to stand any chance of getting over the line.
Eighth place might still be enough to seal a place in the Conference League next term but the Bees trail Brighton by three points heading into their last fixture, although they do have a superior goal difference.
If they end up falling short then Thomas Frank's side will regret throwing away a 2-1 lead against Fulham last weekend.
That 3-2 loss, which saw two bets land for Slips Tips, has left Brentford needing to win at Molineux and hope the Seagulls trip up on the road at Spurs to climb into eighth.
Even that won't be enough if Chelsea drop out of the top five or fail to win the Conference League Final so reaching Europe is a tall order.
But Brentford will still be going all out for a win away to a Wolves side who have little to play for having comfortably dodged the drop.
The Molineux men were in danger of relegation when Vitor Pereira took over from Gary O'Neil but the Portuguese coach has done a terrific job in the Midlands.
He has moved them up to 14th place and Pererira will be looking to sign off for the season with another win as he builds towards next term.
How the bookies view it: Bees with the sting
BoyleSports make Brentford favourites at 13/10 with Frank's side needing to go for the win. Wolves are priced at 7/4 and the draw pays 13/5.

Recent head to head: Wolves baring their teeth
Brentford beat Wolves 5-3 at home in a thriller earlier this season but it's actually the Molineux men who have held the upper hand in this fixture in recent years. In the last 13 meetings, we've seen seven Wolves wins, just three Bees victories and three draws.
Players to watch: Wiss won't miss
Brentford's forwards have been brilliant all season, with Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa both hitting the 20-goal mark for club and country this term. I'm going to plump for Wissa in this game and he's 6/4 at BoyleSports for another goal.
This could be Matheus Cunha's final appearance for Wolves, with the Brazilian likely to be in demand over the summer. He will want to sign off with a goal and is 6/5 at BoyleSports for anytime scorer. He's also a tempting evens at Bet365 for over 1.5 efforts on target.
Probable line-ups
Wolves still have a lot of players crocked with Enso Gonzalez, Sasa Kalajdzic, Yerson Mosquera, Leon Chiwome, Sam Johnstone and Hwang Hee Chan set to miss out again.
Brentford's long injury list has cleared up a bit, although they still have Aaron Hickey, Josh Dasilva, Fabio Carvalho, Vitaly Janelt and Michael Kayode out.
Wolverhampton Wanderers: Sa, Doherty, Agbadou, T Gomes, Ait-Nouri, Andre, J Gomes, Semedo, Munetsi, Strand Larsen, Cunha.
Brentford: Flekken, Van den Berg, Collins, Lewis-Potter, Ajer, Norgaard, Schade, Yarmoliuk, Mbeumo, Damsgaard, Wissa.
Anything else catch the eye?
We saw eight goals when these sides faced off earlier in the season and nine games involving Brentford this term have seen five or more strikes. With the Bees needing to go all out for a win, this should be another thriller.
Combining BTTS and over 2.5 goals only takes you to 3/4 at BoyleSports but BTTS and no draw offers better value at 23/20. I also like over 1.5 first-half goals and that pays 13/10.
With Brentford needing a result more than Wolves, it could pay to back the Bees for most cards at 6/4 with Bet365.
