Brentford were tipped for relegation. Now they are aiming for Europe

The Story So Far

Brentford have emerged as genuine contenders for continental qualification despite pre-season forecasts suggesting a struggle against the drop. After losing their previous head coach, skipper, regular shot-stopper, and most prolific goal-scorers during the summer, the club has exceeded expectations under Keith Andrews. They currently occupy seventh place with only nine matches remaining, positioned closely behind the established elite. This run puts the Bees on track to surpass their highest-ever points tally in the top flight. If they maintain this form, they will secure European football for the first time in their history, marking a significant historical milestone for the West London side.
