Prediction: Fulham to win 2-1
Best Odds: 13/2
Fulham and Wolverhampton Wanderers will lock horns with each other in the Premier League this weekend. The match between Marco Silva’s side and Gary O’Neil’s team will be held at Craven Cottage and is scheduled to kick off at 3 pm UK time on Saturday.
Fulham
Fulham are a modest club in England who are happy to be just part of the Premier League. They are an established club in the English top flight and are doing extremely well at the moment.
The Cottagers are seventh in the Premier League table with 18 points from 11 matches. Marco Silva’s side are only a point behind fourth-placed and London rivals Arsenal. It is hard to see Fulham end up in the UEFA Champions League places this season, but the Cottagers should fancy a place in the top 10 at least.
Fulham will head into the Premier League match against Wolverhampton Wanderers on the back of a 2-0 victory over Crystal Palace away from home at Selhurst Park in London in the Premier League. It came after a 2-1 win against Brentford at Craven Cottage in London in the league which followed a 1-1 draw with Everton away from home at Goodison Park in the Premier League.
Team News:
Fulham are likely to line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation. Bernd Leno will be in goal for the home team. Kenny Tete, Joachim Andersen, Calvin Bassey and Antonee Robinson will be the four defenders. Andreas Pereira and Sander Berge will be the two holding midfielders. Alex Iwobi, Emile Smith Rowe and Reiss Nelson will be the three attacking midfielders, Raúl Jiménez will lead the line for Fulham.
Wolverhampton Wanderers
Wolverhampton Wanderers are a big and well-established club in the Premier League, but they are really struggling at the moment. There is a very good chance that Wolves will get relegated to the Championship at the end of the season.
Wolves are second from bottom in the Premier League table at the moment with six points from 11 matches. Gary O’Neil’s side are two points behind 17th-placed Ipswich Town and are among the favourites to go down to the Championship at the end of the season. Wolves are two points ahead of bottom side Southampton.
The Wanderers will head into the Premier League match against Fulham away from home at Craven Cottage in London on the back of a 2-0 victory over Southampton at home in the league. It came after a 2-2 draw with Crystal Palace at Molineux Stadium in the Premier League which followed a 2-2 draw with Brighton and Hove Albion on the road in the league.
Team News:
Wolverhampton Wanderers are likely to line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation against Fulham. Jose Sa will be in goal for Wolves. Nelson Semedo, Santiago Bueno, Craig Dawson and Toti Gomes will be the fourth defenders. Mario Lemina and Joao Gomes will be the two holding midfielders. Pablo Sarabia, Matheus Cunha and Rayan Aït-Nouri are likely to be the three attacking midfielders. Jorgen Strand Larsen will lead the line for Wolves.
Key Factors to Consider
- Fulham have conceded 13 goals in 11 Premier League matches this season.
- Wolverhampton Wanderers have won just 1 of their 11 Premier League games this campaign.
- Fulham have scored 16 goals in 11 Premier League matches this season.
- Wolverhampton Wanderers have conceded 27 goals in 11 Premier League games this campaign.
- Fulham have won 3 of their last 6 Premier League matches.
Conclusion
Wolverhampton Wanderers have been dire this season, but they did win their Premier League game just before the international break. That will enhance their confidence heading into the match against Fulham, but the Cottagers should be able to get the job done with relative ease and should be able to pick up all three points from this particular Premier League encounter.
