Wolverhampton Wanderers enter this crucial midweek Premier League fixture in high spirits after a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Bournemouth. That result pushed them further from the relegation zone, but Wolves still sit precariously, just one place above the dreaded bottom three.
Another win here could give them an eight-point cushion, making this match a vital opportunity. Defensive solidity has been their key weapon, with five of their six league wins coming with a clean sheet. The exception was a thrilling 4-1 triumph over Fulham, which Wolves hope to replicate as they seek their first league double of the season. Head coach VÃtor Pereira remains unbeaten against his Portuguese compatriot Marco Silva (W3, D1), further boosting confidence within the Wolves’ camp.
Fulham Aim for a Response
Fulham arrived at Molineux determined to bounce back after a disappointing 2-0 defeat to Crystal Palace. Despite being in the top half of the table, they sit four points away from the European spots, making this a must-win fixture.
However, Silva’s side has struggled against teams fighting relegation, collecting only two points from the four clubs directly above the drop zone (D2, L4). That said, Fulham have proven resilient on the road, losing just three away matches all season while avoiding defeat in eight of their last nine away fixtures (W5, D3, L1). Their strong away form could provide the edge they need to overcome Wolves.
Key Players to Watch
Matheus Cunha continues to be Wolves’ main attacking force. His crucial goal against Bournemouth took his Premier League tally to 13 this season, accounting for 36% of Wolves’ total goals. Only four players in the league have had a more significant impact on their team’s goal tally.
Conversely, former Wolves striker Raúl Jiménez will be eager to make his mark against his old club. The Mexican forward has contributed to goals in two of Fulham’s last three games and will be looking to haunt his former side at Molineux.
Hot Stat
Fulham has shown remarkable resilience when conceding first, avoiding defeat in more than half of such scenarios (W3, D3, L4). This ability to fight back could prove decisive in this fixture.
Prediction: Wolves 1-1 Fulham
This game promises to be a tightly contested affair, with both sides having clear motivations to secure points. The wolves’ defensive strength and home advantage will make it challenging for them to break down. At the same time, Fulham’s solid away record and ability to recover from setbacks suggest they will not leave empty-handed. Expect a tense but entertaining draw at Molineux.
