Wolves vs Fulham prediction: ENGLAND: Premier League betting tips on match 2025-02-24 19:30.
[p]A jubilant Wolverhampton Wanderers enter the latest midweek round of Premier League fixtures with a healthy-looking gap to the relegation zone following a 1-0 win over ten-man Bournemouth on Saturday. Wolves are still only one place above the dreaded dotted line, although they now have an opportunity to provisionally increase their cushion to eight points if they record a fourth competitive victory in five games (W3, L1). [/p]
[p]Keeping it tight at the back may be vital in that aim, as all but one of their six league wins this season has come with a clean sheet. The exception was a 4-1 triumph at Fulham, but with Wolves still seeking a first top-flight double over any side in 2024/25, head coach VĂtor Pereira may be quietly confident that he can extend his personal unbeaten record against Portuguese compatriot Marco Silva (W3, D1). [/p]
[p]Entering this round clinging to their top-half position yet still just four points from the European spots, Fulham travel to the Black Country seeking an immediate response following defeat to Crystal Palace (2-0). Silva has a tough job on his hands to improve on his frustrating record against Wolves with the Londoners (W1, D2, L2), a run which has seen both teams score in each of the last four clashes. [/p]
[p]Facing lowly opposition hasn’t been easy for Fulham, who have picked up six more points against the current top four (W2, D2, L1) than they have against the four teams directly above the drop zone (D2, L4). Playing away may inspire the Cottagers to improve that form, as only two sides have lost fewer Premier League games on the road than their three this season, while Fulham have also avoided defeat in eight of their last nine competitive trips (W5, D3, L1). [/p]
[p]Players to watch: Matheus Cunha reprised his role as Wolves’ chief orchestrator in attack with his 13th Premier League goal this term at the weekend, meaning that only four other players in the division have scored a higher proportion of their team’s total in that time than the Brazilian’s 36%. Raúl Jiménez contributed to 80 goals at Wolves and will be eyeing a first goal against his former club after having a hand in goals in two of Fulham’s last three matches. [/p]
[p]Hot stat: Fulham have avoided defeat in most of their league games this season when conceding first (W3, D3, L4). [/p]
