Wolves travel to Craven Cottage to kick off the Premier League weekend. The hosts will be looking for three points to take them level on points with Newcastle, and within a single point of the Champions League spots in the standings.
Premier League Preview
It looks set to be a big fixture in the Premier League for both Wolves and Fulham on Friday evening, as both are battling for positions at different ends of the standings. It has been a sensational campaign to this point for Fulham, and they will be looking to record a third straight win. Success this Friday would take them to within a point of the Champions League spots, albeit after playing a game more.
The Cottagers don’t seem to be showing any signs of dropping away in the race for a European spot, as they have gone three without defeat, and have picked up back-to-back wins in the league. Their latest win was a fine success on the road against Brighton, as they stole a 1-0 win at the Amex. The only goal was scored with two minutes of the 90 remaining by Manor Solomon.
Wolves were handed a slight reality check in their bid to avoid relegation this season, as their two-game winning run was brought to a halt by Bournemouth. That defeat means that the Midlands side comes into this weekend’s fixtures sitting 15th, but just three points clear of the bottom three places.
Their recent form remains encouraging despite that defeat, as Wolves have picked up victories in three of their previous five games. However, scoring goals continues to be a massive issue this term, as they have hit the back of the net on just 17 occasions.
Fulham vs Wolves Head to Head
Fulham has gone five without a win against Wolves in Premier League fixtures. In fact, they have failed to score in each of their last four matches against the team from the Black Country. Wolves were 1-0 winners on their last trip to Craven Cottage in the Premier League.
Fulham vs Wolves Prediction
Wolves has a very solid record against Fulham in recent Premier League fixtures, and that bodes well for this weekend. The Cottagers were far from impressive on their most recent outing, and we could see that poor display catching up with them on Friday, as Wolves pick up a rare win on the road.
