Fulham vs Wolverhampton Wanderers Preview

Fulham and Wolves will battle for three points this Friday in the first fixture of the Premier League weekend.

The hosts come into this tie on the back of a brilliant 1-0 win over Brighton. That result left them with at least ten more points than they accrued in either of their last two Premier League campaigns and four points behind Tottenham in fourth position.

They are also just two shy of the widely accepted 40-point threshold for top-flight safety and will want to cross that line in this game to focus on their top six aspirations.

However, the hosts will have to stop a five-game winless run of head-to-heads against Wolves (D2, L3). They seem well placed to do so, though, with only Manchester United winning more PL games than Fulham’s six since the restart (W6, D1, L2).

They have also kept three clean sheets and will fancy their chances of keeping this toothless Wolves team quiet. The visitors are the joint-lowest scorers in the league this season, with only 17 goals scored in 23 games.

They even failed to score against the league’s worst defence last time losing 1-0 to Bournemouth.

However, they aren’t terrible under Julen Lopetegui who has had a mixed reign in league action (W4, D1, L3). Those 13 points have proven crucial in earning a three-point cushion over the relegation zone.
