Preview: Fulham vs. Wolverhampton – Team news and prediction

Fulham and Wolves conclude this Premier League round at Craven Cottage.

Fulham is without a win in their last 4 Premier League matches, having lost the last two to Aston Villa and Manchester United, respectively. They have 12 points after 12 games, so securing 3 points in tonight's match would be beneficial in terms of distancing themselves from the relegation zone. 

After a slow start to the season for Wolves, they have found their form and suffered only 1 defeat in their last 7 Premier League matches. They have accumulated 3 wins and 3 draws in those 7 games, and most recently secured an impressive home victory with a 2-1 win over Tottenham.

It has usually been tight contests between the two teams, often ending goalless. In the last 5 matches, there have been only 5 goals, suggesting a tactical affair with a focus on the defensive aspects of the game.

Team news: 
Fulham must do without Rodrigo Muniz and Issa Diop, who are definitively ruled out due to injuries. Adama Traore and Tosin Adarabioyo are back on the training ground, and both are expected to be in the squad, potentially starting the match on the bench. Joao Palhinha is one of the key players for Fulham, but he is suspended, so it looks like Tom Cairney will replace him.

Joe Hodge and Pedro Neto have not recovered from their injuries. Like Palhinha, Craig Dawson is also out with an injury, so it is expected that Santiago Bueno will replace him. Nelson Semedo is doubtful and will be assessed in the warm-up, but the hope is that he will start the game.

Fulham expected lineup:
Leno; Tete, Bassey, Ream, Robinson; Iwobi, Cairney, Pereira; Decordova-Reid, Jimenez, Willian

Wolves expected lineup: 
Sa; Kilman, Toti, S. Bueno; Semedo, Lemina, Gomes, Bellegarde, Ait-Nouri; Sarabia, Cunha 

Prediction: 
It is usually close and low scoring when these two teams meet, and we believe it will be the same this time. Under 2.5 goals is priced at 1.66 at the given moment, and it's worth considering. However, we are aiming for slightly higher odds and predict that the match will end in a draw at odds 3.25.
