Fulham vs Wolves Preview
Fulham
Marco Silva’s high-flying Fulham will be chasing a third straight win in the Premier League on Saturday. Maximum points could see them end the day inside the Champions League spots in the English top-flight.
Harry Wilson is pushing for a start after netting three in two appearances from the bench, and he could be named in the starting eleven ahead of Reiss Nelson. Despite their lofty position in the standings, the Cottagers are underperforming in terms of their xG metric of 17.34, netting just 15 goals from 130 shots.

However, they have been defensively solid, conceding ten from an xGA of 10.37. The defensive line looks formidable against lesser teams in the Premier League, with a back four consisting of Kenny Tete, Joachim Andersen, Calvin Bassey, and Antonee Robinson.
Fulham have been most impressive when defending set pieces, having restricted rivals to an xGA of 0.89 and failing to concede.
Wolves
The pressure has eased on Gary O’Neil recently after guiding Wolves on a three-game unbeaten sequence. Confidence levels should also be high after recording a first win of the season before the international break against Southampton.
O’Neil’s decision to push Rayat Ait-Nouri into a forward area was a good choice, as Toti Gomes covered well in the defensive left-back role. Wolves aren’t creating high-quality chances based on their xG of 9.72, but they have scored an impressive 14 goals from open play.

Sam Johnstone will miss out once again this weekend, but Jose Sa has been in excellent form in the Wolves goal in place of the England international. However, Wolves will need to be more reliable when defending corners.
The Black Country club have already conceded an xGA of 3.79 and have allowed six goals from 38 shots. Hwang Hee-chan is doubtful for this weekend’s clash, but Matheus Cunha is expected to feature in the number ten role.

- Pick: The Draw
- Odds: 4.12 (22Bet)
- Score prediction: Fulham 1-1 Wolves
The draw could be an interesting Fulham vs Wolves prediction this weekend. The home win at 1.65 is incredibly short, and O’Neil’s side come into the round after playing out respectable away draws at Brighton and at home against Crystal Palace in recent weeks.
Wolves look to have turned a corner, and they have excellent quality on the counter-attack with players such as Ait Nouri and Cunha.

Meanwhile, Wolves have avoided defeat in seven of their last eight against the Cottagers, winning 2-1 in the previous encounter between the sides.
However, their defensive issues still mean that Fulham will get their chances, and they could level the scores from a set piece.
Fulham vs Wolves Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Matheus Cunha to Score

The Brazilian has registered seven goal involvements in eleven, which includes five goals from an xG of 2.67.
