Fulham’s opponents Wolverhampton visit Craven Cottage

The final matchday 13 of the current Premier League season features two teams currently in the bottom third. In view of the three clear stragglers, the term “relegation battle” is not yet an issue. The winner at Craven Cottage will move towards the middle of the table. The best bookmakers see slight advantages between hosts Fulham and Wolverhampton when betting on the home side. A win for the visitors currently yields just over three times the stake

The visitors from the industrial city are three points ahead of the Cottagers in the current table. In addition, the direct comparison in recent years also speaks a clear language in favor of the Wolves. The home advantage is apparently rated very highly, as there is no other way to explain the favoritism for the Londoners. In the three top tips presented, you can see that our tendency for Fulham vs. Wolverhampton is to predict the visitors

An away win at Craven Cottage would see Wolverhampton climb to tenth place and even overtake Chelsea. After the last-minute win against Tottenham, confidence is certainly high. Now the second capital club is to be defeated, the game kicks off on Monday evening at 9 p.m.

Fulham – statistics & current form

2018/19 and 2020/21, the adventure in the strongest league in the world lasted just 38 matchdays each. Fulham became an elevator team that was too good for the second division and went down in the top flight. However, after changing leagues again, the Londoners had no worries about relegation the previous year and finished tenth in the table in a very strong season. However, the departure of life insurance Aleksandar Mitrovic was clearly felt. There is no player with a built-in goal guarantee in the squad, the top scorer is six-man Joao Palhinha, who, as is well known, should have moved to FC Bayern. Just two goals are enough to earn him the title of “top goalscorer”

No good memories of Montage

The season so far has seen three wins and three draws, but Fulham have already suffered six defeats. After four games without a win (just one point), the starting position for Monday evening is not particularly good. Especially as experience of Premier League games on the first day of the week is anything but good. Fulham’s last “Monday win” came in October 2013. The last six PL games on a Monday have all been lost, and the capital side have not even managed to score in the five most recent such games. For this reason alone, statistics fans will back our Fulham v Wolverhampton prediction on the visitors.

Another argument for this bet is a look at the list of absentees. The aforementioned Joao Palhinha will definitely be missing through yellow card suspension. The two central defenders Issa Diop and Tosin Adarabioyo are also question marks due to minor injuries, as is Bernd Leno (nose operation). The German goalkeeper should at least be able to play with a mask. Fulham’s preparations have been far from ideal, however, as they have only won two home games so far this season and have conceded three points to the visitors.

Predicted Fulham line-up:

Wolverhampton – Statistics & current form

On Gary O’Neil’s debut as Wolverhampton Wanderers head coach, the team conceded a 1-0 defeat at Manchester United’s Old Trafford Stadium on the first matchday of the current season. This defeat on August 14 was an exception, as it was the only competitive game so far in which Wolves have not scored a goal of their own. They have scored in each of their last eleven games. The last time the club had a longer streak was in the second half of 2019 (there were 18 games from August to December with at least one goal scored)

The Wolves should never be written off

This streak almost came to an end in the last game, but once again Gary O’Neil’s team showed their staying power. Joker Pablo Sarabia was the match-winner in the home game against Wolves with an assist and a goal of his own. Both Wolves goals were scored in stoppage time, meaning the team has now scored six goals in the last ten minutes of the game this season. Three of them alone were match-winning goals, each scored after the 86th minute. Based on this statistic, we find great favor in the Fulham vs. Wolverhampton duel with even odds for the bet “Goal after 74:59”.

And should Wolverhampton fall behind at Craven Cottage, this is not yet a preliminary decision. Wolverhampton Wanderers have already picked up seven points after falling behind. In this statistic, only Liverpool (eleven), Chelsea and Tottenham (eight points each) are better off than O’Neil’s charges.

The visitors will not be without injury worries, however, as seven-time assist provider Pedro Neto will miss the game. The 23-year-old Portuguese is suffering from a thigh injury and will therefore be missing, as will central defender Craig Dawson (yellow card suspension).

Wolverhampton’s probable line-up:

Fulham – Wolverhampton head-to-head comparison / H2H record

Wolves are definitely a kind of fearful opponent for the club from the capital. Fulham have won just one of their last 14 league games against Wolverhampton (four draws, nine defeats). The number of goals is also striking in this clash – both teams are stingy in their head-to-head. A meagre seven goals have been scored in the last six matches, with no team scoring more than once in any game. Accordingly, the prediction of under 2.5 between Fulham and Wolverhampton is obvious

Fulham – Wolverhampton betting tip

Head coach Marco Silva’s team has home advantage on Monday night, but otherwise there are not necessarily many arguments that justify a prediction of a home win for Fulham vs Wolverhampton. Recent results speak in favor of the visitors, as does the direct comparison in recent years. In addition, the loss of Palhinha for the Cottagers will be hard to compensate for. The absence of Neto at Wolves also leaves a gap, but with Hwang, Cunha, Kalajdzic and matchwinner Sarabia, Gary O’Neil has plenty of alternatives up front

The home side have scored a meagre four goals in five home games this season. Fulham have scored a total of ten goals, which is an average of less than one goal per game. Offensive fireworks are therefore not to be expected, which is why the betting odds of under 2.5 are recommended based on the H2H between Fulham and Wolverhampton. In our opinion, the best choice with odds of over 2.00 is the bet “DNB 2”. The statistics clearly speak in favor of the visitors and with the protection of the cashback in the event of a draw, this bet seems highly interesting – five units stake
