Fulham vs Wolves Predictions and Betting Tips
Fulham still has a chance to save their season and they play hosts to Wolves on Friday looking to take a step towards achieving that. Read on for our expert tips and predictions.
It was quite a game at the Molineux Stadium last October as both sides went at each other in the first leg. However, it would be Nuno’s side who came out on top via a second half strike from Pedro Neto.
Can the Cottagers avoid the drop?
Fulham’s form has dwindled drastically as they head into this game off the back of three straight losses. They’re still in the drop zone, three points away from safety having played a game more than the teams above them. A recent 3-1 loss to Aston Villa means there's still a mountain for Scott Parker’s side to climb. How would they face this challenge?
Tough season for the Wolves
Nuno and his boys have had to endure a hard campaign taking into account their position in the league. Keeping in mind that they have finished in 7th place in the last two seasons, they’re currently in 14th which points towards a disappointing season for them. It could be said that the loss of Jota to Liverpool and Jimenez’s long term injury left them short of quality attacking options which propelled them to success in the last two seasons. However, with no wins in five, they would also be looking to get back to winning ways.
