Fulham vs Wolves predictions: Expect goals for both at Craven Cottage
- Both teams have scored in eight of Fulham’s last 10 Premier League games
- Both teams have scored in nine of Wolves’ 11 league matches
- Recommended bet: Both teams to score - Yes
Wolves had to wait until the 11th time of asking to record their first victory of the Premier League season as they edged past Southampton 2-0 in their final fixture before the international break.
Gary O'Neil will be hoping his side can continue where they left off at Fulham, but the Cottagers are flying high in the Premier League with 18 points from 11 outings.
That is 12 points more than second-bottom Wolves have managed and Marco Silva’s men find themselves seventh, only one point behind fierce rivals Chelsea, who sit third.
Fulham have won their last two league games against Brentford and Crystal Palace and they have been strong at Craven Cottage, where they have taken 10 points from their last five top flight matches.
But Wolves have been much better than their results imply and this has the makings of an entertaining encounter.
Team news
Fulham’s only injury concern is to midfielder Sasa Lukic, otherwise Silva is expected to have a fully fit squad to choose from.
Wolves have Yerson Mosquera and Enso Gonzalez ruled out for the remainder of the season and although Sasa Kalajdzic is nearing his return, this match comes too soon.
Boubacar Traore has been limited to just one appearance this season but is another closing in on a return, while Santiago Bueno and Hwang Hee-Chan remain doubtful.
The stats
Fulham have lost only three of their opening 11 league games, with those defeats coming against Manchester United, Manchester City and Aston Villa.
The Cottagers have lost only one of their five home matches.
Wolves have won only once in the top flight this season.
Wolves have failed to win any of their last 11 away games in the Premier League.
Wolves have lost only one of their last eight meetings with Fulham.
Prediction
Fulham have excelled in the Premier League this season, especially at home where they have claimed the scalps of Leicester, Newcastle and Brentford.
However, both teams have scored in all five of their home league games, which includes fixtures with West Ham and Aston Villa, and the trend may continue against Wolves.
While Wolves sit second bottom in the Premier League, they have had an extremely difficult set of fixtures to start the season and they have not always got what they have deserved so far.
Both teams have scored in nine of their last 10 top flight matches, and that includes fixtures with Chelsea, Liverpool, Aston Villa and Manchester City, which also highlights their attacking prowess.
