Fulham and Wolverhampton Wanderers square off in a Friday night Premier League fixture with both teams battling at different ends of the table. The Cottagers have been in good form as they continue to push for a European finish and should have the edge over Wolves who are battling near the foot of the table.
Fulham have gained a second wind since the turn of the year and are seriously pushing to secure Europa League football next season. They are currently three points off fifth placed Tottenham Hotspur and have won their last three matches across all competitions.
One of the more impressive things about Fulham lately is that they have learned to play and win without top scorer Aleksandar Mitrovic, who is currently battling a hamstring problem. The striker was missing last time out as they claimed a 1-0 victory at Brighton thanks to Manor Solomon’s late effort.
Following the win at Brighton, Fulham are back to Craven Cottage, where they have won three of their last four matches. However, Marco Silva’s men remain suspect defensively having kept just one clean sheet in their last five home matches.
Wolverhampton Wanderers have also shown some good form in recent weeks with two wins in their last three matches. They are slowly putting some daylight between themselves and the relegation zone and are now up to 15th on the table, three points above the bottom three.
While things have undoubtedly improved for Wolves, they still struggle with consistency. This was evident in their previous Premier League fixture as they suffered a 1-0 home defeat to Bournemouth.
Wolverhampton Wanderers will head to Craven Cottage looking to build on their 2-1 victory at Southampton in their previous away fixtures. However, they have generally found things difficult on their travels this season as that was only their second away win of the campaign.

Fulham have the edge among the bookies and are priced at 11/8 by bet365 to claim the win. A victory for Wolverhampton Wanderers is valued at 21/10 by Paddy Power while William Hill is offering odds of 23/10 for a draw.
