Historical confrontations
In historical confrontations, the matches between Fulham and Wolves are often full of suspense, with both sides winning and losing, and no obvious advantage. However, in recent matches, Wolves may have a slight psychological advantage when facing Fulham, but this is not enough to determine the outcome of the game.
Recent status
Fulham:
Fulham has performed well in recent games. They defeated Brentford in the last round of the league and showed good competitive state.
The team has shown certain strength on both the offensive and defensive ends, especially the players on the forward line, whose performance is crucial to the team.
Wolves:
Wolves have struggled in the Premier League this season, without a win in the first 10 rounds, and are currently ranked at the bottom.
The team’s offense is weak, but the number of goals conceded remains high, which is a problem they urgently need to solve.
However, Wolves have also shown a certain rebound momentum in recent games, and they are not completely at a disadvantage when facing some strong teams.
Lineup and player status
Fulham:
Fulham’s lineup is relatively complete, without too many injuries.
The team has also made some moves in the transfer market, introducing some strong players to enhance the overall strength of the team.
Wolves:

However, the team also has some strong players who are about to return from injury, and their return will inject new vitality into the team.
Team news
Line-ups
As of the time of writing, Carlos Vinicius and Jorge Cuenca remain the only injured players in Fulham’s ranks. That said, the Cottagers should start with almost the same team that started most of the games so far this season.
Pereira, who has been given a more central role since the arrival of Smith Rowe from Arsenal, should sit alongside Lukic to orchestrate things in the middle of the park. Iwobi and Traore – who have made solid starts to the season – have roles to play in this particular encounter and barring any injuries, Raul Jimenez – who has found his form back – should lead the line for the home side in this encounter.
Fulham: Leno, Robinson, Bassey, Andersen, Tete; Lukic, Iwobi, Pereira, Traore, Smith Rowe; Jimenez.
Wolves do have several players out injured like Boubacar Traore (knee), Yerson Mosquera (knee), Sasa Kalajdzic, Leon Chiwome, and a host of others. Others with minor injuries are all expected to make a return to the team. However, the manager will hope that the other fit players in the team can get things done.
Wolves XI: Johnstone; Semedo, Bueno, Toti, Ait-Nouri; Andre, Cunha, Lemina, Gomes, Bellegarde; Larsen.
Prediction
Fulham have an excellent team and they have a strong squad that can challenge any team in the Premier League topflight. They went head-to-head with Manchester City back in October and could have taken at least a point if they were good with their finishing.
Meanwhile, Wolves are up against it, morale is down and performance is nothing to write home about. They will need to raise their game if they want to maintain their dominance against the Cottagers.
