Wolves Vs Fulham

Wolverhampton Wanderers enter Tuesday’s Premier League clash against Fulham at Molineux riding the momentum of three wins in their last four games. Having recently secured a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Bournemouth, Vitor Pereira’s squad now aims to extend their dominance over the Cottagers with a third successive triumph against the London outfit.

The weekend fixture against Bournemouth saw Wolves capitalize on their opponent’s ill-discipline, with Ilya Zabarnyi’s early dismissal setting the stage for their success. Despite the numerical disadvantage, Bournemouth struggled to contain their visitors, and a well-placed delivery from Marshall Munetsi found its way to Matheus Cunha, who exhibited his usual poise to slot home the decisive goal. The Brazilian forward’s 13th goal of the campaign was enough to secure all three points, distancing Wolves from the likes of Ipswich Town and Leicester City in the league table following their respective defeats in gameweek 26.

Apart from their triumph over Bournemouth, Wolves have also claimed recent victories against Aston Villa and Blackburn Rovers, both achieved without conceding a goal. Their only setback in the last four encounters came in a narrow defeat at the hands of league leaders Liverpool, where they demonstrated considerable resilience, particularly in the latter stages of the contest. Pereira’s men now look to accomplish a feat they have not managed in nearly a year—winning consecutive home games in the Premier League. However, history suggests a challenge ahead, as four of their last five top-flight wins at Molineux have been followed immediately by a loss.

Meanwhile, Fulham enter the contest seeking to bounce back from a frustrating home defeat to Crystal Palace. Marco Silva’s side was undone by an own goal from former Palace defender Joachim Andersen before current Eagles right-back Daniel Munoz capped off the visitors’ win with a powerful finish from a tight angle. The 2-0 loss halted Fulham’s three-match winning streak and dealt a blow to their European aspirations, although they remain firmly in the top half of the standings. Regardless of Sunday’s results, the Cottagers will remain within striking distance of the league’s top seven, keeping their hopes of continental qualification alive.

Despite the setback, Fulham boasts an impressive record on their travels, having won their last three away fixtures. They have consistently found the net in their last six matches on the road, scoring at least twice in each of those games, and have not drawn a blank in an away fixture since their August defeat to Manchester United. Such attacking proficiency will be crucial if they hope to overcome a Wolves side that has historically had the upper hand in this fixture.

The last meeting between these sides saw Wolves emerge as emphatic 4-1 victors at Craven Cottage, with Matheus Cunha playing a starring role. Fulham will also be wary of their previous visit to Molineux, where they suffered a 2-1 defeat last March. In fact, Wolves have dominated this matchup in recent years, losing only once in their last nine encounters against their London adversaries. As both teams prepare for another crucial league battle, Fulham will be eager to overturn their fortunes against a Wolves side that has found renewed confidence under Pereira’s leadership.
