Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Fulham

• Tournament: Premier League
• Date: 25th February, 2025
• Kick-off time: 07:30 PM GMT
• Venue: Molineux Stadium

Wolves have been quite average this season and have had erratic performances in their previous two matches. They almost pulled off a huge upset against Liverpool at Anfield two weeks ago but lost the match 2-1 and in their next match they secured a convincing 1-0 win against Bournemouth. Wolves's new signings and additions have bolstered their ranks and they have a fresh side now. After the win against Bournemouth, Wolves have 22 points and are in 17th place just five points above the relegation zone. As of their last five Premier League matches, Wolves have won only two matches losing the other three.

Fulham on the other hand just cannot find consistency in their winning ways. After a convincing 2-1 win against Nottingham Forest who are quite a force to be reckoned with this season, Fulham lost 2-0 to Crystal Palace. Marco Silva's men are looking to secure a spot in the top Six to compete in any of the elite UEFA European competitions however their inconsistency is holding them back. The top six is still in sight however Fulham cannot afford to lose points now and must get back to winning ways and capitalize on such matches to gain momentum. As of now they are 10th in the Premier League table with 39 points and a win against Wolves will get them to 8th spot. Fulham have won three of their last five Premier League matches, losing the remaining two and will look to win more to get back to a winning streak.

Wolverhampton Wanderers Team News

The hosts are playing without some of their key players namely Hwang Hee-chan, Kalajdzic, Mosquera, Leon Chiwone, and Enso Gonzalez. Another key player of theirs namely Rayan Ait-Nouri faced a rough tackle from Bournemouth player Zabaranyi for which the latter did receive a red card however the wing-back suffered a knock and was forced off the field. It is doubtful whether he will play against Fulham. Another player in doubt to play is January arrival Emmanuel Agbadou which might force Vitor Pereira to start Nasser Djiga in his back three. The good news for Wolves is that Jorgen Strand Larsen has recovered from his injury setback and is likely to start for Wolves.

Fulham Team News

Fulham are missing some players namely Harry Wilson, Kenny Tete and Reiss Nelson who will not be available for selection against Wolves on Tuesday. However, an even horrible situation right now for Fulham manager Marco Silva is that Emile Smith Rowe and Tom Cairney picked up knocks on their weekend match against Crystal Palace. Both of the players were forced off the field and are unlikely to start against Wolves. Marco Silva is likely to put Andreas Pereira in the starting XI if Emile Smith Rowe is not fit enough to start.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Fulham Prediction

Wolves are the second biggest spenders in the 2024-2025 winter transfer window and although their signings have not had any notable change besides Agbadou, the team in general has looked stronger and more fresh. Wolves did particularly well against Fulham last time in their reverse fixture which was an away match in which they won 4-1 against Fulham. Although, Fulham have had better performances this season, Wolves previous performance against them in an away match and their home stadium advantage in which they have been unbeaten in 15 games against Fulham gives them a better winning chance.

Predicted Score: Wolverhampton Wanderers 2-1 Fulham
