Wolverhampton Wanderers head into their midweek Premier League clash in high spirits after securing a crucial 1-0 victory over Bournemouth on Saturday.
That result not only provided a welcome boost to their survival hopes but also created a more comfortable gap between themselves and the relegation zone. Although Wolves remain just one place above the bottom three, a win here would allow them to extend their advantage to eight points, at least temporarily.
Recent form suggests they are building some momentum, having won three of their last four matches in all competitions. A strong defensive foundation has been key to their success, with five of their six league victories this season coming alongside a clean sheet. The exception was a commanding 4-1 win over Fulham in the reverse fixture, and with no top-flight doubles secured against any opponent so far this campaign, head coach Vítor Pereira will see this as the perfect opportunity to change that.
Pereira might also take confidence from his personal record against Marco Silva. The Wolves boss has faced his fellow Portuguese manager four times in his career and remains unbeaten, winning three of those encounters. However, past results mean little once the whistle blows, and Fulham will be eager to put their weekend disappointment behind them.
The visitors arrive at Molineux still clinging to a place in the top half of the table but knowing they must bounce back after a 2-0 loss to Crystal Palace. Despite that setback, European qualification remains within reach, with just four points separating them from the teams above. Fulham’s record against Wolves under Silva has been mixed, with one win, two draws, and two defeats, though each of the last four meetings has produced goals at both ends.
One concern for Fulham has been their struggles against teams lower down the table. While they have picked up solid results against some of the league’s strongest sides, including the current top four, they have found life much tougher against teams battling relegation. They have collected just two points from their six matches against the four sides directly above the bottom three, a statistic Silva will be desperate to improve.
Their away form, however, offers encouragement. Only two teams have lost fewer Premier League matches on the road than Fulham this season, and they have shown resilience in difficult fixtures. Over their last nine competitive away games, they have suffered just one defeat, picking up five victories along the way. If that trend continues, they will fancy their chances of taking something from this trip.
For Wolves, Matheus Cunha has been the key figure in attack, once again proving his value with the match-winning goal against Bournemouth. That strike took his tally to 13 in the Premier League this season, meaning he has now contributed to over a third of Wolves’ total goals in the campaign. His influence in the final third will be crucial once again if Wolves are to claim another three points.
On the opposite side, all eyes will be on Raúl Jiménez as he returns to his former home. The striker was a fan favorite during his time at Wolves, directly contributing to 80 goals during his spell at the club. Now wearing Fulham colors, he will be eager to open his account against his former team, having already played a role in goals in two of Fulham’s last three matches.
A key statistic to consider is Fulham’s ability to respond when falling behind. This season, they have managed to avoid defeat in more than half of the league matches in which they have conceded first, showing their ability to fight back and rescue points. That resilience could be tested again at Molineux, where Wolves have shown defensive solidity in recent weeks.
With Wolves looking to edge further away from danger and Fulham hoping to stay within touching distance of the European places, this match carries plenty of significance for both sides. Pereira’s men will aim to build on their recent momentum and capitalize on their home advantage, while Silva will demand a reaction from his players after a frustrating weekend.
Both teams have plenty to play for, and given their recent history of competitive encounters, this promises to be another hard-fought battle. Wolves will look to keep things tight at the back, while Fulham’s attacking threats could ensure an open and entertaining contest. With the season entering a crucial phase, every point matters, and both sides will be eager to seize this opportunity.
