Wolves will aim to put more distance between themselves and the relegation zone when they host European hopefuls Fulham at Molineux Stadium in Tuesday’s Premier League action.
Fresh off a confidence-boosting victory, Vitor Pereira’s men capitalized on their extra man to turn Cunha’s clinical 38th-minute effort into a match-winning strike, sealing a well-deserved three points in a tough visit to a Bournemouth side pushing for a Champions League spot. With their form picking up since the start of February, where they collected six out of a possible nine points from three top-flight outings, Wolves have managed to put a five-point cushion between themselves and the relegation zone, taking a significant step toward securing their survival.
Having set the tone for their February league assignments with back-to-back 2-1 triumphs over Newcastle and Nottingham Forest, Marco Silva’s men were eager to maintain momentum against Palace and strengthen their claim for a European berth, but instead, they fell flat in front of their home crowd, succumbing to a 0-2 loss while producing an alarmingly low xG of only 0.23. With Chelsea and Bournemouth, the teams occupying the final two European spots, failing to capitalize on their weekend fixtures, Fulham still have a legitimate shot at breaking into the top six, trailing the coveted spots by only four points, so they will be determined to get back on track as quickly as possible.
Wolves vs Fulham Betting Tips : BTTS
There is no doubt that Fulham can boast a far more productive season compared to Wolves, whose top-flight status hangs in the balance, but with both teams set to unleash their full attacking arsenal in pursuit of three crucial points, we anticipate a thrilling contest filled with goalmouth action. While Wolves have impressed in front of goal throughout the campaign, their defensive frailties have been brutally exposed with a shocking tally of 54 goals shipped across 26 fixtures, a record that firmly places them among the league’s most vulnerable backlines with an unsettling concession rate exceeding two per match. While they are not as defensively leaky as Wolves, the Cottagers have also been plagued by serious issues at the back, as their painful two-goal defeat to Palace marked the tenth time in their last eleven matches across all competitions that they failed to keep a clean sheet. Fulham’s defensive frailties have been exposed by Wolves in their recent clashes, as they have shipped 11 goals across their last three encounters, including a concerning four-goal haul in the reverse fixture from earlier this campaign. While it’s hard to back Fulham, even as they push for a European finish, we expect another fast-paced affair where both teams will likely find the back of the net.

Wolves team news
With numerous confirmed absences for Tuesday’s match against Fulham, the situation of Rayan Ait Nouri remains unclear after he had to leave the pitch against Bournemouth in the 80th minute due to a knock.
After being thrilled with his team's dominant performance and commanding victory over the Cherries last weekend, head coach Vitor Pereira is likely to stick with the same starting eleven for this one.

Fulham team news
Fulham not only suffered a tough 0-2 defeat against Crystal Palace at home but also saw Emile Smith Rowe and captain Tom Cairney forced off with injuries in the second half, casting doubt on their status for the next match.
Kenny Tete, along with wing duo Reiss Nelson and Harry Wilson, are all currently sidelined with injuries, but they're expected to be available again for manager Marco Silva in early April.
