Wolverhampton vs Fulham prediction and betting tips on March 9, 2024
One of the fixtures of the 28th round of the English Premier League will be played at Molineux Stadium, where the local Wolverhampton will host Fulham. Here's the forecast for this match from Dailysports experts.
Wolverhampton
The Wolves managed to secure their place in the elite division last season. However, with the departure of several key players and manager Julen Lopetegui during the summer transfer window, Wolverhampton was considered by many experts as relegation contenders. Nevertheless, after a shaky start, the Wolves found their rhythm and currently sit in tenth place in the league table. In 27 matches, the team has accumulated 38 points, nine of which came in the last five rounds. Last weekend, Wolverhampton suffered a 0-3 defeat in an away match against Newcastle.
Fulham
With the arrival of Portuguese manager Marco Silva, Fulham managed to transition from relegation battlers to mid-table contenders in the English Premier League. Moreover, this season, the Cottagers even made a splash in the League Cup, reaching the semi-finals before losing to eventual winners Liverpool. Currently occupying the 13th position in the league table, Fulham has garnered 35 points from 27 matches. Last weekend, under Silva's leadership, Fulham confidently defeated Brighton 3-0 at home, marking their third victory in the last four rounds.

Wolverhampton vs Fulham Prediction
Both teams are currently in relatively similar form. It's not surprising that bookmakers are offering almost equal odds on victory for each team. However, Fulham hadn't won away in 11 consecutive matches before their victory against Manchester United at Old Trafford. Therefore, it's reasonable to assume that Fulham won't secure an away victory for the second time in a row. Our wager is "Wolverhampton to Win with 0 Handicap" with odds of 1.87.
