Fulham vs Wolves Bet Builder Tips: Friday, February, 24th

This weekend’s Premier League action commences in the capital on Friday and we have got some Fulham v Wolves bet builder tips lined up.

The Cottages, amidst an unlikely pursuit of European football, will be looking to build on last Saturday’s smash and grab on the south coast.

Despite having just two shots on target and generating 0.29 xG, Andre Silva’s side beat top six rivals Brighton to hoist themselves into the top six race driving seat.

Fulham vs Wolves Preview

Friday, February 24, 20:00 (UK)

The victory over Brighton last Saturday was significant for a number of reasons, not least because it lifted the Cottages over the 40 points threshold, the golden number for Premier League survival.

With 18 points between them and the dotted line, and 14 games remaining, I can say with some certainty Fulham’s Premier League status is confirmed for another season. They will not be relegated.

This is significant because, over the past five or so seasons, they have yo-yoed from the top flight to the second tier. Securing top flight status so early, with aplomb, seems to have ended this topsy-turvy sequence.

Spirits will be high after the nature of their last victory.

Berd Leno was impenetrable, facing 21 shots he made seven saves as Brighton generated an xG of 2.77 and created five ‘big chances’ yet failed to score.

The German stopper and the rearguard supplied the foundation for substitute Manor Solomon to clinch the victory with two minutes of time left.

Wolves were on the wrong side of a 1-0 victory to struggling Bournemout.

This leaves them three points from safety with some very difficult looking fixtures on the horizon, a result at Craven Cottage is a must.

Fulham have been dealt a blow with talisman Aleksandar Mitrovic still nursing a hamstring issue, he looks to be only fit enough for the bench.

This could see Bobby Cordova-Reid continue as a makeshift striker.

Without the Serbian frontman, Fulham struggled for goals.

This should come as no shock though, as over the last two seasons Mitrovic has bagged 39% of his side’s 137 domestic goals.

With him in the side, Fulham have won an average of 1.7 points and scored 1.5 goals per game. Without him, both of those figures drop to 1.2 per game.

With no Mitrovic, I imagine we will see a more pragmatic Fulham on Friday, which makes siding with a lack of goals appeal.

In the 212 games Julen Lopetegui has overseen, there has been an goals per game average of 2.2 goals per game.

In the eight Premier League games he has taken charge of, only three have seen two goals or fewer.

However, given Wolves precarious position, any sort of result would do here, especially considering who they have to play over the next five games.

After their trip to Fulham, their home game against Tottenham is sandwiched in between trips to Anfield and St James’ Park.

They then host fellow basement boys Leeds before a trip to the City Ground.

All things considered, combining under 2.5 goals and the first half to finish a draw is the play here. It pays out at 3.00 with bet365.
