Our prediction for this Premier League match:
Buoyed by back-to-back wins over Brentford and Crystal Palace, Fulham will be aiming to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they face Wolverhampton on Matchday 12. The Cottagers have a chance to climb even to the Champions League places and they are likely to go all guns blazing at Wolverhampton. Fulham boss Marco Silva has a full squad to choose from except for midfielder Sasa Lukic, who is unlikely to be risked.
Meanwhile, the Wolves are widely expected to fight for survival this season. Gary O’Neil’s men did well to beat Southampton 2-0 at home before the international break, but given their difficulties on the road, we predict that Fulham are going to emerge triumphant in Saturday’s encounter. Both Hwang Hee-chan and Bastien Meupiyou are rated doubtful for the visiting team, while all Boubacar Traore, Yerson Mosquera, and Enso Gonzalez remain in the recovery room.
