Fulham welcome Wolverhampton Wanderers to Craven Cottage on Friday night, with home side aiming to move out of the relegation zone for the first time since December.

Fulham currently sit eighteenth in the Premier League table – five points clear of West Brom and three points behind Newcastle.

Meanwhile, Wolves find themselves fourteenth – nine points ahead of Fulham – with a game in hand over the Cottagers.

Following a five-game unbeaten streak across January and February, Fulham head into Friday’s clash having lost four of their previous five matches.

Recent defeats to Manchester City, Leeds United and Aston Villa mean that Scott Parker’s men are currently enduring a three-match losing streak.

Looking at the bigger picture, Fulham have only managed to win three of their previous 20 games in all competitions.

Their last victory was a shock 1-0 win over Liverpool at Anfield last month, but they have since lost three straight matches.

However, thanks to their superior goal difference, Fulham would leapfrog Newcastle with a win on Friday.

On the flip side, Wolves head into this game on a five-match winless run, having picked up two draws and three losses since their way win back in February.

It is also worth pointing out that Wolves have conceded over 2.5 goals in two of their previous three defeats.

To make matters worse, Nuno’s side have only managed to win one of their last ten away games in the Premier League.

The Wanderers were tipped to secure a European spot this season. Instead, they find themselves battling for survival at the bottom end of the table.

Head-to-head: Wolves claimed a 1-0 victory over Fulham at Molineux in the reverse fixture back in October.

That means that Wolves have only lost two of their previous 21 matches against the Cottagers in all competitions.

Team news: Fulham will be without injured trio Ademola Lookman, Marek Rodak and Tom Cairney this weekend.

On the other hand, Wolves have Jonny, Willy Boly, Fernando Marcal and Raul Jimenez on the sidelines, although Jimenez could make a comeback at some point this term.

When you look at the recent records of Fulham and Wolves, all the signs point towards a low-scoring encounter on Friday.

Forebet predicts that Fulham will hold Wolves to a goalless draw at Craven Cottage, leaving Parker’s side in the bottom three.
