Fulham FC prepares to face Wolverhampton Wanderers FC on November 23, 2024
As Fulham FC prepares to face Wolverhampton Wanderers FC on November 23, 2024, in the Premier League, the historical data suggests a challenging fixture for Wolves. Despite Wolverhampton’s superior head-to-head record, winning 12 out of the last 24 encounters with Fulham, recent form and venue give Fulham a distinct edge. Fulham has been strong at home, securing an average of 2 Points Per Game this season, contrasted starkly by Wolves’ struggles on the road with just 0.4 Points Per Game.
While previous encounters have witnessed an average of 2.67 goals per match and a 46% occurrence of both teams scoring, Fulham’s current strong home form strongly tilts the scale in their favor. Given Wolverhampton Wanderers’ poor away performances this season, Fulham is well-positioned to leverage its home advantage. Bettors should expect a competitive fixture, but with Fulham likely to capitalize on Wolverhampton’s away vulnerabilities, a win for Fulham at home seems to be the favorable prediction. A bet on Fulham securing the victory, with potential BTTS (Both Teams to Score) depending on lineups closer to the match day, could be considered.
