Having shown a taste for scoring-rich games, goals have come in 21 times in the previous six games in which Fulham have played, managing an average of 3.5 goals per game.

Team News: Wolves
Wolves coach Bruno Lage will have to find solutions as Nélson Semedo, Adama Traoré, Chiquinho and Ral Jiménez are not available.
From our point of view, Wolves will use a 4-2-3-1 formation in this game, starting with Jose Sa, Jonny, Nathan Collins, Max Kilman, Rayan Ait Nouri, Ruben Neves, Leander Dendoncker, Daniel Podence , Morgan Gibbs-White, Pedro Neto, and Hee-Chan Hwang.
Team News: Fulham
Fulham manager Marco Silva has to deal with a significant number of unavailable players. Harry Wilson and Manor Solomon will miss this match.
We are among those who believe that Fulham will probably use a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Marek Rodak, Kenny Tete, Tosin Adarabioyo, Tim Ream, Antonee Robinson, Harrison Reed, Joao Palhinha, Neeskens Kebano, Andreas Pereira, Bobby Reid, and Aleksandar Mitrovic.
Prediction
Our analysis makes us think that Fulham will not find a way to get past Wolves' goal line, who with effort could perhaps win the game without conceding. That is why we predicted a close 1-0 win for Wolves when the referee called it the end. There will be little football today.
