Wolves midfielder Andre has never been shy when it comes to tackling and regularly mistimes them, committing 1.43 fouls per 90. The Brazilian hasn’t taken relegation well, committing eight fouls across his last five matches and being booked in two, whilst landing this bet in all five. He’s also made three fouls across his two previous games against Fulham.

Opposing Andre in the midfield battleground will be Fulham trio Sasa Lukic, Tom Cairney and Emile Smith-Rowe, who combine for 3.39 fouls drawn per 90. In the Cottagers' last three games, opposition central midfielders have committed 17 infringements between them, and so Andre should be busy and will do well to avoid a foul.

Old faithful Yerson Mosquera provided again last weekend with a shot away at Brighton despite his side mustering just five attempts all game. That tally matches the Colombian defender’s return from his last three league starts as he looks to finish the season with a flourish, adding to his average of 1.09 shots per 90. 

The bulk of Mosquera’s shots come from set pieces due to his aerial dominance, an area from which Fulham concede 3.69 efforts per game. This is another game between two sides with very little to play for and therefore we should see an end-to-end affair, further increasing the likelihood of a shot from the Wolves centre back. 

Fulham were beaten 1-0 by Bournemouth last time out, which was a really poor result in the circumstances. The visitors had a player sent off after 41 minutes, but then Joachim Andersen was shown a red card for a separate incident just a few minutes later. There was a lot more space in the second half, and Fulham dominated, registering a total of 11 corners.

Fulham have won just two of their last nine matches across all competitions, and have failed to score in seven of those games. However, they did beat Burnley 3-1 in that stretch, finishing the game with six corners, and this upcoming clash against Wolves promises to be a very similar matchup. 

The hosts are averaging 5.89 corners conceded per game in the Premier League this season, which is one of the highest tallies in the division. 

The reverse fixture between the sides was influenced by Emmanuel Agbadou’s red card in the first half, which forced Wolves to sit quite deep. They recorded just five shots in that game, but that was enough to force two saves from Bernd Leno. Wolves have shown at times that they can cause a threat going forward, and their performances at home have been notably better than when they play away. In fact, they forced six saves from Robin Roefs in their most recent home outing. 

Leno has been one of Fulham's most consistent performers this season, and the Fulham goalkeeper is averaging 2.69 saves per game in the league, rising to 2.94 when playing away. This bet has landed in each of Fulham’s last three away games, where Leno has racked up a total of 13 saves.

Fulham made their extra man advantage count in the reverse fixture, and they racked up a total of 19 shots, but Raul Jimenez failed to register a single effort at goal before he was replaced after 72 minutes. The former Wolves man is unlikely to play against his former club this weekend as he was absent from the matchday squad last time out due to illness. That allowed Rodrigo Muniz to lead the line and play the full 90 minutes, which has been a rare occurrence this campaign. The Brazilian had three shots against Bournemouth last time out, taking his average to an impressive 3.79 shots per 90 for the season.

Muniz looks set to start again here, and he should find plenty of chances against a relegated Wolves side with nothing to play for. When chances fall at his feet, Muniz will be more ruthless than Jimenez was in the reverse fixture. 

After being shown a straight red card last weekend, Joachim Andersen will be suspended for this clash at Molineux, which is a blow for Marco Silva. However, he does have adequate cover waiting in the wings, with Jorge Cuenca and Issa Diop - it seems like the latter will get the nod to start against Wolves, after he came on to deputise at the back against Bournemouth. The Morocco international recorded one infringement after being introduced. 

Diop hasn't featured regularly this season, and his lack of game-time makes this market appeal. He is averaging 1.06 fouls per 90 in the league this season despite his limited minutes, and the centre back has landed this selection in each of his last five appearances for Fulham. Diop has also picked up two yellow cards in that stretch, which shows how he does occasionally step out of the defensive line aggressively to contest duels.
