Fulham v Wolves
📅
Kick Off: Monday 27th November at 20:00
🏆
Competition: Premier League
📺
Watch Live: Sky Sports Main Event
Monday Night Football is back after the international break, and for the first one back we have an interesting clash between two sides who had differing expectations at the start of the season but appear to be heading in opposite directions.
Gary O’Neil was appointed Wolves manager on the eve of the season starting after Julen Lopetegui walked out citing broken promises on transfer funds. Wolves were backed by many to go down, but as he did at Bournemouth, O’Neil has calmly guided his side away from trouble, picking up a few big scalps along the way, most notably Man City and Newcastle.
Meanwhile, Fulham were coming off the back of a very solid season last year, their first top half finish in the top-flight since the 2011/12 season under Martin Jol, but they have struggled out of the gate this time around. Whilst relegation should not be a concern just yet, going backwards in such a big way must be, as this kind of stagnation almost always leads to the Championship trapdoor eventually.
What this game does have going for it is the fact that both managers will likely have singled this out as a game in which they believe they can secure the three points. Both sides have been inconsistent so far this season, but they will see a fixture like this as a chance to build some momentum as we head into the busiest period of the season.
As Gary O’Neil knows from his time at Bournemouth, catching fire and putting a run together over Christmas can all but confirm survival, especially this season when we have three teams struggling to put any kind of points on the board.
Both teams should be right up for this one, and both have players capable of making it an entertaining watch. It also features two of the sides that pick up the most cards, so it has the potential to become quite feisty. Whilst it may not have sounded like the best game on paper, it could turn out to be a lot of fun.

⚽ Match stats: Fulham’s struggles at the Cottage set to continue?
Initially, Fulham’s record of two wins from five Premier League home games looks reasonable, but with their only two wins coming against Luton and Sheffield United, it does start to look more worrying.
In their other three games, they have failed to score a single goal, being comfortably beaten 3-0 by Brentford, 2-0 by Chelsea and 1-0 by Man United.
Failing to score at hom must be a concern for Marco Silva, and the visitors are not likely to draw a blank, having found the net in five of their six away games in the league to date.
Only on the opening weekend of the season have Wolves failed to score when playing away from home, a 1-0 defeat at Old Trafford where they were unfortunate to be denied a last-minute penalty after a clumsy challenge by Andre Onana.
Fortunately for Fulham, Wolves have not kept it tight at the back, conceding in all but one of their six away games, including to Luton, Bournemouth and Sheffield United, so there will be some optimism that they can finally get a goal on the board against a team that wasn’t in the Championship last season.
Despite Wolves’ up-and-down form away from home, Fulham’s struggles at Craven Cottage will mean Gary O’Neil’s side arrive in a confident mood. Backing them to win could be a nice option if you’re confident, coming in at 2.90, but a double chance pick also represents excellent value, priced as big as 1.53.
Predictions:
🏆 Wolves double chance @ 1.53
🏆 Wolves to win @ 2.90
🎯 Shooting stats: Look to Lemina for some unbelievable value
Mario Lemina may not initially look to be an obvious pick for shots bets, but the Gabonese midfielder is quietly becoming more and more of an attacking threat.
Over the course of the season, Lemina has had at least one shot in nine of his 11 starts for Wolves in the league, whilst he has managed to take two or more shots in five of these nine games.
Across his last two Premier League appearances he has had five shots, and three on target, so it is unusual to see him priced as high as 3.50 to manage another shot on target here, especially in a game where we can expect Wolves to see plenty of the ball.
Lemina has now had a shot on target in five of his last six starts, the one exception being the win over Man City in which he had the fewest touches of any game this season.
He has scored in two of his last three starts and is surely full of confidence right now, making him an excellent value play. Even if we would perhaps not expect the attacking threat to carry on for a full season, right now Lemina is getting himself involved and is not afraid to shoot, so there is every chance he can carry on his hot streak going forward.
Predictions:
🚀 Mario Lemina to have 1+ shots @ 1.33
🚀 Mario Lemina to have 2+ shots @ 2.75
🎯 Mario Lemina to have 1+ shots on target @ 3.50
🛑 Fouls stats: Robinson and Gomes the players to target
Two players massively stand out for their consistency in the fouls market, the first of which is Fulham’s left-back Antonee Robinson.
Robinson has now committed at least one foul in his last eight Premier League starts for Fulham, committing two or more fouls in five of his last seven. Considering this, Robinson being priced at 2.70 to commit two fouls looks absolutely unbelievable value.
He will be partially responsible for keeping tabs on Wolves’ roaming forward Hwang Hee-Chan, who draws 1.63 fouls per game. His left flank also sees him in close proximity with midfielder Jean-Ricner Bellegarde who wins 2.08 fouls per game, the second-most of any Wolves player.
With these two likely to be up against Robinson for much of the game, racking up the two fouls necessary for the longer-odds option looks very possible.
For Wolves, Joao Gomes is the player to look at. He is not worth backing at 1.06 to commit one foul, but even with the price for 2+ fouls being as short at 1.40, he still looks a good value pick.
Gomes has committed a foul in nine of his 10 league starts and is on a run of committing at least two fouls per game in each of his last five starts. Not only this, but in two of these games he came off after 45 minutes, meaning he had already hit this mark by half time twice in this run.
In the other three games in which he did not come off, he racked up at least three fouls in all of them, and four or more in two of those three.
Predictions:
🛑 Antonee Robinson to commit 1+ fouls @ 1.33
🛑 Antonee Robinson to commit 2+ fouls @ 2.70
🛑 Joao Gomes to commit 2+ fouls @ 1.40
🟨 Cards stats: Wolves to retain their cards crown
This is likely to be a card-heavy affair, with both sides ranking in the top four for cards this season, and especially coming from the visiting side, with Wolves’ 3.42 cards per game being the most of any side in the division.
Fulham are no slouches in this department either, coming in at an average of just under three per game, 2.92. They have, however, generally had fewer cards at home, with three of their home games seeing just one or two Fulham cards.
For this reason, then, backing Wolves to be shown the most cards looks a very appealing option here. They have seen more cards than their opponents in every away game so far this season and have collected at least two bookings in all six of those games.
Five of their six away games have seen the Midlands side pick up at least three bookings, whilst two of the six have seen them receive four or more.
With Wolves failing to hit the over 2.5 cards line just once away from Molineux all season, backing them to keep this streak going, against a side who also pick up plenty of cards seems like fantastic value at 1.70, as does backing them to receive the most cards at 1.83.
However, referee Michael Salisbury has generally tended to keep his cards in his pocket this season, averaging a low 2.8 cards per game in the Premier League. For that reason, even though both sides average a high number of cards, it looks best to avoid the total cards market.
Fulham are much more inconsistent than Wolves, so instead, focus on the visitors who have consistently picked up cards throughout the season when choosing any card bets for your bet builder.
Predictions:
🟨 Over 2.5 Wolves cards @ 1.70
🟨 Wolves to receive the most cards @ 1.83
