Fulham stayed in the relegation region after letting go of yet another good chance to rise from the bottom three in their loss away to Aston Villa. The London side will now be looking to make it better when they host another struggling side, Wolverhampton Wanderers. Fulham have so far managed 26 points and are 18th in the standings, while Wolves, on 35 points, are 14th. The hosts showed great promise in the 1-0 win over Liverpool earlier in March, but have lost each of the three games after that. The last two losses – against Leeds United and Aston Villa – were avoidable but big defensive errors have come to haunt Scott Parker’s side. In the last game, Fulham led 1-0 with 12 matches to go and would have risen from the drop zone with a win. That chance, just like earlier in the 2-1 loss to Leeds, was bottled and the team that had in recent matches been very organized in defence has now conceded eight goals in the last three. They have three straight home losses in the Premier League and just two wins in 16 and they aren’t in a position to drop more points, being three points below the safe zone and with a game more. This is one of their three remaining home matches and all are very crucial, given the sides they face have all not secured survival. At home, Fulham have failed to score in nine of their 16 league matches and have the joint poorest home form, having won just 10 points from a possible 48. One positive they can bank on going to this game is Aleksandar Mitrovic’s form, with the Serbian currently on six goals in the last four matches for club and country.

Wolves beat Fulham 1-0 in the October meeting and will be eying another win here as they seek to rise towards mid table. At the moment, they are nine points above the relegation zone and a win here will be very key, though their form hasn’t been the best, going to this game on the back of five winless outings. They are coming from a 3-2 home loss to West Ham United which has left them with just one clean sheet in the last five games. Their attempted comeback against West Ham fell just short after rising from 3-0 down but it was the first time in six matches that they scored more than a goal. Joao Moutinho missed that game but he is expected back for this and goalkeeper Rui Patricio will keep his place after going unscathed in the West Ham game, having earlier been put under observation after a collision in the Liverpool game. Wolves haven’t been scoring a lot, and generally also do not concede a lot; in their last 15 league matches, they’ve scored two or more in five and conceded two or more in five as well. Seven of their last 15 league matches have produced over 2.5 goals but they head here winless in three straight away league matches. In their final four away league matches, Wolves have a tough run; they face two sides fighting for survival and two seeking top four finishes, and it is bound to be a big test for them. They’ve been poor away from home, which puts them at risk – in the 15 away league games, Wolves have managed just four wins, earning 16 out of a possible 45 points. The team has scored two or more goals in just two of the last 11 away league matches.
