We take a look at the English Premier League match between Fulham and Wolves on Friday night from a betting angle.
Fulham looked to be well on the road to securing their Premier League future, but after a run that pulled them in touching distance of safety they have now lost 4 of their last 5 including their last 3. Last time out they went down 3-1 away at Aston Villa and their last two home games were defeats to Leeds and Manchester City.
Their home record has been particularly poor this season with just 2 wins in 16 matches and they have only won 1 of their last 10 home games. Fulham’s last 2 home matches have had 3 goals or more in them, but had you been backing over 2.5 goals in each of their home games you would be well behind as only 7 of the 16 games have reached the 3 goal mark.
Wolves are in 14th spot, 9 points ahead of Fulham and with a game in hand. They are also on a poor run though and have not won in their last 5, losing 3 and drawing 2. Last time out they went down 3-2 at home to West Ham and their last away game was a goalless draw at Aston Villa. They have won 4 and drawn 4 of their 15 away matches this season and in those 15 games, 8 of the matches would have delivered profits for those backing under 2.5 goals.
When these sides met at Wolves earlier in the season it was the home team who emerged victorious 1-0.

Fulham 29/20
Draw 21/10
Wolves 9/4
Suggested Bet: Over 2.5 goals at 14/10
The season long stats for these teams do not support the overs play, but at 14/10 I am keen to get involved based on recent matches they have been involved in. Fulham’s last match had 4 goals and Wolves last game had 5 goals and I think the 14/10 is a bit of value.
If forced to back 1 of the 3 match result options, I would be leaning towards a Wolves win at 9/4 and there are a host of other markets to bet on including Half-time / Full-time, Correct Score and First Goal Scorer.
