Fulham vs Wolverhampton tips and prediction: Gary O’Neil to conjure up latest Wolves success

Say what you want, but in our eyes Wolves boss Gary O’Neil is a hell of a miracle worker.

The 40-year-old worked his first bit of magic at Bournemouth. After being spectacularly let go by the club, O’Neil took his magical powers to Wolverhampton.

The club had just parted ways with Julen Lopetegui after the Spaniard got fed up with the lack of transfer business.

Despite this, O’Neil has been able to get a tune out of his squad and has picked up a steady 15 points from 12 games.

What’s his next miracle, turning water into wine? Not quite, it’s actually winning three more points at Craven Cottage.

Marco Silva’s men are a shadow of the team that instilled fear into the opposition last season.

Fulham enter the weekend having picked up one point from their last four Premier League outings. The Cottagers sit 15th in the standings with their main problem being an evident lack of goals.

 

 

Silva’s men have scored just 10 goals in the league this season – only Burnley have found the back of the net on fewer occasions.

Bearing all that in mind, we’re backing Wolves to continue their six-match unbeaten run against Fulham.

Each of Wolves’ last nine Monday night Premier League outings saw both teams score. The visitors will resume that run with a 2-1 win at Craven Cottage.

 

Team news

Rodrigo Muniz, Issa Diop and Joao Palhinha are all out of action for Fulham. Tosin Adarabioyo is a doubt.

Wolves, on the other hand, will be without Joseph Hodge, Pedro Neto and Craig Dawson.

Nelson Semedo, Santiago Bueno, Matt Doherty and Mario Lemina could return to action.
