Wolves have won ten of their last 16 meetings with Fulham, including both of the last two; the Cottagers are winless in 18 visits to Molineux, dating back to 1985.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Fulham Preview

After claiming a vital victory at the weekend, can Wolverhampton Wanderers pull further clear of the relegation zone? On Saturday, Wolves claimed a surprise 1-0 victory at Bournemouth; Matheus Cunha scoring the afternoon's only goal, coming five minutes after the hosts were reduced to ten-men.

Vítor Pereira's side have now won two of their last three, also beating Aston Villa at home earlier this month, putting in a spirited display in defeat at Anfield in-between. As a result, Wolves have now opened up a five point gap between themselves and bottom-three dwellers Leicester and Ipswich, now seeking another win that would propel them three points closer to safety.

Fulham meantime were very disappointing on Saturday, beaten 2-0 by Crystal Palace at Craven Cottage, with Joachim Andersen the scorer of an own goal against his former side. Before this, Marco Silva's side had enjoyed back-to-back victories over Newcastle and then Nottingham Forest, suggesting they were serious European contenders.

Now though, the Whites have slipped down to tenth, albeit just two points adrift the final potential European spot, but the Cottagers will be determined to get back to winning ways in the Black Country. Well, considering Fulham have lost just one of their last eight away league games, many will make them favourites at Molineux.

Wolverhampton Wanderers Team News

Yerson Mosquera, Enso González, Saša Kalajdžić and Hwang Hee-chan remain sidelined long-term but, in better news, Jørgen Strand Larsen came off the bench at half time on Saturday, his first appearance since suffering a hamstring injury against Arsenal.

Meantime, January signing Emmanuel Agbadou, who'd looked very impressive since arriving from Reims, is sidelined for a few weeks with a hamstring injury of his own. Santiago Bueno deputised as part of the back three at the weekend, but Nasser Djiga, who's just arrived from Crvena zvezda, could make his full-debut in defence.

Wolverhampton Wanderers predicted lineup vs Fulham: (3-4-2-1): José Sá; Doherty, Toti, Bueno; Semedo, André, João Gomes, Aït-Nouri; Bellegarde, Strand Larsen, Cunha.

Wolverhampton Wanderers Player to Watch vs Fulham

Matheus Cunha took his tally to 14 for the season on Saturday, netting in a third match on the spin, two of which came during Wolves' thumping win at Craven Cottage in November.

Fulham Team News

Kenny Tete and Harry Wilson remain sidelined long-term, while Reiss Nelson may well have played his last match for Fulham, following hamstring surgery last week. Despite defeat at the weekend, Marco Silva could well name an unchanged lineup, given that his team has remained very settled.

Saša Lukić has nine yellow cards to his name this season, the joint-most of any player, and another here would see him sit out the Cottagers' next two fixtures, Brighton (A) and Spurs (H) suspended.

Fulham predicted lineup vs Wolverhampton Wanderers: (4-2-3-1): Leno; Castagne, Andersen, Bassey, Robinson; Berge, Lukić, Troaré, Smith Rowe, Iwobi; Jiménez.

Fulham Player to Watch vs Wolverhampton Wanderers

Raúl Jiménez made 166 appearances for Wolves, scoring 57 times in old gold, and this will be his first outing at Molineux since departing, seeking to score against them for the very first time.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Fulham Prediction

We think this Tuesday night clash is very tough to call, so we're sitting on the fence and forecasting a score draw, with Wolves making home advantage count to earn a point: Wolverhampton Wanderers 1-1 Fulham.
