In Saturday’s mid-table clash at Molineux, Wolverhampton Wanderers face off against Fulham, both teams coming from contrasting 3-0 scorelines in last weekend’s Premier League fixtures.
Wolves, managed by Gary O’Neil, suffered a convincing defeat to Newcastle United in gameweek 27. Meanwhile, Fulham put three past a subdued Brighton & Hove Albion without conceding a goal.
Wolves arrived at St James’ Park aiming to extend their impressive run of six unbeaten away games, which included notable wins against Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur. However, O’Neil’s side lost their sharpness on the counter-attack, leading to a defeat against Newcastle United in the North East.
The Magpies, mirroring Wolves’ own style, swiftly turned defensive plays into attacking opportunities. Alexander Isak opened the scoring early on, followed by Anthony Gordon’s opportunistic strike and Tino Livramento’s smart finish, securing a decisive victory for Newcastle.
Following their first away loss in the top flight since Christmas, Wolves slipped below Newcastle in the Premier League standings. They also missed the chance to overtake Brighton, who were defeated by Fulham. Nonetheless, O’Neil’s team still holds onto a respectable 10th place in the league.
Wolves are within touching distance of European contention, with just a four-point gap separating them from seventh-placed West Ham United. They could also secure European football through the FA Cup, with a winnable quarter-final against Coventry City on the horizon.
Before turning their attention to potential Wembley dreams, Wolves are focused on securing a third consecutive home win. They come into this match following 1-0 victories over Sheffield United and Brighton in the league and cup respectively. Additionally, the hosts have scored in nineteen of their last twenty top-flight games at Molineux, showcasing their attacking prowess.
