The Oracle sees a cagey, low-event battle defined by Wolves’ chronic away scoring issues and Fulham’s sturdier home metrics.</p> <h3>Form and Context</h3> <p>Fulham arrive on a four-match losing streak, but that headline masks a stark home/away split. At the Cottage, Marco Silva’s side average 1.75 points per game with only 0.75 goals conceded per match. Wolves, by contrast, are winless in nine (0-2-7) and have taken just one point from four away matches, averaging a meagre 0.25 goals per game on the road.</p> <h3>Team News and Availability</h3> <p>Fulham have concerns over key names: Antonee Robinson, Harry Wilson, Joachim Andersen and Rodrigo Muniz are all listed as doubts. That likely reduces Fulham’s creative ceiling and crossing efficiency, pushing this game toward a lower total. For Wolves, potential absences to Jørgen Strand Larsen, Hee-chan Hwang, Matt Doherty, Ki-Jana Hoever, Toti Gomes, and Jean-Ricner Bellegarde threaten a thin attacking core—worrying for a side already failing to score in 75% of away games.</p> <h3>Tactical Matchups</h3> <p>Fulham’s home matches have been controlled and relatively tight. With Kenny Tete and Timothy Castagne providing width, The Oracle expects an emphasis on delivered balls into Raul Jimenez—especially if Muniz misses out. In midfield, Sander Berge and Saša Lukić should screen transitions, while Bernd Leno’s form (7.14 rating) continues to underpin defensive stability.</p> <p>Wolves’ shape has fluctuated but the themes are constant: industry through João Gomes and Marshall Munetsi, counter-press triggers, but limited end product. On the flanks, Hugo Bueno and Jhon Arias can carry the ball, yet Wolves’ away chance quality remains low. Without a fully fit Hwang or Strand Larsen, the visitors’ penalty-box presence is limited, and second-phase set pieces (often a lifeline away from home) haven’t been consistent.</p> <h3>Goal Timing and Game State</h3> <p>Fulham score the majority after the break (67% of goals in the second half), and Wolves away have conceded early on average (minute 16). The early dynamic should be territorial Fulham without an early blitz; if the hosts grab a lead, their home lead-defending rate is 100%—a significant indicator against a Wolves team that has 0% equalizing rate away and 0% lead defending overall.</p> <h3>Data-Driven Betting Angles</h3> <ul> <li>Under 2.25 goals (1.98): Wolves’ away over 2.5 is 0%; Fulham home over 2.5 just 25%. Both teams’ venue totals average 1.5–2.0 goals per game.</li> <li>Fulham to win (1.83): Home PPG 1.75 vs Wolves away PPG 0.25; Wolves away time trailing 61% and cannot protect leads (0%).</li> <li>Wolves to score “No” (2.25): Wolves fail to score in 75% away; Fulham concede only 0.75 at home; Leno in strong shot-stopping form.</li> <li>Fulham & Under 2.5 (3.75): The profile screams 1-0/2-0. If the hosts edge ahead, game state strongly supports low totals and Fulham control.</li> <li>Corners Over 9.5 (1.80): Despite low expected goals, both sides generate corners—Fulham home averages 12.25 total, Wolves away 11.75; both show 75% incidence of 9.5+.</li> </ul> <h3>Scoreline and Player Watch</h3> <p>Correct Score 1-0 (5.25) fits the statistical picture: Wolves’ away results have been 1-0, 1-1, 2-0, 1-0. If Jimenez starts, narrative and role align with a single decisive moment. Smith Rowe’s late-running threat is a wildcard from the bench if Fulham chase a second.</p> <h3>The Oracle’s Verdict</h3> <p>The numbers point heavily to a low-total home edge: Fulham’s home control versus Wolves’ blunt away attack. The Oracle’s primary stance is on the Under 2.25, layered with a Fulham win and Wolves to fail to score. Expect a disciplined Fulham performance to bank a desperately needed three points in a narrow, attritional contest.</p> </body> </html>
