Fulham haven’t been able to win their last 4 Premier League games. However, the opponents were tough. They were beaten by Tottenham (0:2), Manchester United (0:1) and Aston Villa (1:3), which was expected. And they ended the game versus Brighton in a draw (1:1), which is a very good result for Fulham. Palinha levelled the score in that match. The Cottagers played 2 games without him, with at least 2,2 xG in each.
Wolverhampton play brightly in this season, but with controversial results. They managed to beat Tottenham in the last round, yet they lost the game versus one of the outsiders Sheffield United (1:2) a round before that. The Wolves ended the games against Aston Villa (1:1) and Newcastle (2:2) in a draw and beat Manchester City (2:1). Wolverhampton have managed to keep the clean sheet only once in their 12 games.
Both teams have problems as they’re amongst the last 5 teams in expected goals against. However, the situation seems to be terrible for Fulham. They concede 1,83 xG per game on average and their key defensive midfielder Palinha will miss this game. He’s the best in the team in the number of tackles (69).
Many goals can be scored I believe as Fulham will fail their defensive game without Palinha.
Everton: -8 Points
Nottingham Forest: -4 Points
