Wolvesvs.Fulham

Vitor Pereira's side now possess a healthy five-point lead over the relegation zone thanks to Saturday's 1-0 win over a 10-man Bournemouth side, their third triumph from their last four across all competitions.

In contrast, the Cottagers' European aspirations were damaged in a 2-0 home defeat to London rivals Crystal Palace over the weekend, and memories of their recent clashes with Wolves are not exactly fond.

Here, Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at the head-to-head record and previous meetings between the two sides.

Head-to-head record

Previous meetings: 99

Wolves wins: 47

Draws: 25

Fulham wins: 27

When Wolverhampton Wanderers and Fulham lock horns at Molineux in February 2025, it will mark a milestone meeting between the two clubs, who have done battle with one another on 99 occasions down the years.

The West Midlands team hold the bragging rights by some distance, overcoming Fulham in 47 of those matches and only suffering 27 losses, while another 25 contests have ended with the points split.

Victories over Wolves have been a rarity for the Cottagers ever since the turn of the millennium, and the London side now only have one success to show from their last nine against Wolves, who have won their last two in a row.

Before Gary O'Neil was given the boot by his Molineux bosses, he masterminded a fabulous 4-1 comeback triumph for Wolves at Craven Cottage in November 2024, eight months after the Old Gold had also beaten Fulham 2-1 on home turf.

Those two successes saw Wolves avenge an agonising 3-2 loss to Fulham in November 2023, where Willian scored his second penalty of the game deep into added-on time to propel the Cottagers to an enthralling victory.

However, Wolves have now gone unbeaten in eight straight home games against their capital counterparts, who have not won at Molineux since a 2014-15 FA Cup third-round replay, and even then they needed penalties to advance after an engrossing 3-3 draw.

Incredibly, Fulham have to travel all the way back to 1985 for their most recent league win away to Wolves, a 4-0 Division Two thumping in April 1985, and the most emphatic victory in this head-to-head belongs to the Old Gold, who annihilated the Cottagers 9-0 in a September 1959 First Division affair.

Among the documented scorers in this particular fixture, ex-Wolves winger Norman Deeley and former Fulham striker Maurice Cook lead the way with six goals each.
