Wolverhampton vs Fulham

This is a typical 'dead rubber' fixture with Wolves already relegated and Fulham secure in the middle of the table. Molineux is no longer a fortress, and the atmosphere is expected to be resigned. Weather is predicted to be mild (16°C) with typical UK overcast skies, which won't significantly favor either side's technical play.

The probability weight is aggressively shifted toward Fulham clean-sheet wins (0-1, 0-2, 0-3) due to Wolves' season-long failure to score in 50%+ of matches and the specific absence of their top two goalkeepers.
