Wolves are preparing to welcome Fulham to Molineux for Game Week 27 in the Premier League.
The two teams will meet in the Midlands for an important mid-week matchup. Vitor Pereira is hoping to make it two wins from two after Wolves beat Bournemouth last time out.
Elsewhere, Fulham are looking to bounce straight back after suffering a surprising 2-0 defeat at home to Crystal Palace.
If the Cottagers are going to leave Molineux with anything though, they’ll need to find a way to stop one Wolves star though — a player who has terrorised them every time he’s faced them.

Matheus Cunha recent goalscoring record against Fulham
Matheus Cunha has a great record against Fulham — he’s scored three in his last three against Marco Silva’s men and will be hopeful of more of the same when the teams meet on Tuesday.
Here is how the 25-year-old has fared against the Cottagers in their two previous meetings.
Wolves 1-0 Fulham (March, 2023)
Cunha scored the only goal of the game in a 1-0 Premier League victory for Wolves against Fulham at Molineux back in March 2023.
This goal was his first against the Cottagers since joining from Atletico Madrid.
Fulham 1-4 Wolves (November, 2024)
Cunha netted a brace in Wolves’ emphatic 4-1 away victory against Fulham earlier in the 2024-25 season.
The Brazilian’s equaliser; his first of the match, came in the 31st minute, with his second, which made the score 3-1, being a long-range effort in the 87th minute.
The South American also registered an assist after setting up Joao Gomes earlier in the match. Unsurprisingly, this performance saw him crowned the best player of the match.
His importance is obvious
Cunha’s impressive individual record against Fulham, which sees him with three goals and one assist in his last three appearances, proves his importance.
The former Atletico Madrid man has consistently shown he’s the Old Gold’s most important player, so Pereira will ask for more of the same when he names Cunha in his Wolves starting 11 to play Fulham.
Wolves’ recent victory away to Bournemouth has put them in the driving seat to secure Premier League survival but the Wolves manager will know that with 12 games still to go, his side cannot afford to take their foot off the gas.
Wolves vs Fulham is scheduled to kick-off at 7.30 p.m. GMT and has been selected for live broadcast in the UK. The match is being shown on TNT Sports 4, with coverage beginning at 6.30 p.m.
