Let's dig into the top odds and picks for Matchday 2 of the English Premier League (EPL): Saturday's match between Wolves vs. Fulham.
Despite having the luxury of playing at home this week, the Wolves did little in their opening week to inspire confidence they can take advantage. In their 1-2 defeat on the road at Leeds, the Wolves didn’t have much in the way of a formidable attack against a team in Leeds that was all but asking for it. Led by Aleksandar Mitrovic, who scored in the match, Fulham has already shown they are going to be a problem this year and will look to take another step forward this season after earning their promotion in the spring.

He stressed that goals would flow and on the evidence of the entertaining performance against the Cottagers there is every reason for him to have been so upbeat. Yet even this early in the season a Fulham win would have been seen as one of the great smash-and-grab acts of the whole campaign. Had Sa not reacted so brilliantly in clawing away that 81st-minute spot-kick Mitrovic would have been able to laugh in the face of those who saw he can’t handle life in the much brighter lights of the top flight.

Wolves' aspirations are to have an excellent campaign in the Premier League and in the rest of the English team's competitions. The team underwent a number of major changes and was forced to make several moves to improve the squad ahead of a new adventure in the Premier League. Fulham will seek to be one of the protagonists in the Premier League and reach new heights in all the championships in which they participate. Wolverhampton begins a new campaign in the Premier League and with the aim of getting back into the positions that are fighting for positions in UEFA competitions. Fulham comes to this duel with the aim of the team fighting to stay in the Premier League, after closing last season in the EFL Championship champion and achieving promotion to the first division with 90 points, after 27 wins. The Fulham striker is one of the most important figures in the team, he seeks to continue his development in the team and now, with the greater possibility that the team will fight to avoid relegation, he will be able to have many more minutes to show his quality and help the team stay in the Premier League. During the past season he played 46 games, where he had 43 goals and 7 assists. Now, his main objective is to consecrate himself as an important piece of the team's forward line and continue showing the great level of last season.

Aleksandar Mitrovic had a late penalty saved as Fulham played out a goalless draw with Wolves at Molineux.
The frustration following his weak spot-kick, however, boiled over as a challenge on Morgan Gibson-White led to the pair squaring up to each other and both receiving a booking in added time. Mitrovic had been quiet for most of the game and his only chance of note prior to the penalty was a ballooned shot into the stands during the first 45 minutes. The Cottagers almost gifted the home team a goal a few moments later following a mix-up in defence between Rodak and Tosin Adarabioyo, but neither Neto nor Podence could capitalise on the mistake.

However, they were struggling to create any clear chances as the performance hit a lull after 65 minutes. Just after the half-hour mark Wolves created the biggest chances of the game and should have taken the lead. Bobby Decordova-Reid had a free header that was destined for the bottom corner but Ruben Neves made a last-ditch clearance to save Wolves. In a boiling Molineux, Wolves got the Fulham defence all hot and bothered as they created a massive chance within just three minutes. He took a touch, with a tight angle, and then lost it before Podence followed up and fired wide. Fosun chairman Guo Guangchang was in attendance at Molineux, watching his first competitive fixture since before the pandemic.
George Rossiter returns to dissect the individual performances in yesterdays's draw with Wolves.
6/10 for both His versatility will continue to prove invaluable to Silva. 7/10 4/10. The day this man drops below a 7/10 will put me in a state of shock. 9/10 – Man of the match. 7.5/10.

But Rodak spilled the ball when he collided with team-mate Tosin Adarabioyo, allowing Neto a run at goal. Missing penalties is part of the life of a football player.’ Last week he had one and scored; this afternoon, it was the moment to win the game but it is part of Mitro’s job. ‘That is part of the game. We had plenty of chances to do that,’ Lage said. Andreas Pereira showed some neat touches and Neeskens Kebano was Fulham’s biggest threat. The Molineux fans howled for the red card that would have compounded Mitrovic’s misery. He’d barely had a kick all afternoon, let alone a sniff of a decent chance. His penalty lacked the necessary power or direction, and Sa guessed correctly. He dashed back and brought down Morgan Gibbs-White from behind. After his penalty miss, Mitrovic’s fury bubbled over in stoppage time. Aleksandar Mitrovic has endured his fair share of frustration playing Premier League football.
A game where we should have won with the chances we had, it's clear we still need a few signings, particularly in an attacking sense. W.
Whatever your opinion is of Adama he is at the very least a good option to have, and we have seen it time and time again where we turn to him as a plan B to make something happen. We could have easily lost the game, when Ait-Nouri had a rush of blood to the head and fouled in the box. I’m still not quite sure how we didn’t make the most of their defensive mix up with Neto having the goal at his mercy, which perhaps should probably have been a telling sign it was going to be one of those days in front of goal. We could and should have won the game and I guess we’re one point better off already compared to last season. He lost complete control of the game in the last 10 minutes and made some bizarre decisions when it came to bookings. We did have options on the bench though, with Traore and Semedo back from injury and you can’t fault the timing of subs. Also good to see the bench looking stronger with Guedes and Traore, who both had quiet cameos, but can and will have a big impact for Wolves this season if we are to be successful. This is hard on Bruno as the first two games were both winnable and ones you would expect to get a minimum four points from. Whilst saying that I feel Dendoncker played well again and justified his position in the starting XI, not that there is much competition at the moment, but I do think Wolves need to bring in a replacement to partner Neves. A midfielder who can carry the ball forward and link the game because whilst there were positive moments, there wasn’t any constant pressure to the Fulham defence, especially in the second half, where bar Gibbs-White's sliding shot over the bar I don’t feel we caused them enough problems, when they were there for the taking. Overall we were the better team and got in some promising positions, especially the Neto opportunity where it then fell to Podence, still struggling now to see how we didn’t score there. With Guo Guangchang and Jorge Mendes at Molineux, we can all hope and assume that there are deals to be worked on before the window shuts. There was some signs of improvement, following the defeat to Leeds, but how long do we need to cry out for a striker?
A new season is supposed to bring an abundance of optimism but, for Wolverhampton Wanderers, a fresh start has quickly faded into a tale of familiar woe.
