Recent form and trends in both teams’ attacking and defensive performances, particularly their respective home and away records, strongly suggest goals from both sides are on the cards.

The Cottagers have been solid at Craven Cottage, securing 4 of their 7 league victories at home. Their matches at this ground highlight a balance of attacking prowess and defensive frailties. With a +1 goal difference, Fulham average 1.56 goals scored per game but concede an equally concerning 1.44 on average. This vulnerability has resulted in BTTS landing in all but one of their home fixtures this season.

Before their 0-0 stalemate against Southampton just before Christmas, Fulham boasted a perfect BTTS record at home, further emphasising their trend for high-scoring encounters.

The Cherries arrive at Craven Cottage flying high in the European qualification spots. Their away form has been instrumental in their success, showcasing a +2 goal difference. Bournemouth score at a slightly higher rate on the road than their hosts, averaging 1.78 goals per game, but their defensive record mirrors Fulham’s home output, conceding 1.56 on average. This combination has seen BTTS land in 6 of their 9 away league matches.

Given the consistent trends from both teams, Fulham’s strong BTTS record at home and Bournemouth’s similar tendency on the road, this match is primed for goals at both ends. With both sides pushing to bolster their European ambitions, expect an entertaining affair.

Under Ange Postecoglou, Spurs have become a team synonymous with high-scoring, unpredictable football. They combine moments of attacking brilliance with periods of defensive frailty, making their fixtures a magnet for goals. Tottenham boast an overall goals-per-game average of 3.6, which skyrockets to 4.4 when playing at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Their attacking exploits at home have been particularly remarkable, with 7 of their 9 home Premier League matches featuring 3 or more goals. Recent form has amplified this trend, as Spurs’ last 3 home fixtures across all competitions have delivered an astonishing 23 goals, averaging an incredible 7.67 goals per game.

Wolves, who currently sit outside the relegation zone after an impressive 2-0 victory over Man United on Boxing Day, possess the league’s highest goals-per-game average at 3.8. Their defensive vulnerabilities are stark, and they hold the dubious honour of having the league’s worst defensive record.

However, their propensity to concede is matched by a willingness to attack, leading to a high-scoring trend in their matches. Wolves have seen 78% of their league games this season exceed the 2.5 goal threshold. On the road, this pattern remains consistent, with all their last 8 away fixtures across all competitions delivering 3 or more goals.

With both sides offering plenty of attacking threat and defensive fragility, the conditions are perfect for another goal-filled spectacle. Tottenham’s relentless attacking form at home combined with Wolves’ defensive struggles and ability to contribute offensively make over 2.5 goals a highly probable outcome.
