Despite the fact that Wolves achieved the previous time -out a big victory over Bournemouth, Vitor Pereira still wants to make improvements against Fulham in the Premier League on Tuesday.
Wolves remain in the 17th, one place above the relegation zone, but their victory over the cherry on Saturday brought them five points from the vicinity of the drop.
The side of Pereira has only lost one of their last three games, the other two won, and another victory in Molineux, where they have a good record against Fulham, would again be a big boost in their fight at the top of the to stay upper flight.
While Pereira was satisfied with the display on his side against 10-man Bournemouth, he noted that Wolves had to be at their best with a heavy test ahead.
“[The win over Bournemouth] Was good, but the most important is the next one, “said Pereira.” The next one is against Fulham, and it's very important to us. I expect our best version on Tuesday.
“We can improve many things; score goals if we get opportunities and defend well, because this is a very good team with a very good coach.
“They have worked together for the past three years; they are consistent and have very good players. But we have to look at ourselves and compete to get the three points.”

Fulham wants to go back on Saturday from a disappointing 2-0 defeat in Crystal Palace, who came after two consecutive top flights.
The Cottagers belong to the chase package for a place in Europe next season, which is currently at 39 points 10th, only four points behind in seventh place Chelsea.
Marco Silva remained disappointed by their show against Palace, but knows that his team will take on a challenge on Tuesday.
“If you have that kind of game where you don't play at the level you wanted, and of course we have to be the best way to play a quick game,” Silva said.
“Hard game away from home, where we have really, really competitive, have achieved good results, also have very good performance and make life difficult at every side in every stadium of the country.
“And we want to do the same and, more than that, respond to the last version and the last result.”

Match -Prepeling: Fulham Win
Fulham has won five Premier League matches this season and only won more in the competition in 2022-23 (seven). They won their last two on the road and last won three consecutively in the top in April and May 2008 under Roy Hodgson.
Wolves are Winless in their last 10 Premier League evening kick-offs (7 p.m. or later) since a 4-1 victory in Brentford in December 2023 (D2 L8). They have lost each of their last seven in a row, including all five this season with a total score of 15-2.
However, this is expected to be a tight game, given the impressive recent run from Wolves against Fulham. In fact, Pereira's side hopes for the second time in the Premier League after a 4-1 win in Craven Cottage in November to do the double over the cottagers.
Fulham has only won one of their last nine Premier League matches against Wolves (D3 L5) and defeated them 3-2 in Craven Cottage in November 2023.
None of their eight Premier League matches have lost wolves against Fulham (W6 D2), the most that they have confronted with an opponent in Molineux without ever losing the competition.
