Wolverhampton vs Crystal Palace Prediction

Wolverhampton Form

Showing inconsistent form, Wolverhampton lost two of their past three matches, going down 0-1 against Bournemouth, before beating Luton 2-1. The joy was short-lived, as Manchester City proved too strong in a 5-1 defeat. Wolverhampton won three of their previous six matches at Molineux Stadium in the Premier League. They drew zero and suffered three defeats, scoring six goals to seven against.

Crystal Palace Form

Crystal Palace look in good shape before their upcoming match as they seek to remain unbeaten. In their last three matches, they first beat Newcastle by 2-0, before drawing 1-1 with Fulham. They were back as winners last time out, when they took out Manchester United by a 4-0 scoreline. Crystal Palace managed to win just once in their past six away games in the Premier League. On top of winning once they also drew three as well as losing two, while scoring seven time and letting in five.

The two teams rate more or less equal at the bookies, but in current form, and with Wolverhampton looking a little out of sorts, Crystal Palace no doubt offers the value bet here.

Wolverhampton recorded 22 points following six wins from their last 12 games against teams placed among the bottom six. They scored 18 goals, but also conceded 11. Wolverhampton claimed 13 wins, seven draws as well as 16 defeats in the Premier League this season. Crystal Palace have a record of 11 wins, ten draws and 15 defeats in the Premier League.
