Wolverhampton

vs

Crystal Palace

Preview

Wolves

• Wolves are on an 11-game winless streak in the Premier League, losing four of five at home.
• Wolves’ most recent defeat was a 3-0 loss at Chelsea in the league, but that result doesn’t tell the full story of their woeful campaign to date or offer much hope for those seeking Wolverhampton vs Crystal Palace betting tips.

Crystal Palace

• Oliver Glasner’s men are in their best form of the season, winning three and drawing one of their last five games, including a 2-0 Premier League victory over Brentford and a 3-1 Conference League success against AZ Alkmaar.
• With 17 points from 11 games, the Eagles are flying high in 10th position in the Premier League table and this matchup will be a good test of Glasner’s team’s progress, especially in their ability to cope with Wolves’ new back-three system - a key factor when looking at Wolverhampton vs Crystal Palace betting tips.

Head-to-Head

Key Players

• Palace have made their mark in both attack and defence in recent weeks, with Jean-Philippe Mateta top scoring with six goals in 11 appearances in the Premier League this season and Ismaila Sarr chipping in with two goals in their last four.
• David Moeller Wolfe has been one of the few bright spots of their campaign, scoring two of their last five goals and offering a threat from midfield that has otherwise been overrun by opponents.

Betting Insights

• We’re taking Palace to take the points because they have better form, a sharper attack and a more solid defence, which is reflected in the odds of 2.06 for the visitors compared to Wolves’ 3.9.
• But with Wolves scoring just six goals in five home league games, they can’t be trusted to score against a compact Palace, so Under 2.5 goals at 1.88 looks a stronger alternative play in the betting.

Prediction

• We’re taking Palace to take the points.
• Expect a tight game with Under 2.5 goals a sensible market to consider.
