Crystal Palace vs Wolves Prediction & Betting Tips - Premier League

Prediction published on 01/09/2023, 15:24  by Daniel Ngulu in Premier League Predictions

Crystal Palace will seek to register their first English Premier League home win of the season when they host Wolves on Sunday. The hosts head into this match in 11th place in the standings while Wolves are down in 15th. Crystal Palace lost their first home game of the season at home by a solitary goal to Arsenal. This was their first defeat of a campaign that has started slowly. Roy Hodgson’s men have amassed four points from their opening three matches. They began the season with a 1-0 win away to promoted Sheffield United but they have since been unable to replicate that result. Palace drew 1-1 away to Brentford in their last league match. But as they arrive for this match off the back of a win, they will be confident of turning things around here. Seven changes were made to the squad that defeated Plymouth Argyle 4-2 in midweek in the League Cup. Jean-Phillipe Mateta scored a hattrick and could be in the running to make his first league start here.

Wolves haven’t won away to Palace since October 2018. This is a stretch of four matches with the last three ending in defeat. They have however won two of the last three encounters with Palace which should have them confident going into this match. To build up their confidence even more is the fact that the visitors have won their last two matches. Gary O’Neil’s men thumped League One side Blackpool 5-0 at home in midweek to advance to the third round of the League Cup. Four players were on the scoresheet at the Molineux with Matt Doherty grabbing a brace. Wolves started the campaign with back-to-back defeats so they will be pleased with how they have responded. The Wanderers earned their first win of the season last weekend as they won 1-0 away to Everton.
