Wolves vs Crystal Palace prediction: ENGLAND: Premier League betting tips on match 2024-05-10 14:00.
[p]After a Premier League season full of ups and downs, Wolverhampton Wanderers end their home league campaign here after failing to win seven of their last eight league games at any venue (D2, L5). That run has left them in the bottom half, but securing back-to-back victories at Molineux here will keep them in with a shout of a top-ten finish ahead of their final-day trip to Liverpool. [/p]
[p]Returning to form is by no means guaranteed based on recent trends, as Wolves haven’t finished any of their last three seasons with a win in their final home game (D2, L1) – coincidentally last triumphing in such an encounter against upcoming opponents Crystal Palace. Being solid from the outset will be key in ending that sour streak, as only the bottom three sides in the division have trailed at the interval more times this campaign than Wolves’ 13, with no fewer than seven of those half-time deficits coming on their own turf.  [/p]
[p]Palace were on cloud nine last time out as they recorded their first-ever Premier League double over Manchester United with what manager Oliver Glasner called a “great performance”. That victory extended the Eagles’ soaring unbeaten streak to five games (W4, D1) as they now have the chance to leapfrog their hosts in the table with a win. [/p]
[p]That’s not a certainty though, as Palace haven’t won their final away league match in any of the last four seasons (D1, L3) and enter this clash having prevailed in just one of their last 12 top-flight games on their travels (D5, L6). That’s not to mention the largely disappointing run of away H2H results that the Londoners have posted this decade, which have all seen the side scoring first go on to win without reply (W1, L4).[/p]
[p]Players to watch: Hwang Hee-Chan’s goal at Manchester City last weekend wasn’t enough to spare Wolves’ blushes, but he has now scored his team’s opener in successive matches. Looking to outdo him will be Palace’s Michael Olise, who has incredibly hit 13 goal contributions (G9, A4) from just 12 starts in what has been an injury-hit for the talented playmaker. [/p]
[p]Hot stat: Wolves have seen both teams score in 24 of their Premier League games this season – only three sides have seen it happen more often. [/p]
