Crystal Palace vs Wolves prediction: ENGLAND: Premier League betting tips on match 2022-10-17 19:15.
Crystal Palace held off Leicester City to draw their latest Premier League (PL) game 0-0 without really looking like scoring themselves, as they battled to their sixth goalless league draw under manager Patrick Vieira. The Palace boss admitted afterwards there was âfrustrationâ, but also that his Eagles side would âtake the pointâ, adding that his side played most of the game with the handbrake on.
Quickly back in PL action, Palace will need to shift through the gears to put Wolverhampton Wanderers under pressure if Vieira is to uphold a perfect H2H managerial record (W2). With Palace slumping to only one defeat in six home H2H meetings (W4, D1), the Eagles ought to be more comfortable here despite an indifferent home PL record this term (W2, D1, L2).
Wolves are still managerless after former Sevilla boss Julen Lopetegui turned down the chance to head to Molineux, while an emotional return for Nuno EspĂrito Santo appears unlikely. Encouragingly though, Saturdayâs 1-0 win over fellow strugglers Nottingham Forest â a game in which Wolves scored and then saved a penalty â lifted them out of the relegation zone after they became the last team to finally net after the break in the PL this term.
Interim bosses Steve Davis and James Collins expect to take charge for this trip to London and must try to get the wayward Wolves to notch their first league away goal since their opening game of the season (D1, L4 overall). Three of those four away defeats came âto nilâ in the capital, leaving Wolves with their work cut out to stop the wheels falling off inside the M25 once again.
Players to watch: Nobodyâs scored more goals (four) than Palaceâs Wilfried Zaha in this fixture, with three of those coming between the 60th and 75th minute. RĂșben Neves netted against Forest to make it nine games unbeaten when scoring for Wolves (W7, D2).
Hot stat: Eight of the last nine H2Hs saw the scoring confined to one half (W4, D1, L4).
