Crystal Palace vs Wolves: Premier League Match Preview & Predictions
The upcoming Premier League match between Crystal Palace and Wolverhampton Wanderers is scheduled for Saturday at 10 am ET at Selhurst Park in South London, with live streaming available on Peacock. Wolves, currently in 20th place, have shown signs of improvement under Rob Edwards, with Chris Sutton noting they have "turned a bit of a corner" and are "being competitive now." Despite drawing Liverpool and Nottingham Forest in recent back-to-back matches, they remain 17 points off safety. Their recent form includes one win, five draws, and three losses in their last nine Premier League games since December 30. Key players out for Wolves include Hee-chan Hwang (calf), with Toti Gomes (hamstring) and Angel Gomes (lower back) questionable. Crystal Palace, while eight points above the bottom three, are experiencing a challenging period, with a record of one win, three draws, and seven losses since mid-December, a significant drop from their fourth-place standing earlier in the season. Injuries for Palace include Jefferson Lerma (thigh), Jean-Philippe Mateta (personal), Eddie Nketiah (thigh), and Cheick Doucoure (knee). Chris Sutton predicts a 2-1 victory for Crystal Palace, highlighting Jorgen Strand Larsen, who moved from Wolves to Palace for £48m in January, to score the winner. In contrast, Premier League Soccer Talk (PST) predicts a 1-1 draw, suggesting Wolves might not secure a win but will deliver a strong performance. Crystal Palace previously defeated Wolves 2-0 in the reverse fixture.
