Crystal Palace vs Wolverhampton Predictions

• Wolves have lost just three of their last 11 matches.
• Palace have scored two or more goals in only one of their last 13 matches.
• Crystal Palace are on a run of two Premier League home defeats in which both teams have scored.

Wolves still showing some bite

Two goal in the last 30 minutes earned Wolves a point in a 2-2 draw with Arsenal on Wednesday, and Wanderers look to be showing some fight still despite having one foot in the Championship for next season.

Sitting 17 points adrift of safety with 11 games to go means it is only a matter of time before the Old Gold are condemned to relegation but that hasn’t stopped them scrapping for every point and they are rarely getting blown away by the opposition.

Just three defeats in 11 outings proves there is still some bite left in Wolves and we predict a rare victory for Wanderers on Sunday as they look to be facing Crystal Palace at just the right time.

Palace’s form is even worse than Wolves’, with the Eagles winning just one of their last 15 matches in all competitions.

The FA Cup holders started the campaign with such optimism following last May’s Wembley win but their form has fallen off a cliff since Oliver Glasner announced he would leave at the end of the season, and the January departure of skipper Marc Guehi.

Travelling likely to take it’s toll

Thursday’s trip to Bosnia & Herzegovina in the Conference League won’t help matters for Palace and Wolves are fancied to take advantage with a 2-1 win.

Neither side are particularly prolific but Wolves bagged a couple of goals against Arsenal on Wednesday, the tightest defence in the Premier League, and they have scored two or more goals in four of their last six meetings with Crystal Palace.

Fatigue could be an issue for Palace following Thursday’s 1-1 draw with Zrinjski Mostar, and Wolves will fancy their chances of winning this contest.

Palace have scored in seven straight matches but only one of those fixtures has seen them score more than once, and goals are proving hard to come by for the Eagles who have scored two or more goals in only one of their last 13 matches.

Wolves can edge to victory and a 2-1 scoreline looks a solid choice for correct-score punters.

Larsen can hound out former pals

Jorgen Strand Larsen scored 15 goals as a Wolves player and could come back to haunt his former side by hitting the back of the net at Selhurst Park on Sunday.

The Norwegian striker opened his account for his new club with a brace against Burnley recently and will be fired up when facing his old pals following his January switch.

Ismaila Sarr remains a constant goal threat for Palace with 13 strikes this term, and with three of those coming in his last four outings, he could be a decent alternative anytime goalscorer option.
