The late game in the Premier League this weekend will be a must-win encounter for Gary O’Neil and his Wolves side against Crystal Palace.

Wolves come into the round sitting in the relegation places, but confidence would have been gained after ending their losing sequence with a late fightback to earn a 2-2 draw at Brighton last Saturday.

Crystal Palace also gained confidence in their recent outing after battling to a first win of the season against Tottenham.

The victory moved the Eagles up to 17th, and a second straight win could open up a five-point advantage over the relegation places.

Odds

An away win for Crystal Palace is preferred based on the BetOnline odds of +170. A home win for Wolves is a value selection at +177, while the draw is priced up at +229.

Crystal Palace boasts the superior head-to-head record against Wolves. The Eagles have won each of the last two, and six of the last seven.

The only win for Wolves over that period was secured at Molineux in April 2023. However, that win remains their home success in Palace’s last three visits. Over 2.5 goals have been scored in three of the last four meetings.

Wolves vs. Crystal Palace Prediction

This is a huge fixture in the context of Wolves’ season, and they can’t afford to lose ground on Crystal Palace if they are to avoid relegation.

Wolves sparked into life with a late showing against the Bees last Saturday, and the confidence gained from that fightback could make them an interesting play to go one better on Saturday.
