Wolves v. Crystal Palace: Matchweek 10 Preview
Wolves
Wolverhampton Wanderers will be looking to continue their good form when they host Crystal Palace at Molineux on Saturday. Wolves have won their last two Premier League matches, including an impressive 2-1 victory over Chelsea last time out. Bruno Lage's side are now up to eighth in the table, and they will be confident of pushing on for a top-half finish this season.
Wolves have a strong record at home this season, having won four of their five matches at Molineux. They will be without the suspended Joao Moutinho for this game, but they have plenty of other quality options in midfield. Ruben Neves, Leander Dendoncker, and Matheus Nunes are all capable of controlling the tempo of the game, and they will be looking to create chances for the likes of Raul Jimenez and Hwang Hee-chan.
Key players:
- Raul Jimenez (striker)
- Ruben Neves (midfielder)
- Leander Dendoncker (midfielder)
Crystal Palace
Crystal Palace have had a mixed start to the season, but they will be looking to build on their recent 2-1 win over Leeds United when they travel to Molineux. Patrick Vieira's side are currently 12th in the table, and they will be hoping to move into the top half with a win on Saturday.
Palace have a good away record this season, having won two of their four matches on the road. They will be without the suspended Wilfried Zaha for this game, but they have other dangerous attacking players in their squad. Eberechi Eze, Michael Olise, and Odsonne Edouard are all capable of creating and scoring goals, and they will be looking to make life difficult for the Wolves defense.
Key players:
- Eberechi Eze (midfielder)
- Michael Olise (midfielder)
- Odsonne Edouard (striker)
Head-to-head
The head-to-head record between Wolves and Crystal Palace is evenly matched, with both teams having won three of their last six meetings. The most recent meeting between the two sides was a 2-0 win for Wolves at Molineux in March 2022.
Prediction
This is a tough game to call, but I think Wolves will just edge it. They are in good form at the moment, and they have a strong record at home. Crystal Palace are a dangerous team going forward, but I think Wolves will be able to control the game in midfield and create enough chances to win the match.
Prediction: Wolves 2-1 Crystal Palace
