This weekend, the Premier League returns with exciting matches, including Wolverhampton Wanderers facing Oliver Glasner’s Crystal Palace at Molineux Stadium on Saturday.

Wolves vs Crystal Palace: Preview

When Evan Ferguson scored to make it 2-0 for Brighton at the Amex with just five minutes left in regular time, Wolves fans might have felt like their team was headed for another tough loss in the Premier League. However, Rayan Ait-Nouri’s fast reply gave the away fans hope once more. After Brighton’s Mats Wieffer missed a clear four-on-one chance, O’Neil’s team pushed forward again and finished off a stunning comeback with Matheus Cunha’s deflected shot. This marked the end of Wolves’ six-game losing streak in all competitions, but they are still searching for their first Premier League win of the 2024-25 season.

On the other hand, Palace finally won a Premier League game as they beat Tottenham Hotspur 1-0. They controlled the game well, with Jean-Philippe Mateta scoring the decisive goal in the first half. Mateta scored with a low shot after a brilliant flick from Eberechi Eze. The 26-year-old alongside Daichi Kamada helped Palace achieve two surprising wins in a row, including a victory against Aston Villa earlier this week.

After a strong performance, Oliver Glasner’s team is enjoying back-to-back victories for the first time since the end of the 2023-24 season. They head into the weekend with a two-point lead over Ipswich Town and have a much better goal difference than the Tractor Boys.

Wolves vs Crystal Palace: Team News

Wolves Manager O’Neil had to take Mario Lemina off at halftime during the draw against Brighton because of a calf problem. However, he believes that his captain will recover in time to play on Saturday evening. Goalkeeper Sam Johnstone, who has been dealing with a groin issue, might return to the lineup. The 31-year-old is eager to play against his former team, especially after Jose Sa made a mistake that led to Welbeck’s goal.

Currently, Sasa Kalajdzic, Enso Gonzalez, Yerson Mosquera, Boubacar Traore, Hwang Hee-chan, and Bastien Meupiyou are all sidelined due to injuries. Hwang Hee-chan has a slight chance of returning before the international break, but the rest remain out for now. Palace celebrated a win against Villa, but it came with a heavy price. Both Eze and Adam Wharton had to leave the game early due to injuries. Eze is dealing with a hamstring problem and is expected to miss the next match. Although, Glasner informed the media that he was “very positive” Wharton would be back soon.

Jefferson Lerma is dealing with a thigh issue, Chadi Riad has a knee problem, Matheus Franca is struggling with a groin injury, and Chris Richards is also out with a thigh injury. Cheick Doucoure is uncertain due to a toe concern, and Rob Holding has been excluded from the team following a disagreement with Glasner.

Wolves vs Crystal Palace: Head-to-Head

In the last seven encounters between these two teams, Wolves managed to secure just one win, a 2-0 triumph. While Crystal Palace have dominated the rest of the matches. In the last ten clashes, it’s interesting to point out that the teams have only exchanged goals on three occasions.

Wolves vs Crystal Palace: Possible Starting Lineups

Wolverhampton Wanderers: Sa (GK), S. Bueno, Toti, Dawson, Semedo, Lemina, Doyle, Ait-Nouri, Gomes, Cunha, Larsen

Crystal Palace: Henderson (GK), Chalobah, Lacroix, Guehi, Munoz, Kamada, Hughes, Mitchell, Sarr, Mateta, Nketiah

Wolves vs Crystal Palace: Prediction

Wolves have seen 37 goals in their Premier League games this season, while Palace have seen just 17 goals. Wolves should finally get their long-awaited win thanks to their penchant for scoring goals. O’Neil’s squad will enter the match with a complete week of recovery, while a weary Palace side grapples with the absence of crucial players Wharton and Eze. It’s hard to fathom how they could secure a positive result on their visit to Molineux. Our prediction: Wolverhampton Wanderers 3- 1 Crystal Palace
