H2H: Crystal Palace vs Wolverhampton Wanderers - Prediction (Premier League

H2H: Crystal Palace vs Wolverhampton – Comparison.

Palace’s Wilfried Zaha has scored in two of his previous three PL home matches, taking his overall tally to nine for the season. Meanwhile, Rúben Neves has netted two across his previous four PL appearances for Wolves – both arrived before HT. Only two of Palace’s ten home matches have been goalless at HT.

Crystal Palace Insights.

Crystal Palace fans will be concerned after witnessing their team register just one win from their previous nine Premier League (PL) matches (D4, L4) after they conceded 19 goals during that sequence (2.38 on average per game) – the division’s second-worst tally across that period. Additionally, they conceded after the 75th minute in four of their previous seven PL matches, and it’s during this segment where 33.33% of their total league goals against have arrived so far. The ‘Eagles’ have opened the scoring in six of their ten home league fixtures, including within the first five minutes in their previous two, and have lost just one of those six games (W3, D2). They’ve also netted the opener in three of the previous four home H2Hs, going unbeaten each time despite both teams scoring (W2, D1).

Wolverhampton Insights.

Faltering Wolverhampton Wanderers have picked up as many points as their hosts across the previous eight PL matches, and are winless in seven in the league (D3, L4). Their clean sheet in midweek against Chelsea was their first in the PL since the reverse fixture in October, and will have been a relief for boss Nuno Espírito Santo after his side conceded before the 15th minute in their three prior PL games. Whilst they’ve been conceding prematurely in recent matches, it’s Wolves who are normally at their most dangerous early in the game, particularly on the road where seven of their nine away league goals have arrived before HT. They’ve also scored four of their previous five competitive goals against Palace during the first half.
