Crystal Palace vs Wolves tips: Eagles to continue home hoodoo over Wanderers
- Robbie Savage
- 2 September 2023
Planet Sport's Robbie Savage believes Crystal Palace will inflict another defeat on Wolves.
Crystal Palace take on Wolves.
Both teams scoring goals in the Carabao Cup in midweek. Wolves getting five. Crystal Palace, with changes at halftime, getting four goals.
There will be goals in this one. Crystal Palace have won their last three home games against Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League.
I tell you what, make it four in a row. Goals in this game. I'm going Crystal Palace two, Wolves one.
Robbie’s Pick: Crystal Palace 2-1 Wolves
Team news
New Crystal Palace signing Dean Henderson will not be in contention following his switch from Manchester United ahead of the transfer deadline, so Sam Johnstone will continue in goal.
Midfielder Will Hughes (knee) is stepping up his recovery, but Michael Olise (hamstring) and Matheus Franca (back) remain on the sidelines.
Joe Hodge is an injury doubt for Wolves after sustaining a hamstring injury against Blackpool in the Carabao Cup midweek.
Hwang Hee-Chan will also be checked after he missed the Seasiders clash with a hamstring problem.
Key stats
- Wolves haven't won in their last 10 Premier League visits to London.
- Eberechi Eze has already had 16 shots this season, but not scored. However he has scored twice against Wolves in the last five encounters
- Before the 2-0 away defeat in April last season, Palace had won the previous four encounters – conceding only once in the process.
- Wolves are without a back-to-back win away from home since February 2022
Other suggested bets
Crystal Palace have won the last three home games against Wolves and should continue that trend on Saturday.
Eberechi Eze hasn't had much luck in front of goal this season, but does enjoy playing against Wolves, so he could break his duck here.
Competition for places inbetween the sticks at Selhurst Park has increased, with the arrival Dean Henderson. So Sam Johnstone will want to have a stormer to keep himself in the number one shirt.
Wolves made a number of last minute signings as the transfer window slammed shut, but despite boosting the team they don't like playing on Sundays, having not won on this day in their last eight top-flight games.
Eberechi Eze anytime goalscorer
Edouard and Kalajdzic Both To Score
