Wolves vs Crystal Palace Prediction & Betting tips
Due to the semi-finals in the English FA Cup on Saturday and Sunday, the Premier League match will be dragged out and between Saturday and Wednesday the ten games in the motherland of football will take place. On Saturday evening Arsenal surprisingly prevailed against the Citizens and it is therefore not yet clear whether seventh place in the Premier League table will be enough for the Europa League or not.
One of the candidates for international business are the playful Wolves by Nuno Espirito Santo. The team is currently in sixth place and would have fixed the EL ticket with it. On Monday evening Wolverhampton welcomes Crystal Palace in the Molineux stadium.
The Wolves should not allow themselves to fall over, because the breath of the competition can be clearly felt and in the event of a loss of points, the team could be displaced from the Europa League places.
Wolverhampton:
Wolverhampton had to say goodbye to the Champions League dream in just four days. Nuno Espirito Santo’s side lost to both Arsenal and Sheffield, losing to the competition. But not only was the CL dream gone, all of a sudden the Europa League had to be shaken.
With only eight league defeats, Wolverhampton has even fewer bankruptcies than Manchester City, and yet the Guardiola team is 19 points ahead of the Wolves. The reason for this is the countless draws so far this season. The points have been shared no less than 14 times, together with the Gunners this is the highest in the current Premier League season.
The Wolves are a playfully strong team, but they only choose risk with care. Accordingly, Rui Patricio conceded few goals, but the offensive game is not known for a goal festival. Only 49 goals are relatively little for a top six team. Interesting detail in passing: Not a single Wolverhampton goal was scored by an English player this season.
Should the prediction of the home win be the right choice on Monday evening between Wolverhampton and Crystal Palace, this would be a first. The Wolves would then win two home games in a row for the first time this season. This was successful five times in the 2018/19 season, and two home wins in suite could not be celebrated in 2019/20. There have been seven wins, seven draws and four losses in 18 home games to date.
Crystal Palace:
Head coach Roy Hodgson’s team will once again be in the Premier League and was able to get rid of any relegation worries very early this season. In contrast to the last few years, the Super Eagles 2019/20 are not in top shape in the end, but rather struggle with a catastrophic shape.
Before the compulsory break of several weeks, the Hodgson team was still in top form and celebrated three 1-0 wins in a row. Crystal Palace were also convincing at the restart and won 2-0 at Bournemouth. Since this success, however, there has been no reason to cheer. In the last six games there was not a single point win and the offensive around super dribbler Wilfried Zaha could only celebrate two goals in the derby against Chelsea, but had to admit defeat with 2: 3.
Head coach Roy Hodgson has seen a lot at 72, but never before has he suffered seven defeats in a row in a competition. This negative record threatens and given the recent achievements and the importance of the game for the home side, this defeat is obvious.
Roy Hodgson is considered an old school coach and his team operates in an ultra defensive concept. Safety first is very important and in the game forward there are usually very few options. Rather, a quick switchover game with the powerful wings tries to create pressure, the two sixes rarely move forward.
This also means that goals are generally very rare. Only 30 goals this season are the best proof of this, only relegated Norwich scored even fewer goals with just 26 goals.
