Our Predictions
Palace’s home games tend to be lively but not too high-scoring. Wolves' defensive lapses suggest at least a couple of goals. Odds favour a narrow Palace win with both teams scoring, likely 2-1 or 2-2.
Both teams are recent draw specialists, especially at home and away. With defensive fragility on both sides, expect goals, making a high-scoring draw plausible, like 2-2.
Wolves have a slight edge in recent form and could exploit Palace’s shaky backline. Both teams scoring is likely, and the match could turn into an open, end-to-end affair, maybe 1-3.
Welcome to Extratips, where we dish out the lowdown on this weekend’s Premier League clash: Crystal Palace hosting Wolves on May 20th at 19:00 in England. Palace, sitting 12th with 42 points, have struggled a bit lately, languishing in DDLLL form—definitely not the vibe they wanted heading into this one. Wolves, currently 14th with 39 points, are fighting to stay clear of trouble, especially after a string of non-winning results (LLWWW). In their last face-off, they split the points 1-1 in early May, and both teams have shown inconsistent form, making this a tricky one to call. The odds from bet365 point to a tight game: home win at 2.20, a draw at 3.30, and Wolves slightly favored away at 3.25. Both teams to score is at 1.75—favouring a high chance both nets will ripple. Looking at recent performances, Palace's creative struggles, combined with Wolves’ defensive lapses, could lead to a lively, unpredictable game. Key factors include Palace’s injury issues and Wolves’ recent resurgence under new tactics. One big storyline: Will Palace finally turn their home ground into a fortress? Or will Wolves spoil the party? Expect a tense, closely fought match, with a possible low to moderate scoring outcome. Here are my top predictions for this fixture, blending recent trends and betting odds:
