Wolves – Crystal Palace: will the hosts keep sinking? 
The situation at Wolverhampton is precarious ahead of Crystal Palace’s visit on Saturday. Still no wins for the Wolves and already eight points behind the first team outside the relegation zone. Palace, by contrast, are back in form and circling the European spots.
Wolves : a downward spiral that won’t stop 
Wolves go into this game in a worrying, almost alarming state. Rob Edwards arrived during the November break, but there’s no sign the trend will reverse quickly. The team has dragged a string of worrying results since the season started and isn’t moving forward. Two measly points from eleven matches. Flat performances. Repeated mistakes. It’s harsh.
The heavy defeat at Chelsea before the international break only confirmed the problems. A week earlier Fulham did the same, another 3-0 that piled pressure on an already struggling defence. Wolves haven’t won for weeks and are on five straight defeats in all competitions, with defensive frailty plain to see. A new coach can spark a reaction. This one has his work cut out.
Crystal Palace : they’ve hit back 
Palace are in a very different patch. After a wobble in October, the Londoners have rebuilt momentum with a run of solid, inspired displays. The 3-0 win at Anfield in the EFL Cup grabbed attention: beating Liverpool 3-0, even in a secondary competition, is the sort of result that restores belief.
Under Oliver Glasner the squad looks to have found a positive rhythm and a clearer identity. Palace sit just one point off the European places and look like they control their good spells. The convincing win over AZ Alkmaar in the Conference League added to that sense of solidity. Hungry mindset. A coherent unit. Rising form. The Eagles head to Molineux smelling opportunity.
Key points
- Wolves have conceded 25 goals this season, the worst defence in the league.
- Five consecutive defeats in all competitions for Wolves.
- Palace have taken 10 points from their last four meetings with Wolverhampton.
- Wolves have picked up just two points from eleven matches.
Football Prediction Wolverhampton vs Crystal Palace
Crystal Palace to win
Given current momentum, Crystal Palace arrive with far more confidence. Wolves are struggling, unable to stop a run of defeats that’s dragging them down week after week. Palace, on the other hand, move with ambition and carry a psychological edge after recent wins across competitions. Under these circumstances, it would be no surprise to see the Londoners take all three points.
First, a word on our predictions
- What we publish on Mathodds are analyses, nothing more. We share an opinion, a read of the moment, not a guarantee. Sport is what it is: unpredictable. A red card, an injury, a freak goal… and the whole script flips.
- Let’s be clear: there’s no risk-free bet. Even when something seems “obvious”, it’s rarely so. Yes, you can lose. It’s inevitable at some point.
- Best advice: be sensible. Bet small, set a budget and stick to it. Don’t touch money you need to live on. And don’t chase losses — it nearly always ends badly.
- Betting should stay a game, not a job or a source of income. If it takes over your life, annoys you, or puts you under pressure, take a break. If needed, talk to a specialist organisation. That’s what they’re for.
- Ultimately, it’s your responsibility. Reading our content means accepting the risk exists and won’t vanish, even with the best analysis.
- Essential reminder: betting is forbidden to minors and must comply with your country’s laws. Gambling can spiral (money loss, family tensions, addiction). Need Help? Call 1-800-GAMBLER. In the UK? Visit https://www.gambleaware.org/https://www.gambleaware.org/.
No commitment from us
Our predictions aren’t a contract. They carry no legal weight. In short: you can’t rely on them to claim anything if a bet loses.
Info that can change
A prediction is based on what we know when we write it. In the meantime a team line-up (like Wolves’) can change, a player can get injured, the weather can turn… and the analysis becomes outdated fast. We can’t be held responsible for that.
Your role
Before betting, just check that betting is legal where you are. If it’s not, that’s your responsibility, not ours.
Responsible gambling first
We won’t repeat it enough: gamble in moderation. If you struggle to control it, don’t wait to get help. We can’t be held responsible for compulsive or excessive use of the site’s information.
