Predictions & Betting Tips

Two sides heading in opposite directions

The momentum is with Palace at the moment as they head into their latest Premier League clash, and our Crystal Palace FC vs Wolverhampton Wanderers prediction reflects the optimism around the Eagles on Tuesday night. Oliver Glasner has instilled a new attacking identity on the Eagles since he took charge in February 2024 and his team have been pressing high, looking to counter quickly when they win the ball back. His team have been unbeaten in their three most recent league matches, featuring a home draw with Nottingham Forest, a 2-0 away win over Tottenham Hotspur and a 1-0 triumph over Manchester City. Eberechi Eze has been in particularly good form of late, scoring five of the Eagles’ last six goals in their five most recently played league matches, and he should be a big threat to Wolves’ defence on Tuesday. This Crystal Palace FC vs Wolverhampton Wanderers prediction will have to factor in his attacking threat. Jean-Philippe Mateta, meanwhile, leads the line with 14 Premier League goals in 35 appearances and should provide a constant threat for the hosts. Wolves, however, have been up and down recently, winning three and losing two of their most recently scheduled games. They lost back-to-back games before the international break, away to Manchester City and at home to Brighton, but they have won one and lost one in their last 2 away games.

Wolves won’t make it easy

Wolves won’t roll over for Palace in this game either, with their manager Vitor Pereira instilling shape and discipline in the team since his appointment in December 2024. For the Crystal Palace FC vs Wolverhampton Wanderers preview, it’s important to note Wolves have won six, drawn three and lost nine of their 18 away Premier League matches in 2024/2025, conceding 33 goals, but they are a tough nut to crack. Wolves’ talisman Matheus Cunha has scored 15 goals in 31 league appearances this season and is always capable of bailing his side out of trouble. Palace are the favorites at +172, but Wolves can also be backed at +192 with the draw at +255.

Palace’s momentum makes them the pick

We’re going with Palace to win this as their momentum is clearly on their side at the minute and they can benefit from home advantage, but Wolves have been a tough side to break down and we can see them doing enough to get a goal and a point, making the Crystal Palace FC vs Wolverhampton Wanderers prediction especially intriguing. Both teams are currently playing with a 3-4-2-1 system, but Palace are far more aggressive in their pressing, countering quickly when they regain possession, whereas Wolves are much more methodical in their build-up and will prioritise their shape and collective solidity. That could lead to an interesting tactical battle on the field and we’re expecting the likes of Eze and Wolves’ midfield general Joao Gomes to play key roles in deciding the game. As part of our Crystal Palace FC vs Wolverhampton Wanderers betting tips, we’re also expecting Palace’s recent defensive solidity to see them keep Wolves at bay, so under 2.5 goals looks good value in this spot.
