Crystal Palace v Wolves betting tips: Eagles grow stronger late on
Published:
Preview and odds for Saturday’s Premier League clash
The Eagles bid to maintain their fine home record when they entertain Wolves and we have scouted the odds to find some Crystal Palace v Wolves betting tips.
Palace went to champions Manchester City last week and came away with a 2-0 victory while Wolves gained a fifth win of the season when beating Everton on Monday.
Saturday’s match, which takes place at Selhurst Park, kicks off at 3pm.
Crystal Palace v Wolves match odds
While Palace have only won twice this season, both were notable – a 3-0 home defeat of Tottenham and a 2-0 triumph at Manchester City.
Goals from Wilfried Zaha and Conor Gallagher gave Palace a deserved 2-0 success at the Etihad Stadium, a result which leaves them in 13th place with 12 points.
They now seek to register consecutive Premier League wins for the first time since January/February, with one of those victories coming at Selhurst Park against Wolves.
The Eagles, who are 31/20 to win, have lost just two of their first 10 Premier League matches this season (W2 D6), their fewest at this stage of a campaign since 1996-97 in the second tier (one).
Their home form has been good, with Patrick Vieira unbeaten in his first five home league matches as Eagles boss (W1 D4).
Wolves are up to seventh in the table following Monday’s 2-1 win at home to Everton.
Bruno Lage’s side have 16 points and are just a point behind sixth-placed Arsenal after first-half goals from Max Kilman and Raul Jimenez proved enough.
Wolves have earned 10 points from their last four away league games (W3 D1), just one fewer than they managed in their previous 15 on the road (W2 D5 L8).
However, after having a 10-game unbeaten run in London following their return to the Premier League in 2018 (W5 D5) – during which they scored in every game – Wolves have lost four of their last seven league visits to the capital (W2 D1), failing to score on five occasions.
Wolves are 2/1 to win while the draw is on offer at 21/10 in the Crystal Palace v Wolves betting tips.
“The most important thing is the way we play, the three points and the good performance for the fans."

Crystal Palace v Wolves head-to-head
Palace won this fixture 1-0 in January but haven’t secured back-to-back home league wins against Wolves since November 1969.
It is 8/15 Wolves win or draw the game on the Double Chance market.
Since their return to the Premier League in 2018, Wolves have won four of their seven meetings with Palace in all competitions (D1 L2), keeping a clean sheet in each victory.
Each of the last seven meetings in all competitions yielded fewer than three goals in total and in the Crystal Palace v Wolves betting tips it is 4/5 this will again be the case.
Crystal Palace v Wolves key battles
Vieira’s game-plan appears simple – keep things close in the first half and make necessary adjustments in the second.
Palace have scored the highest proportion of their Premier League goals in the second half of games this season (11 of 13 in total).
Both of their goals in the opening 45 minutes have been netted by Wilfried Zaha (against Brighton and Manchester City).
Zaha is 21/10 to score at any time and it is 9/1 Palace are level at the interval and they go on to win.
