Crystal Palace take on the visitors Wolverhampton in the round 12 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Tuesday, October 18th at Selhurst Park (London).
Crystal Palace launched a new era since last season, with a bet on a relatively inexperienced coach, Patrick Vieira, and with a sharp rejuvenation of the squad. The first result, last season, showed that the idea, at least, was not hopeless: the experts liked the game, and they managed to discover new names, and the place in the table, 12th with 48 points, was higher than under Roy Hodgson (14 with 44). But not everything worked out for the Glaziers in the new championship. Everything initially started to go awry, from the shamefully lost match of the 1st round to Arsenal. For the first 7 matches, not counting the elemination of the modest Oxford United in the League Cup, there was only 1 victory over Aston Villa. And only on the 9th of October, they finally managed to win at home and against Leeds with a score of 2-1. Yes, and 0-0 with Leicester, on the road, looks at least not a failure, although, of course, with the current Foxes, all ambitious teams aim for 3 points.

Wolverhampton are still quite ambitious. They still remember how brightly the project, which received noticeable Portuguese features, returned to the Premier League: they took 7th place twice, played in the Europa League (and climbed into the playoffs there), were rightfully known as a “thunderstorm of authorities”. Yes, gradually the momentum from the work of Nuno Espirito Santo faded away. Bruno Lage did not completely replace him, although the Wolves revived a little last season. But in the new season, little came of it, although, of course, the serious injury of the newcomer, Kalajdzic, with whom many hopes were pinned in attack, also affected. Diego Costa, urgently signed as a free agent, is no longer the same. It is not surprising that after reflection, Lopetegui did not dare to move to Albion. However, even without him, the Wolves finally managed to win. True, only because of the newcomer outsider, Nottingham Forest, and thanks to the only goal from the penalty spot.
The sides alternately give out successful series in duels with each other. Wolverhampton recently had this: 3 wins and a draw in 4 matches. But since January of last year, Crystal Palace has been powerfully successful - they have won all 3 of the last matches. Bookmakers consider Crystal Palace to be the favorite, especially at home. But it is clear that the match, in any case, will not be spectacular. We recommend betting on boring “less than 2.5 goals”.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 scored goals.
