Wolverhampton take on the visitors Crystal Palace in the round 33 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Tuesday, April 25th at Molineux (Wolverhampton).
After two victories in the championship, Wolverhampton have slightly pulled away from the relegation zone and seems to have relaxed. In the previous round, the "Wolves" lost 1-2 to Leicester, who were at that time in the relegation zone. The defeat was well deserved as the "Foxes" outplayed their opponent by xG: 2.61 vs 0.97. In their last six matches, Wolverhampton has only won two. Despite the team looking good at home recently, I do not believe in their victory over Crystal Palace, who are currently in excellent form and have not lost in a long time.

Crystal Palace are Wolverhampton's neighbor in the standings and has three more points than their opponent. Recently, the "Eagles" have improved significantly. Although they did not win in the previous round, they did not lose either. Under Roy Hodgson, the team does not lose, and their unbeaten streak in the Premier League is currently four matches: three victories over Leicester (2-1), Leeds (5-1), and Southampton (2-0), plus a goalless draw against Everton. I think that Crystal Palace will at least secure one point in the away game against the "Wolves."
In fact, both teams are still fighting to avoid relegation, but they have both pulled away from the relegation zone by a considerable distance. Wolverhampton is six points away, while Crystal Palace is nine points away. A draw in this match is unlikely to be a disaster for either team. Essentially, I expect a roughly equal match, in which I doubt Wolverhampton's victory and will bet on X2, covering two out of the three possible outcomes. Yes, Wolverhampton has been playing well at home lately, but Crystal Palace is currently in the top 9 of the Premier League in terms of away matches. In their last two away matches, the "Eagles" won both with a total score of 7-1. Wolverhampton has not been able to even secure a draw in their last four matches against this opponent. This includes a loss in their last home match (0-2) and in the first round of the current season (1-2).
Prediction for the match: Crystal Palace not to lose (X2).
