Wolverhampton Wanderers welcome the visitors Crystal Palace in the English Premiere League – Round 21. The match will be held on Wednesday, January 2nd, at the Molineux Stadium (Wolverhampton).
Considering Wolverhampton Wanderers’ comeback to the elite English league, they look very decent. Almost always, they take points from the table toppers. As for the clashes with middle-class opponents, they normally fail there, scoring a lot though. The team are rather effective – they’ve netted 23 goals in 20 rounds, which is over 1 goal per match on average. The number of allowed goals is same, by the way. Following their latest win over Tottenham Hotspur, the ‘Wolves’ are on the high ahead of the Wednesday kick-off, and they are considered favorite in the coming clash – the team are 7th in the standings, and they play in front of their fans tomorrow. We expect them to score at least twice. That said, the Wanderers kept a clean sheet only in 1 of 5 previous rounds. On their soil, they are weaker than away from home, allowing in 4 of 5 last home encounters.

Crystal Palace sit in the lower table, and they are in need of points not to approach the relegation zone. Overall, the guests make under 1 goal per match (17 goals scored in 20 fixtures), but their hosts’ defense is not ideal, so, they can unlock it at least once. The team fail to score in 2 consecutive rounds yet, and it’s high time to break this mini-streak. They allow over 1 goal per match on average, and they are unlikely to play ‘to nil’ in the coming meeting. It is noteworthy that Palace regularly find the net in their away matches. 4 of their 5 outings saw both teams score. In their last round trip, the guests managed to make 3 goals to Manchester City themselves.
In our view, the match will be quite equal. The outcome is hard to predict though. Goals by either side are expected as both teams’ defense leaves much to be desired. In 4 of 5 last head-to-head stakes, the bet on Both teams to score paid off, same as it did in the last opponents’ meeting on the ‘Wolves’’ arena. Crystal Palace featured a 1:2 win that time.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score – Yes.
