Crystal Palace take on the visitors Wolverhampton in the round 37 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Tuesday, April 20th at Selhurst Park, London.
Crystal Palace had an undeniably successful season. The Eagles, largely thanks to Roy Hodgson’s steady hand, earned a well-deserved reputation as a solid mid-table Premier League side. However, "Old Roy" was more about survival than progress, unable to push his team beyond mere stability. The first attempt to replace him with Patrick Vieira didn’t work out, but Oliver Glasner has proven to be a much better fit. Taking over mid-season last year, he immediately sparked improvement, guiding Palace to a 10th-place finish. This campaign had its share of difficulties, but by winter, the team found their rhythm and started winning consistently. The crowning moment came in the FA Cup, where they demolished Aston Villa 3-0 in the semifinals and then shocked Manchester City in the final — winning the club’s first-ever major trophy. Prior to that, they had also beaten Tottenham 2-0, who were distracted by their own European commitments.

Wolverhampton were nearly relegated two seasons ago, only to be saved by Julen Lopetegui. However, just before the 2023/24 season began, he effectively resigned. His replacement, Gary O’Neil, managed a calm and stable league campaign, avoiding any relegation scares. But after the summer break, O’Neil's system began to falter badly. The board showed patience, but eventually replaced him with Vítor Pereira. That move paid off — under the Portuguese manager, Wolves surged up the table, distancing themselves from the relegation zone by more than 20 points. However, as the season wound down, the players appeared to ease off. After six straight wins, they fell 0-1 to Manchester City and then lost again to an inconsistent Brighton side.
Last season, Palace defeated Wolves twice, scoring three goals on both occasions. This season's reverse fixture ended in an entertaining 2-2 draw at Molineux. Glasner’s side are flying high and full of confidence. Back them to beat a Wolves team that seems to have mentally checked out — Palace with a “0” handicap looks a smart pick.
Prediction for the match: Crystal Palace to win with 0.0 handicap.
