Midweek Premier League action gets underway at Molineux Stadium as Wolverhampton Wanderers and Crystal Palace lock horns in a bottom-half showdown.
Wolverhampton wasted a 1-0 lead at Leicester City at the weekend, going down 2-1 at the King Power Stadium to end a three-match unbeaten run in the Premier League (W2, D1), throwing their survival hopes back into doubt. Julen Lopetegui’s men sit six points clear of the drop zone ahead of their impending return to Molineux, where they’ve racked up three victories in their last four league outings (L1). After dispatching Brentford and Chelsea ‘to nil,’ the ‘Wanderers’ could win three straight home matches in the Premier League for the first time since November 2021. But Molineux hasn’t been a safe shelter for Wolves against Palace, considering they’ve suffered four defeats in their seven Premier League H2Hs at home (W3).
On the other hand, visiting Crystal Palace could only manage a 0-0 home draw against 10-man Everton last weekend as Roy Hodgson’s flawless three-game Premier League record at the helm ended in a disappointing fashion. However, Hodgson has done enough to rescue the ‘Eagles’ from a dreaded relegation scrap since replacing Patrick Vieira earlier this month, steering them nine points away from the red zone. The visitors have won both away league games at the start of Hodgson’s second tenure, equaling their wins tally from their previous 16 Premier League travels (D5, L9). More importantly, they netted seven goals across those two victories after scoring just ten in their first 14 away league matches this season.
