- Kickoff: 20:00 UK / 21:00 CEST
- Venue: Selhurst Park (London)
Crystal Palace are coming to this game after the biggest win in their 119-year history. The Eagles managed to win the FA Cup title after beating Manchester City 1:0, securing their first major title ever! It was a turbulent season for the Eagles as they had a pretty bad start, but after they gained some momentum, it became obvious they are much closer in quality to the team battling for Europe than those in the relegation zone. Now, in the remaining two games in the Premier League, they will not be able to move significantly up or down, but that is not important since they already secured Europa League through the FA Cup.
Similarly to Crystal Palace, Wolves had a rough start to the season. Throughout the year, they floated around the danger zone, but after sacking the head coach and appointing Vitor Pereira, they created some separation between themselves and the danger zone. Right now, they are sitting in 14th place, but because the last three teams have been terrible, they are 19 points away from the danger zone and without a reason for concern in the remaining two matches.
Crystal Palace vs Wolves pick: Crystal Palace to (AH 0) win
Crystal Palace won back-to-back games against Tottenham and Manchester City. If we look further back, we can see they are undefeated in the last six matches while playing mostly against great teams. Also, at home, the Eagles won five and drew two in the previous seven games in all competitions!
Wolves lost the last two games against Brighton and Manchester City while failing to score. Yes, before those losses, they did great and were on a six-game winning streak, but all of those were against teams from 15th to 20th place.
In the first h2h game, we saw a 2:2 draw in a match where the Eagles did much better and had 2.89 xG, compared to Wolves' 1.52 xG. Additionally, the Eagles won the last five h2h games at Selhurst Park. Considering the trend in the last h2h games at Selhurst Park, the difference in form, and all the above, we believe the hosts are a lot closer to winning the upcoming Premier League tie.

Crystal Palace team news
Central defender Marc Guehi suffered a concussion in the previous game against Manchester City and had to leave the field after 61 minutes. His injury is not serious, but he will most likely miss the upcoming match. According to speculations, that game against the Citizens could easily have been his last with Crystal Palace, since he is very close to joining Chelsea in the offseason.
Cheick Doucoure and Chadi Riad, who missed the previous games with injuries, should remain sidelined.
