England Premier League
Saturday 6th October 2018
Kick off at 3pm BST
Venue: Selhurst Park
Match Preview:
Crystal Palace are 13th but their season feels like it has been a struggle. The question is, have the side moved on or gone backwards so far this season compared to last? It feels as if Roy Hodgson’s team are stuck in a rut and have just stayed the same as inconsistency has crept into their game.
They have lost 4 games from their first seven matches and last week they were defeated by Bournemouth 2-1 away from home. At home Palace have one of the worst records in the league where they have lost 2 and drawn 1, conceding 4 goals and are yet to even score a goal.
Wolves can offer more heartache for Hodgson’s side when they visit on Saturday afternoon. They come here on a run of 5 games without defeat and have 3 wins from their past four matches. They have beaten the likes of Southampton, Burnley and West Ham in the past few weeks. On the road they come here on a 2 game unbeaten streak and their last match ended with a very impressive 1-1 draw against Manchester United.
Team News:
Crystal Palace: Jairo Riedewald has been training ahead of this game and might be assessed for the squad. Christian Benteke remains sidelined with a knee injury
Wolves: Helder Costa could return after suffering a knock against Southampton, otherwise Wolves have no new major injuries

Crystal Palace vs Wolves Prediction:
Crystal Palace simply have not looked anything special this season and yet are the sort of team that will plug away for the result. We see this game as being quite close as it really is difficult to give either team the edge, and it feels as if we could see goals. Both teams to score should be noted down since it has happened in the last 4 meetings and has a 100% success rate over the past decade.
For smaller stakes we will back the correct score at full time which will add value to our bets.
