Wolves vs Crystal Palace prediction, odds, tips and team news: Best bets including a 25/1 cards double

Wolves are still seeking their first Premier League victory of the season. They welcome Crystal Palace to Molineux on Saturday with a 5:30 p.m. kick-off.

The pressure is starting to mount on Gary O’Neil, with his Wolves side only picking up two points from a possible 27. Crystal Palace have not fared much better, but did manage their first win of the season with a 1-0 win over Spurs last Sunday.

Wolves vs Crystal Palace predictions

Both Teams to Score & Over 2.5 Goals (11/10 with Sky Bet)

Both teams will be desperate to win this game, and I envisage a high-scoring affair. Wolves have seen all of their last eight Premier League matches feature both teams scoring, and the last seven of those have all included at least three goals being scored.

Crystal Palace’s goal data does not make for quite as attractive reading for BTTS punters, but it has landed in four of their last nine this term. Palace have created plenty of chances across their last couple of games, and after getting the monkey off their back with that win against Spurs, they can get on the scoresheet and contribute to an exciting clash on Saturday.

Nelson Semedo & Daichi Kamada to be Carded (25/1 with Sky Bet)

Nelson Semedo was Wolves’ most carded player in the league last season, having been brandished 11 yellow and one red card. The defender leads the way once again for his side this season, having already collected four yellows in just seven league outings. 

There has been a sharp rise in the number of cards shown by referees in the top-flight this term, and all of Wolves’ last eight matches have featured at least 50 booking points. Daichi Kamada has been shown a yellow in two of his five Premier League starts and booked in the League Cup. Combining Kamada and Semedo to be carded with Sky Bet pays 25/1 on Saturday.

How both teams go into Wolves vs Crystal Palace

Wolves snapped a five-game losing streak last weekend but left it very late to rescue a point on the road at Brighton. Evan Ferguson made it 2-0 to the hosts in the 86th minute, only for Rayan Ait-Nouri and Matheus Cunha to find the net in the 89th and 94th minute to secure a draw for Wolves. It’s now nine matches without a win in the league for the Wolves, and if they lose here, rumours of a potential departure will start to circulate.

After what felt like an eternity, Crystal Palace collected their first three points of the season last weekend. Oliver Glasner’s men secured a 1-0 victory against Spurs thanks to a goal from Jean-Philippe Mateta, and they then followed that up with a 2-1 away win at Aston Villa in the EFL Cup midweek. Heading into the weekend, Palace sit just above the drop zone in 17th in the table, and they will take confidence from their strong record against Wolves, having won six of the last seven meetings.

Wolves team news

Mario Lemina came off at half-time with a calf concern against Brighton last weekend, but Gary O’Neil is confident his captain should be fit to return here. Boubacar Traore, Yerson Mosquera, Enso Gonzalez and Hwang Hee-Chan are all still absent with injuries.

Crystal Palace team news

Eberechi Eze could miss the game against Wolves with a hamstring injury he is nursing. Adam Wharton was also withdrawn in the game against Villa and is a major doubt for the trip to Wolves. Chris Richards, Jefferson Lerma, and Matheus Franca are all sidelined for the visitors.
