Desperation meets opportunity at Molineux as Wolverhampton Wanderers, rooted to the bottom of the Premier League, host a resurgent Crystal Palace side.
This clash, scheduled for Saturday with kick-off at 3:00 PM, has all the hallmarks of a pivotal moment for both clubs. Wolves are yet to win after 11 games but have Rob Edwards in the dugout for the first time, while Palace arrive on the back of a solid start, sitting comfortably mid-table. History favours the Eagles—eight wins in the last 15 meetings—adding further intrigue to a fixture that could shape the course of each team’s season.
Best Bets & Predictions
Based on Crystal Palace’s clinical attack and Wolves’ defensive struggles, our top betting picks focus on an away win and goals. We’re especially confident in Palace’s ability to leave with three points, given their superior record in both recent form and head-to-heads.
| Our Prediction | Odds & Bookmaker | Confidence | Why We’re Backing It |
|---|---|---|---|
| Crystal Palace to Win | 29/10 @ Betfair (25.6%) | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Crystal Palace look well-placed to beat Wolves on 22 November: Wolves have won just one of their last 12 Premier League games, highlighting dire form. Palace, meanwhile, are unbeaten in 10 of their last 12 league games, showing consistency under pressure. Their head-to-head record favours them too: they’ve won 3 of their last 3 at Molineux, underscoring their strong mental edge. |
| Wolves Under 1.5 Goals | 13/5 @ Bet365 (27.8%) | ⭐⭐⭐ | Wolves scoring under 1.5 goals looks a strong angle given their attacking output this season. They’ve averaged just 0.8 goals per game in the Premier League and have failed to score more than once in 10 of their last 12 matches. Their xG remains consistently low, often below 1.0 per match, highlighting a lack of quality chances. Crystal Palace have also kept opponents under 1.5 goals in four of their last six, reinforcing the matchup trend. |

Wolves vs Crystal Palace match odds
How both teams head into Wolves vs Crystal Palace
Wolves are the only team in the Premier League who have yet to pick up a win this season and they remain rooted to the bottom of the table as a result. They have had a change in manager though, with Rob Edwards taking charge of his first game in this encounter, and will be hoping that brings a change in fortunes. Wolves have lost their last four in a row and have picked up a solitary point at home this season, desperately needing a win as they sit eight points from safety after 11 games of the season.
Crystal Palace have had a solid, if unspectacular, start to the Premier League season. They’ve won four of their 11 games and have only lost two, drawing too many to really push themselves into the upper reaches of the table. They’ve won just one of their last five games, as well as their last two away games and need to find the winning touch again to avoid sliding down the table. One real positive for the Eagles is their defence, which has only conceded nine times (the third lowest in the league) and, if they can continue that kind of form, they have a good base to continue to build their season around.
