Fierce battle is in full swing! Premier League 03: 00 Crystal Palace vs Wolves In-depth prediction and analysis are coming!

4:11pm, 20 May 2025【Football】

Recent status of the two teams:

Crystal Palace: As the new FA Cup champion, the team's morale is at its peak, and it has remained unbeaten in the past 6 games (3 wins and 3 draws), including the highlight performance of defeating Manchester City 1-0 in the final. In terms of home court, Crystal Palace has won 6 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses in the last 10 leagues, with a winning rate of up to 60%, and has remained unbeaten in the last 8 home courts. However, the team may have affected their status due to post-winning celebrations and rotation strategies - the absence of central defender Gee (orbital injury), midfielder Dookure (seasonal reimbursement) and Walton (absent from surgery) weakened the depth of the lineup. In addition, coach Glasner may conduct personnel rotation when he is locked in Europa League qualification to accumulate strength for next season.

Crystal Palace's rotation cost: After winning the FA Cup, Glasner has made it clear that he will rotate at least 5 people, with the main central defender Guy (Yellow Orbital Guy) and midfielder core Dookure (season reimbursement) surely absent, and may even allow substitute goalkeeper Guayta to start. The new partner's central defender combination Lylema + Richards lacks tacit understanding. He made a total of mistakes this season, resulting in conceding three goals. The Wolves' counterattack efficiency is as high as 1.4 per game threatening shots. Larsen's speed advantage may directly impact this pair of temporary defenses.

Wolves' tactical targeting: Pereira will use a 5-3-2 low post defense, using the round-trip ability of wingbacks Kilman and Doherty to limit Crystal Palace's cross from the wing (35% of Crystal Palace's cross from the wing this season) The accurate long passes of midfielders Neves and Moutinho (success rate 68%) will focus on Larsen's header (success rate 59%), while Crystal Palace substitute center back Lacroix has weak air defense capabilities (success rate 47%).

Points:

Crystal Palace ranked 12th with 12 wins, 13 draws, 11 losses and 49 points, and has completed the relegation task ahead of schedule. The team just defeated Manchester City 1-0 in the FA Cup final to win the championship, and the morale of the whole team reached its peak of the season. All competitions have been unbeaten for 6 consecutive games (3 wins and 3 draws), and the defensive performance is particularly impressive - only one goal was conceded in the last 4 games. However, it is worth noting that the team consumed a lot in the Cup, and was suppressed by Manchester City in the final (the ball possession rate was only 28%). He was lucky enough to win with only Aze's goal in the 16th minute, and his physical fitness recovery is worth paying attention.

Wolves are currently ranked 14th with 12 wins, 5 draws, 19 losses, with 41 points, and are also in a state of no desires and no desires. The condition has declined significantly recently, and has been blocked by Manchester City and Brighton one after another, ending its strong performance in the previous six rounds. However, the team's away performance is still resilient - they have been unbeaten in 5 games in their last 6 away games (4 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss), including tough battles such as defeating Manchester United. The main forward Huang Xican's condition will recover after returning from injury, which will become an important reliance on the offensive end.

Recent performance

Crystal Palace: 1 win, 3 draws and 1 loss in the last 5 league rounds, defeating Tottenham 2-0 away from home, ending the embarrassing situation of 5 rounds of unwinding. In addition, the team performed well in the FA Cup, and finally won the championship trophy and was in full swing.

Wolves: 3 wins and 2 losses in the last 5 league rounds, but lost all in the last 2 rounds, losing 0-1 to Brighton at home in the last round, suffering two consecutive losses and zero goals, and their condition has declined.

Historical Confrontation

In the past 10 matches, Crystal Palace and Wolves have relatively balanced records, with Crystal Palace 4 wins, 4 draws and 2 losses, with a certain advantage. At home, Crystal Palace has maintained a five-game winning streak against Wolves, with obvious psychological advantages.

Match prediction

Taking into account factors such as the recent status of the two teams, historical confrontation and team lineup, Crystal Palace obviously has a better chance of winning when playing at home. However, Wolves also have certain strength. Their midfield has strong interception ability and can quickly regain the ball in the midfield area and launch a fast counterattack. Therefore, this game is very likely to be a even-match battle, and the two sides may start a battle against each other, and the score may be relatively stalemate.

Score prediction: optimistic about the draw! ! 1-1!

Crystal Palace 1-0 Wolves: Crystal Palace has a home advantage and has excellent defensive counterattack tactics. They may score a goal through an efficient counterattack on a solid defense basis and eventually defeat the Wolves.

Crystal Palace 1-1 2-2 Wolves: The strength of the two teams is relatively close. Although the Wolves are in poor form recently, they also have certain strength. If Wolves can stabilize their defense away and seize the opportunity to fight back, the two sides may shake hands and make peace.
