WOLVERHAMPTON - CRYSTAL PALACE PREDICTION STATS

Wolverhampton P8 W5 D1 L2 Pts 16 GF12 GA7 GD+4 - Average goals per game:2.38
Crystal Palace P8 W4 D1 L3 Pts 13 GF12 GA13 GD-1 - Average goals per game: 3.12

TEAM NEWS AND RUN OF PLAY

Wolverhampton are flying on a run of four straight league wins. They had a midweek disaster at Chelsea in the League Cup and were destroyed 6-0 but coach Solbakken changed the entire team, resting regulars as he concentrates on promotion. The league wins look impressive but check the games out and you will see wins against the current bottom three sides. Wolves were distinctly average last time out in a 1-0 home win against a poor Sheffield Wednesday. Both sides were evenly matched and even home advantage could not seperate them. Wolves will start to unravel when they come up against the better sides and are one to oppose. Both Rasak Boukari and Steven Ward hobbled out of the Wednesday game and both are likely to miss the Palace game. Solbakked has no new injury worries.
Crystal Palace are on a fine run of five games unbeaten with four wins in that sequence. They had a dismal start but seem to have clicked and are now looking an impressive outfit. Wins over Cardiff and Bolton in recent games highlight their improvement. Such is the form and performance levels of the first team that two new Premier league loan signings Danny Gabbidon and David Goodwillie are yet to start.

1X2 BETTING PREDICTION

4.61 Crystal Palace (Pinnacle) is the selection in this difficult match. Sheffield Wednesday made Wolves look ordinary at the weekend and they are not a good side. Palace have really come good of late and look a completely different side from the opening period. I think Palace are great value here and should be backed.

ASIAN HANDICAP PREDICTION

Crystal Palace is the pick here +0.5 at 2.13 (188bet) Getting against Wolves is the play here as the midlands side seem to be in a false position. I am not convinced that they can remain in the top positions. Palace are looking strong and continue to show improvement. The Bookmakers dont seem to have caught up with them yet and the prices are still very high. They are only 3 points behind Wolves yet can be backed at 4.61 1X2.

TOTAL GOALS PREDICTION

Under 2.50 2.05 (BetVictor) is the bet here.This is a very tight game here and even though the stats point to over Crystal Palace's early form must be discounted. Palace are very strong defensively now and Wolves too have a solidity about them. Six out of the last ten matches for both sides have gone under, unusual for Championship sides. Unders is a major call.
