CRY
WOL
Wolves back in race for upper-half finish as red-hot Palace visits.
Wolves aim to bounce back from a crushing defeat as they host a rejuvenated Crystal Palace in their final home game of the season, hoping to climb back into the upper half of the table.
Wolverhampton Wanderers
Wolves suffered their third defeat in five games last weekend after a crushing 5-1 loss to title-chasing Manchester City. The Wanderers [DLLWL] dropped one spot down the table to 12th place, leaving them with 46 points [13W, 7D, & 16L].
Now two points outside the top ten, with two games remaining, the Wanderers are aiming for a better finish to the season than last term's 13th place. However, facing a rejuvenated Crystal Palace casts doubt on their ability to return to winning ways on Saturday.
Wolves have failed to win any of their final home league games in the previous three seasons [0W, 2D, 1L]. Additionally, a worrying run of form against Crystal Palace has left Wolves with five defeats in their last six Premier League encounters.
Gary O'Neil deployed a 3-5-2 formation against Manchester City but may consider a 4-1-4-1 with Matheus Cunha in attack this weekend. Pedro Neto [hamstring] remains in doubt, while Craig Dawson [groin injury] is ruled out.
In other news, Wolves will return to the US for the first time in 43 years this summer to take part in the inaugural Stateside Cup pre-season tournament.
Crystal Palace
Crystal Palace will be coming off the back of a famous 4-0 win over Manchester United. The Monday night victory featured an Olise masterclass, with the 22-year-old bagging a brace [12’, 66’] to see off a sorry United side. Olise remains eligible to represent France, Algeria, England, or Nigeria internationally.
Palace are in 14th place, three places below 11th, where they finished last season. The Eagles [WWWDW], with 43 points [11W, 10D, & 15L], will be looking to extend their five-game unbeaten run on Saturday when they face Wolves, having won 55% of their Premier League games against the home side [6/11].
However, the visitors haven’t won their final away league game in any of their last four seasons [0W, 1D, 3L]. A 3—4—2—1 formation with a front three consisting of Olise, Eberechi Eze, and the in-form Jean-Philippe Mateta, who was also on target in the four-goal win over the Red Devils, is expected in attack.
