Crystal Palace vs Wolves

Current streaks

Recent form

Crystal Palace

Crystal Palace's recent form shows a mixed bag of results, with the Eagles displaying resilience in their last five matches following a heavy 5-0 defeat to Newcastle United. The team have gone unbeaten in their last five games, including an impressive 2-0 away victory against Tottenham Hotspur and a convincing 3-0 win over Aston Villa in the FA Cup. Palace have shown defensive solidity, keeping three clean sheets in their last six matches, which is particularly noteworthy given their mid-table position. The Newcastle defeat stands out as an anomaly, being the only match where Palace conceded more than two goals. Despite their 12th place standing, the Eagles have demonstrated an ability to compete with top-tier sides, as evidenced by their draw against Arsenal and victory over Spurs. Their goal-scoring record is modest but consistent, averaging 1.33 goals per game, while their defensive record mirrors this exactly, suggesting a balanced team performance overall.

Wolves

Wolves have experienced a mixed run of form recently, with a notable four-match winning streak followed by two consecutive losses. Their impressive winning run included a high-scoring 4-2 victory over Tottenham Hotspur, showcasing their attacking prowess. Despite their current 14th position in the league, Wolves have demonstrated resilience, particularly in their 1-0 away win against Manchester United. The team's goal-scoring average of 1.67 per game during this period is commendable, while their defensive record of conceding only one goal per game highlights a balanced approach. However, their recent back-to-back losses, including a 2-0 home defeat to Brighton, suggest a dip in form that Wolves will be keen to address in their remaining fixtures.

Recent home/away form

Crystal Palace

Crystal Palace have shown impressive form at home, remaining unbeaten in their last six matches at Selhurst Park. The Eagles have secured four wins and two draws during this period, including a notable three-match winning streak. Their defensive solidity has been particularly remarkable, conceding only three goals in six games and keeping three clean sheets. Palace have also demonstrated their attacking prowess, scoring 10 goals in total, with two high-scoring matches standing out: a 3-0 victory over Aston Villa in the FA Cup and a 3-1 win against Millwall in the same competition. The team's goal difference of +7 over these six matches highlights their overall dominance at home, with an average of 1.67 goals scored per game whilst conceding just 0.5 goals per game.

Wolves

Wolves have shown impressive form away from home recently, with a notable run of four consecutive victories on the road before their latest defeat to Manchester City. Their defensive solidity has been particularly striking, conceding only four goals in their last six away matches, with two clean sheets. Despite their mid-table position in the league, Wolves have demonstrated a knack for grinding out results, with four of their five positive results being decided by a single goal margin. The team's ability to score consistently, netting in five out of six away games, has been crucial to their success. However, their matches tend to be low-scoring affairs, with 67% of their recent away games featuring under 2.5 goals. Interestingly, Wolves have managed to secure victories against higher-ranked opponents, including a notable win at Old Trafford against Manchester United.
