Crystal Palace vs Wolverhampton

After a winning start in the opening game of the Premier League season, subsequent results have not been promising for the team, as they have only managed to pick up one point from a possible six, a situation they will be looking to counter when they face Wolves.

Wolves have been the exact opposite of Crystal Palace. The team started the tournament with two consecutive defeats, but managed to break the losing streak in their last game.

Under the technical guidance of Patrick Vieira, Crystal Palace managed to maintain a good first half of the year last season, which allowed them to be one of the candidates to be among the teams qualified for international tournaments,

However, the second half of the season was a completely different story for the team, which accumulated a series of games without managing to win many. After a winning start on the opening day of the Premier League season, subsequent results haven't been promising for the team, which has picked up just one point from a possible six, a situation it will try to reverse in the defeat against Wolves.

After the team's poor results, Roy Hodgson took over the reins and managed to turn things around a little, moving the team away from the bottom of the table and keeping them in mid-table.

In fact, the team has managed to salvage four of the nine Premier League points so far, while also qualifying for the EFL Cup after beating Plymouth 2-4.

For part of last season, Wolves were among the relegation candidates and their final position was average for the season as a whole. Only seven points separated the team from relegation, with 11 wins in 38 games played, and a poor attacking record with an average of less than one goal per game.

After a promising pre-season, Wolves couldn't keep up their performances at the start of the official tournament, with two consecutive defeats, and it was only in the last game that they managed to take all three points, beating Everton 0-1.

The win over Everton was followed by a 5-0 thrashing of Blackpool.
