Match Preview
The Eagles are dealing with a heavy injury list before this Sunday clash at Selhurst Park. Key striker Jean-Philippe Mateta is officially out, which is a massive blow for the home side. Ismaïla Sarr will likely step up after scoring five goals already during this current campaign.
Daniel Muñoz remains a vital part of the tactical setup under Oliver Glasner this season. He has contributed three goals and averages 88 minutes per game. His discipline is a slight concern for fans because he has already picked up five yellow cards in the league so far.
Adam Wharton will anchor the midfield as they look to control possession against the struggling visitors. With Jefferson Lerma unavailable, Wharton’s role becomes even more crucial for the Eagles. He must avoid a booking today as he already has one red card to his name this season.
Rob Edwards brings his side to London after a slight improvement in their recent overall form. They have avoided defeat in two straight games, but winning away remains a massive challenge. With only one win all season, the pressure is mounting on every single first team player.
Yerson Mosquera is a certain starter in the back three but must be careful with his tackling. He has already collected nine yellow cards this season, averaging 0.61 cards per 90 minutes. His aggression is a strength, but it often leads to dangerous set piece situations for them.
Ladislav Krejčí offers a goal threat from defense, having netted three times already for the visitors. The team needs more from the attack as they search for goals at Selhurst Park today. Finding success in these Premier League Predictions depends on whether they can finally find clinical finishes.
Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner remains defiant ahead of Sunday's clash with Wolves at Selhurst Park. Despite admitting responsibility for the Eagles' recent inconsistent performances and struggles to integrate new signings, the Austrian highlighted the club's progress under his leadership. Glasner reminded critics of last season's record-breaking success and European qualification, maintaining he has the drive to turn around Palace's current Premier League form.

Prediction
Under 25.5 Shots @1.60
Selecting the under market for shots seems logical based on the current offensive data provided. Crystal Palace generate 13.77 shots per home game, while Wolves are even more conservative with only 8.46 on their travels. This total average of 22.23 indicates a lack of goalmouth action. Both managers prioritize defensive stability, which usually results in fewer risks and far fewer shots.
The absence of Jean-Philippe Mateta and Edward Nketiah significantly reduces the attacking threat for the Eagles today. Wolves have also struggled immensely, failing to find the back of the net in 52% of their fixtures this season. With both teams lacking clinical forwards and creative spark, the match will likely be played in the middle third, keeping the total shot count very low.
