‘another Terrifying disaster’: Chris Sutton predicts how Wolves will fare against Crystal Palace in ‘close’ encounter

As Wolves gear up for a crucial match against Crystal Palace, all eyes are on them to break their winless streak. After a dramatic comeback and a 2-2 draw against Brighton in their last game, manager Gary O’Neil is hopeful that the team’s performance will improve with the return of key players like Sam Johnstone and Mario Lemina.

On the other side, Crystal Palace will be missing Eberechi Eze and Adam Wharton due to injuries sustained in their recent Carabao Cup match. Despite the setbacks, pundits like Paul Merson and Chris Sutton are predicting a close victory for Wolves, who are in desperate need of points to climb out of the relegation zone.

Wolves have struggled in their head-to-head matchups against Palace, with the Eagles winning six of the last seven encounters since January 2021. Recent results show that Wolves have conceded three goals in their last two games against Palace, highlighting their defensive vulnerabilities.

With the worst defensive record in the league, having shipped 25 goals in just nine matches, Wolves will need to tighten up at the back and deliver a strong performance if they hope to secure a much-needed victory. Failure to do so could not only put O’Neil’s position as manager in jeopardy but also present a significant challenge for Wolves in their bid to avoid relegation.
