Crystal Palace play Wolves in the Premier League 2022-23 at Selhurst Park in London on Wednesday, October 19, 2022. The match will start at 12:30 AM IST (Indian Standard Time).
Crystal Palace’s record at home in the Premier League this season has been a mixed bag, with two wins, two defeats and a draw from five games. However, Palace’s performances against the top teams away from home have been commendable this season with the highlight being the 1-1 draw at Anfield against Liverpool.
Wolves sacked Bruno Lage after the underwhelming run of form at the start of the new Premier League campaign. Wolves, who finished 10th in the English top flight last season, scored only three goals after the first nine games this season while conceding 12. Four defeats in five games have defined a torrid time away from home for Wolves in Premier League 2022-23.

Crystal Palace top picks and players to watch vs Wolves Premier League 2022-23
Wilfried Zaha: The Ivory Coast winger made his first Premier League assist this season in the game against Leeds to add to his tally of four goals. He averages 2.8 shots per game in the competition this season, while converting 20 per cent of those opportunities. Zaha is the team’s talisman in the offensive areas of the pitch and plays a key role with his dribbling and playmaking abilities.
Odsonne Edouard: The 24-year-old Frenchman scored in back-to-back Premier League games against Chelsea and Leeds United, respectively. Following his two-goal debut against Tottenham last season, Edouard added four more goals in this Premier League 2021-22 tally along with three assists. His anchor play and movement in the box will be a worry for the Wolves’ shaky defence.
Wolves top picks and players to watch vs Crystal Palace Premier League 2022-23
Diego Costa: Wolves’ no. 29 previously had a very successful stint in the Premier League with Chelsea. Costa smashed 52 goals and made 16 assists in 89 matches for the Blues along with two Premier League Player of the Month trophies and two Premier League titles. Costa’s strong aerial ability will suit the Wolves’ gameplan as the Spanian will be keen to add to his two previous goals against the Eagles.
Matheus Nunes: Although goals haven’t come easy for Nunes, the Portuguese midfielder has been impressive for Wolves this season, following his big-money move in the summer. Nunes has been an able playmaker, averaging one key pass and 28.7 accurate passes per game, while also winning 2.1 tackles per game to help the team on defensive transitions.
Crystal Palace vs Wolves Premier League 2022-23 prediction
Crystal Palace’s recent record against Wolves puts them in good stead going into this fixture. The recent form also tips the scales further in favour of the Eagles as they are expected to beat Wolves at Selhurst Park on Matchday 12.
Wolves’ recent run of defeats have raised offensive as well as defensive concerns. Adding last season’s record against Palace into the mix, Wolves have a low win probability in the upcoming game.
