Wolverhampton vs Crystal Palace prediction, H2H and probable lineups – 22 November 2025
One of the fixtures of the 12th round of the English Premier League will take place on Saturday at Molineux Stadium in Wolverhampton, where the local Wolves will host London’s Crystal Palace. Let’s take a look at the best bet for this clash, taking into account the current trends in both teams’ performances.
Match preview
Wolverhampton come into this fixture in dismal form: the club has lost its last four Premier League matches and remains the main outsider of the season. The team struggles in two key areas — its attack barely creates any chances, and its defense has conceded more than anyone else in the league.
Their poor scoring record directly affects their chances: just seven goals in 11 rounds — a stat that makes not only wins, but even frequent draws, a tall order. The squad often loses focus after halftime, as evidenced by failing to score in the second half in each of their last five matches.
Crystal Palace, on the other hand, look far more composed and balanced. The Londoners delivered two solid home performances, picking up four points and keeping two clean sheets. Their defensive reliability and overall balance have helped them stay within reach of the top four despite modest attacking numbers.
However, away matches are far from straightforward for Palace: four defeats and four draws in their last eleven away games suggest a cautious approach on the road. Given their style and defensive focus, the London side may once again opt for a pragmatic game plan.
Probable lineups
- Wolverhampton: Sam Johnstone; Jackson Tchatchoua; Santiago Bueno; Toti Gomes; Hugo Bueno; Ladislav Krejci; Joao Gomes; Jean-Ricner Bellegarde; Andre; Hwang Hee-chan; Jorgen Larsen
- Crystal Palace: Dean Henderson; Chris Richards; Maxence Lacroix; Jaidi Kanwo; Tyrick Mitchell; Daniel Munoz; Jefferson Lerma; Daichi Kamada; Adam Wharton; Ismaila Sarr; Jean-Philippe Mateta.
Match facts and head-to-head
- Wolverhampton have not won in the Premier League for 15 consecutive matches.
- In 11 of the last 12 Crystal Palace games, there have been no more than three goals scored.
- In 5 of the last 7 meetings at Molineux, the teams have failed to break the over 2.5 goals mark.
Prediction
Both teams approach this match with caution — Wolves due to their weak attack, Palace because of their solid defense and pragmatic away style. In such circumstances, a low-scoring affair is highly likely. Our bet: Under 2.5 total goals at odds of 1.82.
