Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Crystal Palace Prediction
Wolverhampton Wanderers are currently 14th in the league, six points behind 18th-placed Everton. It is hard to imagine Wolves being relegated, given their improved performances under Julen Lopetegui. However, they continue to be an inconsistent outfit, and the primary issue to be tackled this summer has to be adding depth to the squad and building an attack.
Diego Costa is a placeholder right now, but in order to avoid falling into the same situation as this season, Lopetegui has to ensure that his side's forward line is sorted.
Crystal Palace, on the other hand, are 12th in the league, three points ahead of Wolverhampton Wanderers. Roy Hodgson was a surprise appointment as manager following the sacking of Patrick Vieira, and Hodgson has done a commendable job at the helm so far, with many now questioning whether Vieira should have been sacked.
Clearly, the squad needs improvement, and it would certainly raise eyebrows if Hodgson remained at the club next season. However, for now, the club looks settled and highly likely to play another season at the top level of the English football pyramid.
We expect Crystal Palace to win here.
Prediction: Wolverhampton Wanderers 0-1 Crystal Palace
