Crystal Palace vs Wolverhampton: Premier League Prediction (21.05.2025)

Crystal Palace will host Wolverhampton Wanderers in the 37th round of the English Premier League on Tuesday, May 21, 2025 at 02:00 WIB. The bookmakers slightly favor the home side, but the difference in odds is marginal. Let’s analyze the current form of both teams, their motivation, and provide our match prediction.

Crystal Palace

The Eagles have shown solid form toward the end of the season. In 2025, they have only lost four times and enter this match on a six-game unbeaten streak. However, they’ve only managed to collect 5 points in their last six Premier League matches: one win and three draws. As a result, they have dropped out of the race for European qualification via the league, but earned a Europa League spot through the FA Cup.

Palace come into this match right after their historic FA Cup final victory over Manchester City last weekend — their first major trophy in history. The team will play in the Europa League next season, despite sitting 12th in the league. Thus, they approach this fixture in high spirits but with little motivation and a squad likely to be rotated.

Wolverhampton

The Wolves have already achieved their main goal this season — survival in the top flight. Not long ago, they were stuck in the relegation zone, but a brilliant run in March and April — six wins and one draw — helped them climb out of danger comfortably.

Now, however, they’re on a two-game losing streak. The lack of motivation has played a part, as they are unlikely to finish much higher than their current 14th place. Also, both defeats came against top-tier sides: Manchester City (0–1) and Brighton (0–2).

Head-to-Head Stats

Crystal Palace hold the advantage in the last five head-to-head meetings, with three wins to Wolverhampton’s one, and one draw — the latter being a 2–2 result earlier this season.

Prediction

We’re backing Wolverhampton not to lose in this fixture. Palace lack motivation after their emotional FA Cup final and will likely rest key players. Our bet: Wolverhampton Double Chance (Win or Draw) at odds of 1.66.
