1 min read
Paul Merson has shared his prediction for the upcoming Premier League clash between Wolves and Crystal Palace, expecting an entertaining encounter at Molineux.
Key Points:
- Form of Both Teams: Crystal Palace enters the match as one of the Premier League’s form sides, enjoying a run of five games without defeat. In contrast, Wolves have struggled recently, with just one win in their last nine games across all competitions.
- Merson’s Prediction: Merson anticipates an open and attacking game, with both teams looking to play on the front foot. He predicts a 2-2 draw, citing Palace’s recent outstanding performances and Wolves’ desire to finish their season on a positive note despite their injury woes.
- Eberechi Eze’s Impact: Merson highlights the potential impact of Crystal Palace midfielder Eberechi Eze, suggesting that he could be England’s X-factor and even earn a spot in Gareth Southgate’s squad for Euro 2024.
- Longest Unbeaten Run: As Palace heads into the match on a five-game unbeaten streak, fans may wonder about the club’s longest unbeaten run in the Premier League. Remarkably, it occurred under Roy Hodgson during the 2017/18 season, following a disastrous start under Frank de Boer. Hodgson oversaw a run of eight games without defeat after taking charge, marking the team’s longest current unbeaten streak in the Premier League.
With both teams aiming for a positive result, the stage is set for an exciting and potentially high-scoring encounter at Molineux as Crystal Palace looks to extend their impressive unbeaten run.
