Recent respective form guides

Wolverhampton Wanderers have been playing quite well at home, winning 3, drawing 2, and losing just 1. The goals for column just outweighs the goals against over this period, 7 to 5.

The Eagles have had a decent run of form away from home recently, tasting just one defeat in their last six, and picking up four good wins. Just 7 goals have scored in these games, though to be fair only a measly 4 have been let in at the wrong end.

Wolves's 37 points from 26 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 10th position. Crystal Palace lie just outside the playoff positions in the Coca-Cola Championship, picking up 38 from their 26 games so far.
