As the New Year starts with all the excitement and fun, the premier league season would also be continuing its great flurry of matches. Part of the teams which would be battling it out would surely be teams that are struggling to survive from the relegation zone. They would know that every point that is earned is vital and could see these teams going closer to safety. There is no doubt that this would be on the minds of wolves when they take on crystal palace in their first premier league match of the year.
There can no doubt that wolves are simply on one of their best runs in the premier league. The reason is just that of the number of wins that they have managed to accumulate during this period but against who they have been able to do it. With their last match against spurs ending in them defeating the top four contenders 3-1 in their very own stadium, everyone would certainly agree that wolves are on a roll right now. They would be enthusiastic about how their last month has gone and would definitely be looking forward to the latest match which would pit them against crystal palace.
Crystal Palace, on the other hand, has experienced some misfortunes in recent times. However, their ship has been fairly stable coming into this game. They would be hoping to spring out more wins when they meet a Wolves side which is resurgent in the league. It is worth mentioning that crystal palace has found more joys on their travels this season than at home. They would be looking to continue that form when they take on wolves in the first match of the year.
When it comes to the form of both teams, there is no doubt as to the team which happens to have more of themselves in recent matches. Wolves have won four of their last six games. In these six games, they have only lost once which is an excellent record of a team of their standard. They would be thrilled with this form. They would have a lot of confidence going into this match with that inner feeling that they can beat anybody that they play against. It promises to be interesting to see how wolves would play on the 2nd of January. Crystal Palace, on the other hand, has had a bit more trouble in the league than their opponents. They have won three of their last six games. In the process of this, they have lost two and drawn one. They would be hoping that they do not fall to many defeats during the time of the season as it has a way of keeping you in a dangerous spot all season long.
As far as matches go, the battle of both teams would surely be excellent to watch. Wolves would try to impose themselves early on in this game while crystal would definitely have a thing or two to say in this game.
