Wolves' last five trips to face Crystal Palace

Vitor Pereira’s side are looking to respond after back-to-back Premier League defeats against Manchester City and Brighton.

The league season itself has turned into a damp squib. The title is decided, the promoted teams have made a feeble attempt at staying in the division, and the only thing left to play for is the European places. 

But, Pereira’s men will want to take some momentum into the summer with two matches still to go as they look to continue their positive form since the boss took over in December. 

That will not be easy for them, as they have a terrible record at Selhurst Park in recent times - the Express & Star has looked back through their last five visits to south London. 

Last season, Wolves came out on the wrong side of a five-goal encounter. Odsonne Edouard scored a goal either side of Hwang Hee-Chan for Wolves - until Eberechi Eze then made it 3-1 with 12 minutes still to go. 

Matheus Cunha netted late on to make it 3-2, but it was Palace who took the points. 

They did the double over Wolves that season, winning the tie at Molineux 3-1 as well. 

Wolves actually took the lead at Selhurst Park back in 2022, when Adama Traore opened the scoring just past the half-hour mark. 

But Eze was again the tormentor, he has scored four times against Wolves in his six Premier League appearances - he has also scored that many times against Sheffield United and Southampton - his most in the top flight.

He levelled in the clash, and then Wilfred Zaha netted the winner 20 minutes from time. 

Another trip to south London, which did not lead to any points came back in 2021 as they were beaten. 

Second-half goals by Zaha and then loanee Conor Gallagher were the difference between the two sides - Wolves were under the stewardship of Bruno Lage at the time. 

It was two defeats in the same year at Selhurst Park, Eze with the game's decisive goal on this occasion. Wolves had beaten the Eagles earlier in the season in the home tie as Rayan Ait-Nouri and Daniel Podence got on the scoresheet. 

You would have to go back to 2019 to find the last time Wolves went to Palace and managed to come away with something.

They took a point back to Molineux on this occasion, but only just. Leander Dendocker’s own goal meant Wolves trailed, and after Romain Saiss was sent off in the 73rd minute, it looked like defeat was on the cards. 

But Diogo Jota popped up in the 90th minute to rescue a point. 

The season before that was the last time Wolves won at Palace - 1-0, thanks to Matt Doherty’s goal.
