Overview
Crystal Palace ended a 120-year wait for their first major trophy by defeating Manchester City to win the FA Cup at Wembley Stadium.
For coach Oliver Glasner's team, the victory over Man City will help them lift their spirits to the highest level, aiming for the best results to end this year's season.
The home match against Wolves at Selhurst Park is a match in which Crystal Palace is taking many advantages. In the last 8 matches in the Premier League, Crystal Palace have won 6 and drawn 1. In particular, all 4 recent matches against Wolves at Selhurst Park have witnessed victories for the London representative.
As for Wolves, they also have no more goals to strive for in the rest of the season. The "Wolves" have completed their relegation from many previous rounds.
Wolves are currently the team with the 3rd worst defense in the league, conceding 64 goals in 36 matches. With no more motivation, it is likely that their defense will still play without concentration in the last 2 matches of the season.
Overall, Wolves will find it difficult to stop a Crystal Palace side soaring high after their historic FA Cup title. In the last 8 seasons, Wolves' last away match ended in a defeat. And this is likely to continue in the trip to Selhurst Park.

Several key players in Crystal Palace's squad could be rotated after a tense FA Cup final. Captain Marc Guehi is still open to playing. Midfielder Jefferson Lerma could be brought in to play as a centre-back alongside Chris Richards and Maxence Lacroix.
