Vitor Pereira can make history vs Crystal Palace – Nuno Espirito Santo is the only other Wolves boss to manage it

Crystal Palace are next up for Wolves, and manager Vitor Pereira has the chance to write himself into the club’s history at Selhurst Park.

With Premier League survival already secured, it is now a case of finishing on a high for Pereira’s men.

A win in South London would secure the Molineux outfit a 14th-placed finish, something that seemed almost impossible before Gary O’Neil’s sacking.

Pereira has broken numerous records since joining the club in December, and he again could bag another accolade with a victory at Selhurst Park.

Vitor Pereira looking to end Wolves’ barren run vs Crystal Palace

Crystal Palace have been tipped to beat Wolves on Tuesday evening, and the reason for this prediction may lie in the history books.

Despite winning four of their last seven home games against the Eagles, Wolves have endured a torrid time when travelling to south London.

Wolves, for example, have only managed one win away at Palace in the Premier League era, with that sole victory coming back in the 18/19 season under Nuno Espirito Santo.

The Molineux outfit have tasted defeat in their last four visits to Selhurst Park, something Pereira will no doubt look to change this week.

Crystal Palace record may cost Pereira

Having secured their first major trophy on Saturday afternoon versus Manchester City, Palace may be suffering from an FA Cup hangover when Wolves visit on Tuesday evening.

Oliver Glasner’s side may still be feeling the effects of their trophy party, but they will still be a tough test for Wolves, given their home record over the years.

That is because Palace have only lost their final home league game in one of the last 12 seasons (W8 D3), last losing 3-1 against Arsenal in 2020-21.

This stat, mixed in with Wolves’ worrying away record, paints a worrying picture for Pereira’s men.
