Crystal Palace won 2-0 in the earlier meeting between these two sides, making it four wins in five against Wolves. However, going to this game, they are in poor form, occasioned by a toothless attack and a very poor defence. Palace have not scored in five of their last six matches, and have conceded two or more in the process. On the other hand, Wolves have six clean sheets in their last seven home matches and have failed to score in just three of their 18 home games in the league. Palace have more worries in injuries and suspension of key players, which leaves Roy Hodgson with fewer options and playing an away game after three straight away losses, puts his side on the back foot. We will go with a 2-0 win for Wolves here.

Needham Market will host Bromsgrove Sporting for this fixture of the league. No doubt, the visitors have better team than their rival. Bromsgrove are more ambitious team in this season. Visitors have a more offensive team. They have an effective attack. Also, Bromsgrove is the best team on the road. Perhaps, the visitors have the potential to pick up the victory. However, I think, this will not be an easy job. Also, we have Needham Market who's is very average team in this season. Hosts have less potential. True, in previous game Needham is won 1-2 against strong Tamworth (away) So, I think, the hosts will probably try to try all three points or even one point.
