Wolves boss Vitor Pereira has already made waves since taking charge at Molineux, rescuing the club from relegation concerns and propelling them into the safety of mid-table. With Premier League survival secured, his attention now turns to ending the season with a statement win—and breaking a long-standing club curse in the process.
Despite the positive momentum under Pereira, Wolves carry a grim record into their final away match of the campaign. For nine consecutive seasons, the club has failed to win its last away league fixture, with their most recent point coming in a 1-1 draw at Nottingham Forest in 2016, and their last win dating all the way back to 2015 under Kenny Jackett against Wigan.
Now, Wolves head to Selhurst Park to face Crystal Palace with a 14th-place finish within reach—a remarkable turnaround considering their early-season struggles. A victory would see them leapfrog Manchester United and Spurs in the table, something that seemed unimaginable at Christmas.
Encouragingly, Pereira’s Wolves have bucked trends in recent weeks, winning four of their last five away matches, including high-profile triumphs at Manchester United and Bournemouth. Meanwhile, Palace may still be feeling the effects of their FA Cup efforts, giving Wolves a genuine shot at rewriting the narrative.
Pereira has already instilled belief, structure, and fight into this Wolves side. Ending a decade-long jinx would be the perfect final act in a transformative half-season and set an ambitious tone for the campaign to come.
