Wolves forward Matheus Cunha refuted a recent statement made by Gary O’Neil in anticipation of the crucial fixture against Crystal Palace.
Cunha emerged as Wolves’ savior once again in the previous weekend, securing a vital point with a dramatic 93rd-minute equalizer against Brighton. Despite his impressive performance of four goals in nine Premier League matches this season, the team continues to struggle, lingering near the bottom of the table with only two points.
Contrary to O’Neil’s belief that the upcoming matches are not of must-win nature, many, including Cunha, view them as pivotal in turning the team’s fortunes around. The Wanderers cannot afford to drop more points and must approach the Crystal Palace showdown with utmost seriousness.
Expressing his perspective on the impending clash, Cunha emphasized its critical nature in the team’s campaign. He stressed the significance of seizing the opportunity presented by facing a team like Palace, noting their recent victory against Tottenham and the competitive spirit both sides bring to the table.
With Wolves trailing Palace by four points and the latter dealing with key injuries, a triumph on Saturday could significantly boost the home team’s confidence for the subsequent match against Southampton. Despite Palace’s recent success, setbacks with injuries to key players like Eze and Wharton could tip the scale in Wolves’ favor, offering them a crucial advantage in the upcoming showdown.
