Prediction, Odds & Betting Tips for Chelsea vs. Wolves at English Premier League
The Blues have a nice chance to gain stability and boost morale. They are up against one of the weakest teams in the Premier League, who is under pressure. Wolves know to bite but don’t know how to defend, and the number of goals conceded clearly demonstrates that.
Chelsea
The Blues need to find their rhythm and start playing well. Otherwise, the Champions League spot will stay out of reach. Maresca’s unit was fantastic at the end of the previous calendar year, but lately, they have begun to slow down and show weaknesses.
It was partially due to his experiments and unnecessary lineup mixing. Plenty of players had lost their pace after that. Also, injuries have hampered the Blues at one moment, leaving their roster pretty thin.
This team plays open and offensive-minded football. That’s especially visible at home, where eight of the last 10 events saw over 2.5 goals. Cole Palmer is the unit’s heart and soul and one of the best players in the league.
Wolves
The team from Molineux is in the relegation battle, and he needs to push hard now. Ipswich is more or less relegated, and four squads are in contention for the remaining two spots that lead down to the Championship. One of those units is Wolverhampton.
Their defense is atrocious, with the Wolves allowing more than two goals per game this year. Now, the attack is solid, and believe it or not, it’s better than most of the other EPL rivals, but the forwards can’t cover up the mess the back line makes.
Believe it or not, coming into the previous weekend, ten straight away games Wolves played ended with three or more goals. Vitor Pereira’s boys failed to score only once during this stretch, and eight events ended with both teams netting.
Chelsea: Sanchez; Gusto, Acheampong, Colwill, Cucurella; Fernandez, Caicedo; Sancho, Palmer, Neto; Jackson
Wolves: Sa; Doherty, Agbadou, Bueno; R. Gomes, Andre, J. Gomes, Ait-Nouri; Cunha, Hwang; Larsen
When Chelsea and Wolves meet, we usually see goals. That was the case in August last year when the Blues rolled over the hosts at Molineux, 2-6. During the previous campaign, Wolves won on both occasions, 2-1 at home and 2-4 at Stamford.
Chelsea is not in particularly great shape. Therefore, our focus won’t be on their win here, yet on goals. With the respective mentalities and playstyles both units prefer, we will aim big and bet on over 3.5 goals. The odds are quite satisfying, and overall, this pick most definitely has a certain value.
Our verdict: Over 3.5 goals
