Chelsea - Wolverhampton Wanderers predictions

The odds are definitely leaning in the hosts’ favour, but this match is far from a done deal. Judging by odds alone, Wolverhampton Wanderers may yet be able to walk away with a draw or even a surprise victory – though it’s still a longshot.

With a matchup like this, it seems like we already know the outcome. Wolves stand little chance of achieving anything except an appearance. Most bookies price an away win for this match at 5.80, marking an insurmountable difference.

Although Chelsea are coming on the back of a harsh 4:1 loss, it would be rather unfair to judge them purely on that performance. They were playing an away game in an extremely difficult matchup against Liverpool , so they spent most of the match trailing behind.

Wolves’s previous outing in the Premier League did not end in their favour. The opponents Manchester United took the lead during the first half, and Wolves stayed behind until the very end, losing the game 3:4.

Looking over the home team’s recent record, we can see a worrying trend. They’ve conceded more than 5 goals over the past 3 matches alone, indicating problems in their defensive lineup.

Wolves don’t seem to have any issues in the goal-scoring department. Their most recent records show they’ve score more than 5 goals over the last 3 matches, so they’re on a bit of a positive trend already.

Earlier in the season, The Blues lost an away game against Wolverhampton, though it was with a relatively small goal difference. Most betting predictions agree that things will go differently this time, especially with the 1.63 odds for a home win in mind.

Though the odds are against the visitors, at least they’ll be in a position to put up as much of a fight as possible. All of their lineup is accounted for in this match, with no issues from suspensions or injuries.

Over 2.5 Goals is easily the safest bet when it comes to this matchup. The best part is that it also maintains a decent betting value, especially if you use the 1.75 odds offered at 1xbet.
