Our Expert Predictions & Analysis on Wolverhampton vs Chelsea

Wolverhampton

Wolves lost to West Ham on the road in the last round of the English Championship and continued their series of extremely unconvincing matches. In the last five rounds of the Premier League, Wolverhampton have won only one victory; the team is at the bottom of the standings with prospects of ending up near the relegation zone.

At the same time, Wolverhampton are only three points behind Chelsea and, if they win, will be able to catch up with their new rival. The support of local fans will be an important factor for the hosts in this meeting, but still it is much more important for Wolves to improve their performance and start showing their best football.

Chelsea

Chelsea finally broke the streak of failures in their last match, beating modest Sheffield United at home. This victory did not improve the Blues' standings, but it certainly boosted the mood of Mauricio Pochettino's team, which was frankly unimpressive in recent rounds.

In the future match, the Blues will try to continue their winning streak, but it will not be so easy for them to get the next three points. Chelsea will certainly try to play as number one and will act from a position of strength, and the team's head coach will bring out his strongest players for this game.

Game Totals Prediction

Chelsea are rightly considered the favorites of this match, although Pochettino's team will certainly have to make a lot of effort on the road to achieve a winning result. Wolverhampton are not going through the best part of the season, but they will try to give a serious fight to a more eminent opponent on their home field and please their fans. In addition, in recent years the Wolves have been performing very successfully in matches against the Blues. The defense of the guests this season is not impressive, so the logical option for prediction seems to be a bet on “both teams will score” for 1.75.
