Chelsea vs Wolverhampton Betting Predictions and Odds – Premier League
Game 1 after Lampard’s dismissal
Match: Chelsea vs Wolverhampton
Competition: Premier League

Betting Tips: X2
Odds: 2.39
Stake: 4/10 units
After the league operation in England was interrupted for a week due to the fourth round in the FA Cup, things are now getting down to business again. In the course of the season so far, some top teams have had to give up a lot, so spring should be all about catching up. The two opponents of the upcoming game also have something to make up for.
After Chelsea made it to the round of 16 without a defeat in the premier class, there was hardly anything in the league recently. If the “Blues” want to be represented in the premier class again next season, then a small miracle is almost necessary.
So far, the men from Wolverhampton have also lagged behind expectations, because after 19 rounds they are only 14th in the table. Against ailing Londoners, the “wolves” now sense their chance, after all, they celebrated their last league win against their upcoming opponent.
Despite many setbacks and the recent expulsion of coach Lampard, the bookmakers at Chelsea vs. Wolverhampton make a clear prediction on the hosts.
We are extremely cautious with these bets, however, because at Chelsea vs. Wolverhampton the odds for a tip on the home team are anything but lucrative and therefore hardly match the current distribution of chances.
Chelsea – Stats & current form
What’s going on with Chelsea’s attack? In the meantime, not only the dearly bought star striker Werner seems to have the epidemic stuck to his shoe, rather the entire team only hits the mark very sporadically.
Without goals, it is, of course, difficult to achieve regular successes and so there have only been two successes from the last eight league games. Why the best bookmakers at Chelsea vs. Wolverhampton offer such low odds for the home team is a bit of a mystery to us.
Goals are in short supply
Only in one of the last eight games did the “Blues” score more than one goal. In five of the 19 league games so far, the offensive had to give up without having achieved anything at all.
In their own stadium, it has been possible to hit several times at least, but in the last two home games, only one goal was visible. Due to Werner’s lack of goals, even Giroud was recently brought back into the starting line-up. He is supposed to work with Abraham to secure the urgently needed goals together with Abraham.
Stamford Bridge is not a fortress
Even if at least the number of goals is reasonably correct at home, only four of the nine home games so far have been won. Accordingly, with the quota offered, it is difficult for us to make a solid prediction on the hosts at Chelsea vs. Wolverhampton.
With the expulsion of head coach Lampard and the recent misery of results as well as the almost ailing attack, there are some stumbling blocks in the way of a victory for the hosts. It will be interesting to see whether they can get out of this problematic phase of the season on Wednesday.
The probable lineup of Chelsea:
Mendy – Azpilicueta, Silva, Rüdiger, Chilwell – Kovacic, Jorginho, Mount – Ziyech, Abraham, Pulisic

Wolverhampton – Stats & current form
With six games without full success, the “Wolves” slowly but surely have to adjust to being involved in the relegation battle. However, they have always been involved in extremely tight games recently, so the guests are not lacking much in order to be successful again soon.
With a courageous performance, a point could be taken from the ailing opponent. With a bit of luck, you can even get a big break.
Just next to it is also over
In the last five bankruptcies, the goal difference to the opponent was always only one goal. In addition, in the last seven league games, no goal could be scored. If Chelsea’s goal doldrums continue, a lot is possible.
In general, three wins have already been recorded abroad, to which a draw will be added. There was also a small sense of achievement in the FA Cup when the lower-class FC Chorley was easily moved out of the way.
Stand up at Stamford Bridge?
In order not to run into the open knife against the strong team from the capital, the coach will probably send his team into the race with a compact defensive strategy. With a defensive 4-2-3-1 alignment, a point could be taken twice, the direction of march will probably be a similar one.
Given the offered odds of 2.39 at Chelsea vs Wolverhampton, a tip on the double chance X2 is worth the money from our point of view.
The probable lineup of Wolverhampton:
Patricio – Semedo, Boly, Coady, Saiss – Moutinho, Neves – Traore, Vitinha, Neto – Silva

Chelsea vs Wolverhampton – Direct comparison / H2H balance
The direct comparison of the two teams is almost even. With 43 wins out of 110 duels, Chelsea is only a wafer-thin lead, as the Wolves have so far had 40 wins. Overall, things could get tighter for the home side on Wednesday than they’d like, as Chelsea have only won two of the last five duels.
Chelsea vs Wolverhampton Betting Predictions and Odds by PicksSoccer Experts
Although all odds at Chelsea vs. Wolverhampton point to an imminent home win, we are extremely cautious with such bets, because there are numerous uncertainties on the part of the hosts that could also affect the coming game.
Key facts – Chelsea vs Wolverhampton tips
- Chelsea have only won two of their last eight league games
- The Wolves’ last win was against Chelsea, of all places
- The Blues have to do without their dismissed coach Lampard
Since an outstanding odds of 2.39 is offered for the double chance X2, we force this tip at Chelsea vs. Wolverhampton. As unsuccessful as the guests were recent, Chelsea fared little better and the home record of the “Blues” leaves a lot to be desired. The hoped-for and much-cited coaching effect is probably the only straw that the home side can legitimately cling to.
