For the first time for the 2019/20 season, the Wolverhampton Wanderers have surfaced on the international football map after a long time in the sinking. On the one hand, this is due to seventh place in the final table of the 2018/19 season and on the other hand the disciplined performance in the three qualifying rounds of the Europa League – the same competition that the guests from Chelsea won in the preseason.

Today’s Betting Prediction Wolverhampton vs Chelsea
The Wolves bring along quite a lot of tradition and won even in the 50s three English championships. Despite massive investments – just over 100 million euros invested Wolverhampton this summer in new staff – the gap, which clings to the top teams like Chelsea, still seems to be gigantic.
The blues are anything but good in the 2019/20 season started. Not only did the team-mate Frank Lambert’s team leave the UEFA Super Cup, but they also beat the first four league games in the Premier League.
Quite a factor in Wolverhampton against Chelsea, the odds bookmakers look fairly balanced – albeit slightly overweight Londoners. Not surprising, because at Wolverhampton against Chelsea the prediction is also affected by the rumble start of the Wolves.
Although they fought excellently in the Europa League qualification, they are still waiting for the first three in the Premier League (three draws, one defeat). While the tip on the blues may be attractive at odds, we still consider Wolverhampton v Chelsea Tip X to be the best possible choice, which we will explain in more detail at the end of this post following the formal review of both teams.
Wolverhampton – Statistics & Current Form
Each year in the Premier League, the only question is which four teams from Manchester City, Manchester United, Liverpool FC, Tottenham Hotspur, Chelsea FC and Arsenal FC will be in the Champions League and which two will play in the Europa League have to content. Rarely does another team make it into the top six reserved for these European heavyweights. This summer, however, only the newly promoted Wolverhampton Wanderers sent to close the gap something.
Seventh place and participation in the Europa League play-offs so, while the other two co-climbers Cardiff and Fulham have returned by post. An outstanding performance, thanks in the first place to coach Nuno Espírito Santo, who took over the club in the summer of 2017.
Since then, in the heart of England near Birmingham, glorious times have returned to life when, in the 1950s, the Wolves were one of the figureheads of English football. The anticipation of the Europa League group stage, demanding with Besiktas Istanbul, Sporting Braga and Slovan Bratislava, but by no means impossible, knows no bounds.
“We had a good start to the season with all the games we had to play. That was very hard. The Everton match was our first defeat since preparation so we do not want to focus too much on it. We know it was not our best performance, but we’ll get back to you. ” – Ryan Bennett on the club’s website
This wave of euphoria is clouded only by the not too good start in the Premier League. Four games and only three points are in the account of the Wanderers, who are the only club in the upper house of English football next to Watford FC, who is still waiting for the first league victory.
Although the Wolves won all six games in the Europa League qualification and defied Manchester United a 1-1 draw on Matchday 2, but three draws in the Premier League was followed by a bitter 2: 3 defeat at Everton FC.
The fact that Wolverhampton against Chelsea Tip X seems to us to be a good option, is mainly due to the fact that the hosts in the Molineux Stadium can draw on the full. Only Willy Boly will be missing after his dismissal in Everton.
Otherwise, Nuno Espírito Santo are all players except for the already not intended for the first eleven Phil Ofosu-Ayeh available for this home game. This means that on the one hand, the defensive before Rui Patrício is intact again, which allowed only two goals before the defeat in Everton in the first three league games.
On the other hand, the Wolves can once again build on their offensive prodigy Raúl Jiménez, who came from Benfica in the summer and scored eight goals in his first ten appearances in the Wanderers’ dress – six of them alone in qualifying for the Europa League.
Because newcomers such as Leander Dendoncker, Rúben Neves and Joao Moutinho have all completed less than 100 minutes of play, but could strengthen the team sooner or later significantly, the seventh of the preseason is also a colorful surprise bag, the currently also not overly successful blues quite could be dangerous.
In short: The potential of the Europa League participant is enormous. So slowly, but surely, it has to be exhausted at the national level.
Best scorers in the league:
🥇 Raúl Jiménez (2 goals)
🥈 Romain Saiss and Rúben Neves (1 goal each)
Probable team of Wolverhampton:
↳ Patrício – Vallejo – Coady – Bennett – Vinagre – Traoré – Saiss – Dendoncker – Neves – Cutrone – Jiménez

Chelsea – Statistics & Current Form
The footsteps, in which Frank Lampard joined as new coach of Chelsea FC this summer, are, of course, gigantic. Previously, two Italian coaches looked after the blues. Antonio Conte won the championship in his first year and the FA Cup in the second year, but failed to qualify for the Champions League in the league, which was doomed to him.
His successor Maurizio Sarri, who had to pack his bags this summer, meanwhile led Chelsea to third place in the Premier League and won the Europa League. Thus, the Londoners have each won a major title in the past three years. Nonetheless, none of the successful trainers at Stamford Bridge has been happy in the long run.
So now club icon Frank Lampard, who ran aground from 2001 to 2014 429 times in the dress of the Blues, with the club as a player Champions League and Europa League won. As a coach, however, England’s Footballer of the Year 2005 is still a blank slate. And this is also reflected in the results.
If the UEFA Super Cup lost on penalties, there was a fierce 0: 4 swatter at Manchester United on matchday one. Home was played against Leicester City and promoted Sheffield United even only draw. On the credit side is only the 3-2 victory at Norwich from the third matchday. Mind you in a climber who currently has a direct relegation zone.
“It’s not the defensive but the entire team. The lack of concentration and the high number of errors. You defend as a team as much as you attack as a team. ” – Frank Lampard at the Guardian
As at least expandable, the location of the success-blues blues to call accordingly, which can certainly not be satisfied with the eleventh place in the table. Especially as in the Premier League last 97 points from Liverpool FC not enough for the championship.
Since the already seven left points may be the tip of the scales in the end, although it would be a great success for Chelsea FC in view of the current situation, if the Blues ever again can intervene in the championship fight. After all, the staffing levels of these days could hardly be thinner.
Frank Lampard has to operate a real personnel jigsaw puzzle, as Callum Hudson-Odoi, Willian, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and N’Golo Kanté are still lacking regular riders. The latter could at least have benefited from the international break, which he did not spend with the Equipe Tricolore, but could continue to use for convalescence.
More likely, Jorginho will have to keep the defensive midfield clean for him – and the player, whom Maurizio Sarri once brought to Napoli as a player of choice, does not always succeed, although Frank Lampard at the Guardian stresses that it is not the defensive but the overall attitude of the team was the problem.
Although at Wolverhampton against Chelsea beat the bookmakers in the direction of the Londoners, whose squad alone alone on paper is more than twice as expensive as the Wolves. Nonetheless, the blues at the Molineux Stadium are facing a challenging task, and above all, the aforementioned number of errors has to be reduced.
Best scorers in the league:
🥇 Tammy Abraham (4 goals)
🥈 Mason Mount (2 goals)
Probable team of Chelsea:
↳ Kepa – Emerson – Zouma – Tomori – Azpillicueta – Jorginho – Kovacic – Barkley – Mount – Pulisic – Abraham
Last matches of Chelsea:
⚽️ 31.08.2019 – Chelsea Vs. Sheffield United 2: 2 (Premier League)
⚽️ 24.08.2019 – Norwich City vs. Chelsea 2: 3 (Premier League)
⚽️ 18.08.2019 – Chelsea Vs. Leicester City 1: 1 (Premier League)
⚽️ 14.08.2019 – Liverpool Vs. Chelsea 2: 2 (Super Cup)
⚽️ 11/08/2019 – Manchester United Vs. Chelsea 4: 0 (Premier League)

Wolverhampton vs Chelsea Best Betting Prediction Provided by PicksSoccer Experts
What influences our prediction heavily at Wolverhampton vs Chelsea is the thin staffing of the blues, who have not yet been able to find a new temperament due to the many injuries suffered by the team’s key cornerstones.
No wonder, because with Eden Hazard, the Londoners also lost their playmaker and strip-puller this summer, who was defensively well shielded by the duo N’Kanté and Bakayoko and could switch and act at will.
Bakayoko, however, was surprisingly awarded to Monaco, while N’Kanté last suffered with an injury. Although not everything went smoothly so far in Wolves, which was still without a win in the Premier League. However, taking the six competitive games in the Europa League, the Wanderers’ record reads quite different with six wins, three draws and only one defeat of the season.
Key Facts – Wolverhampton vs Chelsea tips
⭐️ Wolverhampton won 2-1 at home to Chelsea last season
⭐️ The Blues took only five points from the first four games in the Premier League
⭐️ The Wolves wait in the Premier League while still on their first win of the season (three draws, a defeat), won for all six qualifiers in the Europa League
Accordingly, we believe that at Wolverhampton against Chelsea a tip on the away win of the favored blues despite highly attractive odds is anything but the right choice. Tough to beat are the Wolves for it, which have increased under Nuno Espírito Santo also week by week and already Manchester United drew the draw – the team that has dismantled Chelsea on Matchday 4 with a 4-0.
Because the Wanderers but offensively the last punch has been missing and both goal and over / under bets are a number too risky, we decide to bet on the division of points.
