Will Chelsea close the gap on the Champions League places again?

After a solid spell for the Wolves, in which they remained unbeaten in five competitive games, they have recently suffered two defeats in a row. As a result, they remain at the bottom of the Premier League table and have collected only eight points in 24 games this season – Burnley in 19th place have almost twice as many with 15 points.

Chelsea, on the other hand, are fifth with 40 points, just one point behind fourth place. Recently, there have been fluctuations between many and few goals – in four of the Blues’ last eight away games, fewer than 2.5 goals were scored. With the Wolves scoring less than three goals in five of their last seven PL home games, our tip for the Wolverhampton vs. Chelsea match is once again under 2.5 goals in the game.

Wolverhampton are in a difficult phase ahead of their clash with Chelsea. The Wolves have lost their last three Premier League games against the Blues, conceding a total of twelve goals and scoring only three. Offensively, in particular, little is coming together at the moment. Wolverhampton have failed to score in their last three league games and have failed to score in 13 of 24 games this season – the highest number in the league.

Their home form at Molineux has also been poor recently. In their last seven Premier League home games, Wolves have scored only four goals, three of which came in a single first half against West Ham. In the remaining 13 halves, they have scored only one goal, and Wolverhampton have failed to score after the break in ten home games. In our Wolverhampton vs. Chelsea prediction, we are therefore betting on the hosts not scoring again in the second half.

Chelsea, on the other hand, are traveling to Wolverhampton with momentum on their side. The Blues have won their last three competitive games against the Wolves, scoring three goals each time. They have already beaten Wolverhampton twice this season, including a 3-0 win in the Premier League and a 4-3 win in the EFL Cup. Another win would be Chelsea’s fourth Premier League win in a row, all under coach Liam Rosenior, who is on the verge of becoming only the second English coach ever to win his first four league games.

Chelsea’s offense is particularly stable at the moment, led by Joao Pedro, who has scored in three games under Rosenior and has scored a total of five goals in his last eight league games. You can secure odds of 2.56 for another goal from the Brazilian in the Wolverhampton vs. Chelsea match.

Wolverhampton – Chelsea Tip

This is not without reason, as the Blues have won the last four direct duels and scored at least three goals each time. Joao Pedro is particularly in the spotlight here, having scored in all three games under the new coach.

The Wolves, on the other hand, have failed to score in their last three league games and are currently winless in four games.

Their home record is also far from rosy: in twelve PL home games, they have only managed one win, complemented by nine defeats and two draws.
