Chelsea vs Wolves Prediction: More woe in store for winless Wolves

Wolves have yet to win in the Premier League this season and, with Vitor Pereira having been sacked last week, a trip to Chelsea looks a difficult one.

The Blues were beaten by a late Sunderland goal in their last game at Stamford Bridge, but that has been their only defeat in their last eight matches, which included a 4-3 EFL Cup win over Wolves last month. Read on for our Chelsea vs Wolves predictions below.

Team News

Pedro Neto is expected to shake off a knock and could return to the Chelsea line-up, but this match looks to have come too early Benoit Badiashile, who is set to return after the international break, while Levi Colwill, Dario Essugo and Cole Palmer remain injured.

For Wolves, Emmanuel Agbadou is suspended following his red card at Fulham last week, while Leon Chiwome is out for the rest of the season with a knee injury. Matt Doherty and Rodrigo Gomes are also out.

Chelsea vs Wolves Odds

Chelsea are firm favourites at 4/11 to claim three points at Stamford Bridge while Wolves are 15/2 to earn their first Premier League win of the campaign. The draw is available at 9/2.

Those who fancied goals can get 8/13 about there being over 2.5, while both teams to score is 10/11.

Joao Pedro, who scored Chelsea’s winner at Tottenham last week, is 7/2 to be the game’s first goalscorer.

Chelsea to win & over 2.5 goals @ 10/11

Wolves remain in limbo following Pereira’s sacking and it is difficult to see them ending their Premier League winless run at Chelsea, despite the fact the Londoners have had to deal with a gruelling trip to Qarabag this week.

The Blues came out on top against the struggles in a 4-3 EFL Cup success at Molineux recently and, after posting an expected-goals (xG) figure of 3.7 in their 1-0 win at Tottenham last week, they can find the net more frequently against the basement boys, who have conceded 12 goals in their last four matches.

Enzo Fernandez to have three or more shots, over 6.5 Chelsea corners & Joao Gomes to be booked @ 6/1

Blues midfielder Enzo Fernandez tried his luck four times in the Londoners’ 2-1 defeat to Sunderland in his last game at Stamford Bridge and had three shots in 45 minutes against Qarabag, so it would not be a surprise if the Argentinian had at least three attempts in this contest.

Only Manchester City have a higher average number of home corners than Chelsea’s 7.6 per match on their own patch, and they can force at least seven flag-kicks.

Wolves midfielder Joao Gomes has committed 21 fouls already this season, so he could earn his fourth yellow card of the campaign.
