Chelsea vs Wolverhampton Prediction

Chelsea Form

Chelsea have been inconsistent in their last three matches, which added four points to their tally. They claimed a 6-1 win against Middlesbrough, before drawing 0-0 with Aston Villa. This little streak came to an end, when Liverpool proved too strong in a 4-1 defeat for Chelsea. Chelsea claimed four wins in their last six Premier League matches at the Stamford Bridge. They came through these games with a record of one draw and one defeat, in which they conceded nine and scored 12 goals.

Wolverhampton Form

Wolverhampton were able to add four points to their account from their last three matches. They first shared the points in a 0-0 draw with Brighton, before claiming three points in a 0-2 win against West Bromwich. Unfortunately for them, this was followed by a 3-4 defeat at the hands of Manchester United. Wolverhampton claimed just one win from the last six away games in the Premier League. They also drew one and were defeated four times, as they were outscored by 11 goals to eight.

Neither Chelsea nor Wolverhampton have been experts at maintaining a clean sheet in recent matches. We count on both to continue this trend and bank on both being able to score a goal.

Chelsea took 22 points from their last 12 encounters with teams from the bottom half of the Premier League table. This amounts to seven wins after scoring 18 times and conceding 11. Wolverhampton won three matches and picked up 12 points from their last 12 encounters with teams in the top half of the Premier League. They scored 15 goals and conceded 23.

Chelsea vs Wolverhampton Betting Tips

Mario Lemina shows decent form right now for Wolverhampton, as he scored two goals in his last six games in the Premier League.

Going undefeated through their last 10 matches at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea won seven and drew three. Wolverhampton won three of their previous 10 away games across all tournaments, in which they drew two and lost five.
