Two mid-table teams will clash on the 4th of February at 15:00 GMT when Wolves travel to Stamford Bridge to take on Chelsea. With the amount of money that Chelsea spent, they should be sitting much higher in the Premier League table, while Wolves are probably outdoing their fans' expectations. Who will win this clash and take another step towards securing the 35/36 points that should guarantee another season in England's top division? This question, and more, are answered in my prediction below, so read carefully.
🏆 Chelsea vs Wolves: Who Will Win?
Chelsea have spent over a billion dollars to try and battle for supremacy in the Premier League, but the best that they can probably hope for come the end of this season is a spot in the Europa Conference League - this is definitely not good enough for a team with the quality that Chelsea have at their disposal. From the last ten games that they have played, they have won five and lost five, and this has left them sitting in 10th place in the table.
Wolves have not spent anywhere close to the money that Chelsea have, and they find themselves just two points behind their opponents. So, if they manage to take all three points away from the Bridge, they will climb into the top half of the table, while Chelsea will drop into the lower half. From their previous ten matches, Wolves have managed to pick up 14 points from the last 30 that have been on offer.
These two teams are basically level in the Premier League table and level in the form table, and I think that they will end up being level on the pitch after the 90 minutes have been played. I think the score in this match will end up being 1-1.
My Prediction: 🏆 Chelsea 1 Wolves 1 ⚽
💯 Chelsea vs Wolves Match Odds
Now that I have given you my prediction for this Chelsea vs Wolves match, there is a chance that you are wondering about the kind of odds that are being offered by some of the best new UK betting sites for some popular football betting markets. If this happens, then you are in luck as below I am going to give you the odds for the match winner, over/under 2.5 goals, and both teams to score market.
If you like the look of any of the bookmakers that have been mentioned in this prediction, and would like to find out more about them before you register with them, then you should click on the logo and you will be taken to our in-depth review where you can find out about their free bets and everything else that is important.
Chelsea vs Wolves: Match Winner Odds
Given where both of these teams are in the actual league table and the form table, you would think that the bookmakers would find it hard to pick a winner for this one and sit on the fence. However, this is not the case as they have Chelsea down as the overwhelming favourites for this match. This is probably down to the fact that Chelsea have won seven of their last ten home games, while Wolves do not tend to travel too well. Below are the match winner odds for this game:
| Team |  |  |  |  |  |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chelsea | 1.60 | 1.60 | 1.62 | 1.65 | 1.60 |
| Draw | 4.10 | 4.10 | 4.20 | 4.25 | 4.10 |
| Wolves | 5.10 | 5.10 | 5.50 | 5.50 | 5.40 |
Chelsea vs Wolves: Both Teams To Score Odds
When it comes to the BTTS market, the sports betting sites believe that both teams will find the back of the net. Chelsea have kept two clean sheets in their previous ten matches, while Wolves have managed to keep three. In that time, both teams have conceded a total of 32 goals between them, which averages 3.2 goals per game. If you want to put your money on both teams to score, then below are some of the best odds around at the moment:
| Team | | | | | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Yes | 1.67 | 1.67 | 1.70 | 1.72 | 1.72 |
| No | 2.13 | 2.13 | 2.05 | 2.08 | 2.08 |
Chelsea vs Wolves: Over/Under 2.5 Goals Odds
Since the bookmakers expect Chelsea to win comfortably and are backing both teams to score, it should be no big shock to find out that they also think that there will be three or more goals scored in this match. Since I predicted that this match would end in a 1-1 draw, I do not agree with the bookies in this market, and below you can find the odds that are being offered for their being over or under 2.5 goals in this mid-table clash:
| Team | | | | | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Over 2.5 | 1.64 | 1.64 | 1.67 | 1.68 | 1.68 |
| Under 2.5 | 2.13 | 2.13 | 2.15 | 2.20 | 2.20 |
✔️ Chelsea vs Wolves - Betting Tips
I have given you my prediction for this Chelsea vs Wolves match and the odds that some of my favourite British bookmakers are offering on three popular football betting markets. Next, I am going to give you my top football betting tips for this match, and you should give them a look before you jump right in and place bets on this clash.
- Tip 1: Bet on a draw: The bookmakers have Chelsea as the firm favourites to win this match, but I have not really seen much from them in recent times to understand where these odds came from. I would have no issue with Chelsea being the favourites since they are at home and have a decent home record lately, but I do not think their odds should be so short. Wolves are capable of giving any team a game on their day, and I see both teams cancelling each other out. LeoVegas are currently offering odds of 4.25 for a draw.
- Tip 2: Bet on under 2.5 goals: I know that the bookies are backing there to be at least three goals scored in this match, but I can see this being a match that is lacking in quality in front of goal. The XG might end up being quite high come the end of the 90 minutes, but I think there will be a lot of profligacy in front of the goal. I do, however, think that both teams will score once. At the time of writing, you can find odds of 2.15 for under 2.5 goals at 10Bet.
- Tip 3: Back Cole Palmer to score: If you want to put money on the player that you think will go on to score Chelsea's goal, then I suggest that you back Palmer. He has been Chelsea's best player this season, scoring 11 goals in 25 matches, while assisting in 7. You can find odds of 3.10 for him to score at BetUK Sports.
- Tip 4: Back a 1-1 scoreline: Many punters like to put a quid or two on the correct score market due to the enticing odds that are on offer, and if you want to back a 1-1 final score, like I have predicted, then Mr. Mega Sports have odds of 7.45 available at present.
1️⃣Chelsea Update
With the amount of money that Chelsea have spent in recent seasons, they should be in a fight for the top four, but instead, they are battling it out for mid-table mediocrity with the likes of Manchester United. Brighton, and Bournemouth. But, hey, at least they are on track to finish in a higher position than they did last season - which was 12th. Mauricio Pochettino needs to find a way to get the best out of his players because there is definitely plenty of quality in the squad that he has at his disposal. The 4-1 thrashing at the hands of Liverpool last time out is a reminder of how far behind they have fallen.

Pochettino has a good number of players that he will not be able to call upon for this clash with Wolves, and you can see their absentees in the following table:
| Player | Reason |
|---|---|
| Wesley Fofana | Cruciate Ligament Tear |
| Levi Colwill | Knock |
| Reece James | Hamstrong Injury |
| Marc Cucurella | Ankle Surgery |
| Robert Sanchez | Knee Injury |
| Lesley Ugochukwu | Hamstring Injury |
| Romeo Lavia | Unknown Injury |
| Nicholas Jackson | International Duty |
2️⃣Wolves Update
At the start of the season, Wolves fans probably would have been expecting their team to finish somewhere in mid-table, so they are on course to meet such expectations come May. They would obviously much prefer to be in Aston Villa's position, but there can only be one pride of the Midlands at any one time. Wolves are averaging 1.5 goals per game and are conceding 1.60 - in order to finish in a loftier position, they need to start scoring more than they are letting in. They will head into this match disappointed at having conceded 4 goals to a Manchester United team that is one of the lowest scorers in the league.
