Wolverhampton vs Chelsea: Prediction and Betting Odds 2.36
Wolverhampton have become an inconvenient opponent for Chelsea lately. The Wolves have beaten the aristocrats in three previous head-to-head encounters. Perhaps, under the leadership of Enzo Maresca, who has seriously engaged in “cleaning up” the squad, it will be possible to interrupt the series of failures in personal meetings on August 25? We suggest you familiarize yourself with our betting tip. The site also shares a bet on the game by star expert Roman Pavlyuchenko
Command Analysis
Wolverhampton Wanderers
EnglandCurrent form
During the pre-season matches, Wolverhampton was not particularly stable, could have beaten Leipzig (3:0), but lost to the modest Rayo Vallecano (0:1). It looks like the Wolves will have some serious swings in the championship as the season progresses. There was no significant strengthening of the squad to make a breakthrough.
In the first round, Gary O'Neill's men predictably lost to Arsenal (0:2) away. The series of starting defeats, which began with the 2021/22 season, thus failed to be interrupted. Wolverhampton created practically nothing in attack, acted straightforwardly, the opponent dealt with destruction without problems, made only three shots on target. Despite two conceded goals, it is worth noting the game of goalkeeper Jose Sa , who helped to avoid a rout.

Chelsea
EnglandCurrent form
Chelsea, led by Enzo Maresca, started with a defeat in the Premier League. On their home field, the Londoners failed to cope with the current champion Manchester City, which showed far from its maximum capabilities on the field (0:2). Both teams in that meeting did not play at the highest speeds, did not create much danger near the goal, but the Citizens showed themselves better in implementation, and in general played more for the victory.
Nevertheless, Chelsea won their first official match under the new coach. In the Conference League qualification, they managed to beat Servette 2-0. The "aristocrats" had a lineup far from the main one, and for a long time they could not find an approach to the opponent, who could have scored himself. They had to release Palmer and Fernandez from the bench. In the end, their class told.
Chelsea are still in the spotlight in the press regarding transfers. Maresca has repeatedly made it clear that he does not need so many players, that he can fully conduct the training process with so many players. This time, Sterling "got it" , who is already not against leaving the team. It seems that the issue of selling Lukaku to Napoli is about to be resolved. Let us recall that the Belgian belongs to the Londoners under contract.
Disqualifications and injuries
Kellyman is out through injury, Sterling, Chalobah and Chilwell are suspended and James is a doubt.
Interesting trends for betting
- Chelsea have won six of their last seven matches on corners.
- Chelsea are unbeaten in six of their last seven matches in terms of yellow cards.
- At least three goals have been scored in 12 of the Aristocrats' previous 14 matches.
Probable line-up : Sanchez - Gusto, Fofana, Colville, Cucurella - Caicedo, Lavia - Palmer, Fernandez, Nkunku - Jackson.

1.57Tip and bets
Wolverhampton did not do anything special in the game with Arsenal, little worked in the attack. Of course, the Wolves are capable of surprising on their home field, Sa is good in goal, but it is hard to be sure that the team will catch the spirit. Still, Chelsea has much more potential, especially in terms of players. We believe that the "aristocrats" will break the series of unsuccessful personal meetings today under the leadership of Maresca.
Our prediction is Chelsea to win at odds of 1.81
Bet on total
Wolves have conceded fewer than two goals in only one of their last five defeats. Even with the excellent goalkeeper, it will be difficult to contain Chelsea's attack with a less than reliable defense, where anyone can be a threat.
The second bet is Chelsea's individual total goals over 1.5 with odds of 1.65
Bet on the exact difference in the score
We don't expect a crushing victory from the visitors. Maresca is still clearly not only looking for a game, but also looking for a more or less optimal base. There is a high probability that Chelsea will win by one or two goals.
Prediction: Chelsea win by one or two goals with odds of 2.36
