Command Analysis
Chelsea
EnglandCurrent form
Chelsea have gone five rounds without a win, which has never happened to the team this season. During this period, the Londoners have drawn three times with their opponents and suffered two defeats. Moreover, there was not a single top opponent, and the aristocrats lost to Fulham (1:2) and Ipswich (0:2). It is difficult to clearly determine the reasons for such a decline, somewhere they were simply unlucky, there were periodic lapses in defense, in some cases the opponents were too good.
In the last round, Chelsea hosted Bournemouth on their home field. Palmer opened the scoring in the 13th minute, and there were still a decent number of dangerous moments, with the Londoners taking 10 shots on target. However, in the end they had to play catch-up, and only equalized in the fifth minute of added time. Enzo Maresca men are approaching the upcoming game in sixth place in the table, all their competitors have played their matches of the 22nd round, and if they win today, the aristocrats will return to fourth place. It won't be that easy to win, given that Wolverhampton won three of their last four head-to-head encounters. Nevertheless, in the first round game, Chelsea gave the Wolves a total rout on the road - a 6:2 victory.
Among the transfers, we note the appearance of Chalobah from Crystal Palace in the team. Let us recall that the footballer was on loan in the camp of the eagles.

Wolverhampton Wanderers
EnglandCurrent form
At the end of December, Wolverhampton pleased their fans with a three-match unbeaten streak, which allowed them to leave the relegation zone. However, they were unable to build on that success, as the Wolves' current schedule is too difficult. They had to play Nottingham Forest and Newcastle, who were in peak form, one after another. The result of these encounters was defeat with the same score of 0:3. However, between these failures there was a victorious match in the 1/32 of the FA Cup against Bristol City (2:1).
In the league table, Vitor Pereira team is staying out of the relegation zone with 16 points in 17th place, but only on additional indicators is it ahead of Ipswich Town from the red zone. It should be noted that Wolverhampton has been performing slightly better away than at home throughout the season, having scored nine of its total 16 points at other stadiums.
It should be noted that Wolverhampton is quite active in the transfer market. Thus, one of the newcomers, Agbadu, has already played for the team.

Tip and bets
Chelsea have been winless in the Premier League for five rounds and in case of another failure they will leave the top 4. Obviously, against such a background the players will not lack motivation. Wolverhampton have noticeably improved after Vitor Pereira came to the coaching bridge, but the team has a very difficult schedule to count on a stable set of points. In the first round game, the aristocrats defeated the Wolves away with a score of 6:2. The advantage in class has not disappeared anywhere, it is time for the hosts to break their protracted unsuccessful series.
Our prediction is Chelsea win with Asian handicap (-1.5) at odds of 1.97
Bet on total
Wolverhampton defence has not been particularly reliable in their last two away games, with the Wolves conceding three goals each against Nottingham Forest and Newcastle. Ahead is an equally difficult test of strength - a game against the superior Chelsea. The Londoners regularly create many dangerous moments near the opponent goal, and we hope that today implementation will not fail.
The second bet is Chelsea individual total goals over 2.5 with odds of 2.04
Bet on the exact difference in the score
With the same score of 0:3, Wolverhampton lost to Nottingham Forest and Newcastle. Chelsea attack is definitely not weaker than those of these teams. We expect the aristocrats to achieve a comfortable victory today with an advantage of three goals.
