The Matchday 11 Premier League clash between Chelsea and Wolverhampton will take place on November 8 at Stamford Bridge in London. Chelsea vs. Wolverhampton: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
Chelsea
In the 9th round, the Londoners suffered a surprising defeat, losing 1-2 at home to Sunderland. However, they bounced back in their next match, securing a 1-0 away victory against Tottenham. This marked their third win in the last four Premier League games. The club is currently 7th in the standings, just one point away from the top four. Notably, Enzo Maresca's side has scored 18 goals, the second-best attacking record in the Premier League after Manchester City (20).
- The Londoners have not lost in 15 of their last 19 league matches (11 wins and 4 draws).
- At least three goals have been scored in 6 of Chelsea's last 7 Premier League games.
- The club has conceded only one goal in the first half of their last 8 home Premier League matches.
Predicted lineup for Chelsea (4-2-3-1)
Robert Sanchez – Reece James, Trevoh Chalobah, Wesley Fofana, Marc Cucurella – Malo Gusto, Moises Caicedo – Alejandro Garnacho, Enzo Fernandez, Pedro Neto – Joao Pedro Jesus.
The team has several players sidelined, including defenders Benoit Badiashile, Levi Colwill, and Dario Essugo, as well as forward Pedro Neto, midfielder Cole Palmer, and Romeo Lavia.
Wolverhampton
The team stands out among all opponents in the current Premier League season, but not in a positive way. After 10 matches, they have only two points and eight defeats. They approach this match following three consecutive Premier League losses against non-top-tier teams. At home, Wolverhampton lost to Burnley (2-3), and away to Sunderland (0-2) and Fulham (0-3). Notably, the team has the worst record in the league for goals scored (7) and conceded (22).
Immediately after their last defeat, the club's management dismissed head coach Vitor Pereira.
- The club's winless streak in the league has reached 14 matches (3 draws and 11 losses).
- Away, Wolverhampton has earned only one point in their last 7 Premier League matches.
- The team has scored only one goal in the second half of their last 7 Premier League matches.
Predicted lineup for Wolverhampton (3-4-2-1)
Sam Johnstone – Emmanuel Agbadou, Santiago Bueno, Tote Gomes – Ladislav Krejci, Ki-Jana Hoever, Hugo Bueno, Marshall Munetsi – John Arias, Jean-Ricner Bellegarde – Jørgen Larsen.
Defender Emmanuel Agbadou is out due to suspension.

Chelsea vs. Wolverhampton: Match Prediction
Last season, Southampton was the clear underdog in the Premier League, finishing with only 12 points and setting numerous negative records in England's top division. This season, Wolverhampton might follow in Southampton's footsteps, having only two points after a quarter of the season. With Vitor Pereira dismissed and the club currently without a head coach, it's unlikely they will take points from the Londoners.
I predict that Chelsea will secure an easy victory with a confident result. Despite being only 7th in the standings, the team could return to the top four after this round. Wolverhampton is notably weak on the road, having scored only 3 goals in their last 7 away Premier League matches and earning just one point in those games. Enzo Maresca's side has won 10 of their last 14 home Premier League matches. Additionally, last season, the Londoners defeated this opponent in both encounters – 6-2 and 3-1.
My prediction – Chelsea with a handicap of (-1.5)
Robert Sanchez
