Wolves vs Chelsea Prediction & Betting Tips - Premier League
by Steve Ashfield in Premier League Predictions
Wolverhampton Wanderers host Chelsea in their first home Premier League game of the season. Both sides are still looking for their first points of the season after 2-0 defeats in the opening weekend of the 2024/25 season.
Wolves lost 2-0 away at Arsenal but put in a good performance, especially in the second half of the match. They were still in with a chance of a point before the Gunners scored a second goal to clinch the three points.
The home side finished 14th in the Premier League last season and had a poor final few weeks with three straight losses. Home form produced eight league wins last season but the same number of defeats.
Will Chelsea sign any more players before this match? Their crazy spending spree has continued this summer but what chance do they have of having a settled side? Their new campaign began with a 2-0 home loss to Manchester City last weekend.
More signings and unrest among their multitude of players has taken place since then. The Blues finished sixth in the table last year after a strong finish to the season. Seven away league games were won this season.
Here's our match prediction for what should be an eventful game.

Wolves - Chelsea: Form Analysis
Wolves ended last season 14th in the Premier League but were 20 points above the relegation zone. They had a terrible end to the season but their fixtures were against Manchester City, Crystal Palace and Liverpool.
A lack of points wasn't a big shock therefore especially with trips to the Etihad and Anfield. They still ended the season only three points behind Crystal Palace who finished in tenth position in the Premier League
Four of their last five home games have been lost.
The summer transfer window hasn't gone well with both Neto and Kilman leaving Molineux. New signings include Rodrigo Gomes and Pedro Lima. Their home form is a worry with four of the last five being lost.
Chelsea bounced back to winning ways with a 2-0 home victory over Servette in the Conference League. That ended a run of three friendlies and their opening Premier League game without a win.
Only one of Chelsea's last eight games against Wolves has been won
At one stage last season, the Blues lost four successive away league games. Their form on the road has improved with only two losses in the last ten Premier League games and they were at Liverpool and Arsenal.
Against Wolves, Chelsea have lost their last three league games. That included a 4-2 home loss to them last season. Only one of their last eight matches against Wolves has been won. We go for a double chance bet on Wolves here.

Wolves & Chelsea Squad Analysis
Suspension means Nelson Semedo won't be playing for Wolves in this game. They are also without Leon Chiwome and Enso Gonzalez who are both injured.
Chelsea will be without Reece James who is both suspended and suffering from a hamstring injury. Raheem Sterling won't feature for Chelsea after being left out of both their games this week. Ben Chilwell and Trevoh Chalobah are also not in the current first-team squad plans.
Wesley Fofana is expected to make his return to the starting line-up. Cole Palmer is expected to be fit for this match despite an injury scare in the Servette match.
Another debut for Felix after his return to Stamford Bridge.
It wouldn't be a Chelsea game without a debut or two being made and Joao Felix is expected to be in the team this weekend. He was previously on loan at Chelsea but failed to impress with only four goals in 16 appearances.
