Wolverhampton vs Chelsea Predictions

• Chelsea have won five of their last six matches.
• Wolves have failed to score in their last three games.
• Joao Pedro has scored five goals in his last five starts.

Goal-shy Wolves’ revival ends

Wolves’ mini-resurgence appears to have ended, with their loss at home to Bournemouth on Saturday subjecting them to back-to-back defeats in the Premier League and leaving them goalless in three fixtures.

The Championship-bound club have lost a massive 18 of their 24 top-flight fixtures this season, and a 19th loss could be on the cards when an in-form Chelsea side visit Molineux.

Pedro to lead Blues to routine victory

The Blues were eliminated from the League Cup by Arsenal in midweek, but they have won five of their last six matches and their only losses since Liam Rosenior’s appointment have come against the league-leading Gunners.

They have scored 19 goals in eight games since Rosenior took the reins and, while they haven’t been at their best defensively, they may be able to clinch their third clean sheet in this period against the goal-shy hosts.

Backing a Chelsea win looks excellent value given Wolves’ struggles, and a third 2-0 loss on the spin appears the most likely correct score outcome.

Joao Pedro appeals in the anytime goalscorer market, too. He has scored five goals in his last five starts for the Blues and he found the net in the reverse fixture in November.
