Wolverhampton vs Chelsea Predictions

• Wolves have scored just 23 goals in 29 Premier League games.
• Under 2.5 goals has been a winning bet in eight of Wolves’ last 10 home games.
• Under 2.5 goals has been a winning bet in 11 of Chelsea’s last 13 overall.

One for the purists at Molineux

Two out-of-form teams meet at Molineux on Saturday as Wolves entertain Chelsea in the Premier League.

‘Entertain’ may be the operative word in that opening sentence as goals could be in short supply. Wolves have the joint worst attack in the division with just 23 goals scored in 29 games, while Chelsea have only managed 29 themselves and have drawn a blank in their last two.

A good fixture for unders backers

I was debating a Wolves double chance bet as the main selection as they are 3/1 underdogs to claim the spoils but there isn’t a massive difference in price between that and the preferred option of under 2.5 goals.

As mentioned earlier, both of these sides are struggling for goals and under 2.5 goals has been a winning bet in eight of Wolves’ last 10 games at Molineux across all competitions.

Chelsea’s games have also been low scoring affairs and 11 of their last 13 games have seen fewer than three goals scored in total, while they have scored just 10 themselves during that run – an average of just 0.77 per-game.

A rare point for Wolves at home?

It wouldn’t be a huge surprise to see either of these teams nick a 1-0 win but a 0-0 bore draw is the correct score prediction for this one.

Wolves have only drawn two of their 14 home games in the league, winning five and losing seven, but Chelsea do have two draws in their last three games.

The Blues made the decision to axe Graham Potter last week but didn’t really show any kind of reaction in their midweek 0-0 draw with Liverpool under interim Bruno Saltor, and there were no signs to suggest that response could come this weekend.

Three of the last four meetings have finished all square and two of those have been 0-0 draws, so this game could well end goalless.
