Chelsea vs Wolverhampton Premier League Prediction Match Details
The Premier League round 22 games will draw its final curtain on Monday night at Stamford Bridge with Chelsea set to welcome Wolves. Can the Blues end their winless run on their home soil to continue their hope for a top-four finish, or will Vitor Pereira’s men upset the Blues?
Chelsea Preview & Form
Chelsea will come into this match in great desperation to end their five Premier League match winless run, losing two and drawing three. The Blues have lost major points as they were earlier seen as a great contender for the Premier League title crown. They have also even lost their position in the race for the top four positions as they come into this game sitting fifth in the Premier League standings with 37 points, a point behind the top four and only two points ahead of Manchester City in sixth place. In their midweek clash with Bournemouth at Stamford Bridge, Enzo Maresca’s men were held to a 2-2 draw against the Cherries thanks to a late superb free kick from their captain, Reece James.
Enzo Maresca’s men have remained solid at home this season in the league, but a shocking 2-1 defeat in their last league home game against Fulham ended their impressive 12-match unbeaten run across all competitions. The Blues will be desperate to strengthen their defense this season, having kept only one clean sheet in their home league games this season, but their attacking force, led by Cole Palmer, has been great, having scored in each of their home games across all competitions since their opening defeat against Manchester City.
Wolverhampton Preview & Form
Wolverhampton, after winning their first two games under the guidance of Vitor Pereira, has now failed to win in any of their last three Premier League games. Vitor Pereira has now lost his last two consecutive games as they were pounced on 3-0 by Nottingham Forest last weekend on their home soil and then followed it up with a midweek defeat, a 3-0 defeat against Newcastle United at St. James Park on Wednesday night. The back-to-back defeats mean Wolves are back in the struggle for Premier League survival next season as they sit 17th in the league table, with the same points as Ipswich in the relegation zone and a point below Everton.
The defeat against Newcastle United on midweek days was the first time Vitor Pereira tasted defeat on the road, and he will be desperate to see his side end the bad result. The reverse fixture in the first half of the season in August saw Wolves outclassed by Chelsea 6-2, with Noni Madueke picking up a hat trick in the match.
