Chelsea vs Wolves Prediction & Match Preview

• Chelsea conceded 28 shots in the midweek’s loss to Liverpool.
• Wolves head into this off the back of a narrow loss in a seven-goal thriller against Manchester United.
• Wolves had been on a seven-game unbeaten thread across competitions prior to the loss to the Red Devils.

Chelsea and Wolves sit right next to each other in the middle of the Premier League table going into their Matchday No 23 clash on Sunday afternoon at Stamford Bridge. If you look at the performances shown by these two outfits in the last couple of months, you will find a lot of similarities.

Chelsea ended a three-game unbeaten streak in a painful fashion. They suffered a 1-4 loss away at Liverpool on Wednesday evening. Mauricio Pochettino’s team did not exist on the pitch four days ago. They were brutally outplayed by the current Premier League leaders, conceding 28 shots (13 on goal) on the occasion.

Wolves also gave up a bunch of chances in their unpleasant 3-4 home defeat to Manchester United on Thursday evening. They seemed to have avoided a loss when Pedro Neto found the equalizer at the death. However, Kobbie Mainoo had the final word for Manchester United, scoring the winning goal in the seventh minute of added time at Molineux Stadium.

Chelsea vs Wolves Prediction

Both Chelsea and Wolves left too much space behind in their respective midweek matches. We can hardly believe that both managers had enough time to fix the obvious defensive holes in such a quick turnaround. Chelsea conceded 13 shots on target on Wednesday at Liverpool while Wolves shipped four goals in a seven-goal thriller against Manchester United on Thursday. We’ll back the Both Teams To Score pick at the 1.75 odds.

As for the outcome, the value is with Wolves. The visitors are 2.30 to leave Stamford Bridge undefeated. They had been on a seven-game unbeaten thread before the mentioned loss to Manchester United in Gameweek 22. Chelsea, on the other side, won just two of the previous five matches in all competitions. The Blues also looked horrendous on Wednesday at Anfield.
