The match of the 25th round of the Premier League between Wolverhampton Wanderers and Chelsea will take place on 7 february at Molineux Stadium. Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Chelsea: prediction, betting odds and statistics.
Wolverhampton Wanderers
Wolverhampton Wanderers endured an unhappy end to January: the side lost 0:2 to Manchester City and 0:2 to Bournemouth. Before that supporters had reason for optimism as the team had gone four consecutive Premier League matches without defeat (1 win and 3 draws). Thus, the 3:0 victory over West Ham in round 20 remains the club's only win in the current Premier League campaign (5 draws and 18 losses). The club is a clear outsider in the competition and already sits 18 points adrift of the safety of 17th place. In addition, the club has scored far fewer goals than any other side in the Premier League — just 15 goals.
- The team has failed to win in 27 of its last 28 Premier League matches (6 draws and 21 defeats).
- No more than two goals were scored in 6 of Wolverhampton Wanderers' last 8 league games.
- At least one of the opponents failed to score in 6 of the club's last 7 home Premier League matches.
Potential Wolverhampton Wanderers Lineup (3-5-2)*
José Sá – Emmanuel Agbadou, Yerson Mosquera, Santiago Bueno – Rodrigo Gomes, André Neto, Hugo Bueno, João Gomes, Mateus Mane – Hwang Hee-chan, Tolu Arokodare.
Defender Toto Gomes is out with an injury.
Chelsea
Chelsea arrive at this fixture on the back of three consecutive league victories. In the last round the club overturned a deficit to beat West Ham 3:2 at home: Chelsea trailed 0:2 at half-time but scored three unanswered goals in the second half, with the winner coming in the 92nd minute. Notably, this season marks only the second time the side has won three consecutive Premier League matches. Chelsea sit fifth in the table, just one point behind Manchester United in the position above. The club also ranks fourth for goals scored in the current Premier League season with 42 goals.
- Chelsea have avoided defeat in 8 of their last 10 league matches (4 wins and 4 draws).
- At least three goals were scored in 6 of the club's last 8 Premier League games.
- Both teams scored in 7 of the club's last 8 Premier League matches.
Potential Chelsea Lineup (4-5-1)*
Robert Sánchez – Malo Gusto, Trevoh Chalobah, Yorrell Hato, Benoît Badiashile – Cole Palmer, Enzo Fernández, Jamie Gittens, Moisés Caicedo, Alejandro Garnacho – Liam Delap.
Defenders Tosin Adarabioyo and Levi Colwill, as well as midfielders Dario Essugo and Romeo Lavia, will miss the game through injury.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Chelsea: Match Prediction
We will not risk taking a straight win for the visitors in the upcoming match due to Chelsea's poor form away from home. In their last 6 league away matches the club has recorded only 1 win, 3 draws and 2 defeats. During that run the side kept a clean sheet only once, although they did score in five of those games. So, it is highly likely that the London club will concede again.
Wolverhampton Wanderers have failed to score in two consecutive home Premier League matches. The side also went three straight home matches without scoring in August–September 2021. At the same time, the hosts appear likely to concede more – in their last 12 home matches Wolverhampton Wanderers have conceded at least twice on 8 occasions. It is also worth noting that three or more goals were scored in five of the previous head-to-head Premier League meetings between these opponents.
Prediction: Over 2.5 goals
* For each team the starting lineup shown is from its previous match in this competition.
