Chelsea vs Wolverhampton Wanderers Prediction: Premier League Match on 04.02.2024

Date and Time: Sunday, February 4, 14:00 GMT

Venue: Stamford Bridge

Team Overview

Chelsea are Looking to Bounce Back from the Sobering 4-1 Defeat At Anfield in Midweek.

Chelsea’s inconsistent season continued in mid-week when they travelled to Anfield to face a table-topping Liverpool. The Reds dominated the match in every department and ran out deserved 4-1 winners.

For Mauricio Pochettino and his Chelsea charges, it is back to the drawing board as they prepare to host an in-form Wolves side.

The reverse at Anfield ended Chelsea’s three-match winning streak in the Premier League as they dropped down to 10th with 31 points, two ahead of 11th-placed Wolves.

Chelsea will look to bounce back, and football predictions analysis show that they will look to leverage the Stamford Bridge crowd to get a better performance to warrant three points on Sunday.

Wolves Are Looking to Make It Five Consecutive Matches Unbeaten in the League

Wolves are unbeaten in their last four outings in the Premier League; they have won three and drawn once in this four-match run. They have lost just once in their last five matches, underscoring their upturn in form.

Gary O’Neil has his side playing at a high level, and he will look to retain their good form in the league as they bid to leapfrog Chelsea into the top half of the table and make a push for European places.

However, Wolverhampton Wanderers have won the last two matches between the two sides; therefore, football predictions indicate that they have a real chance of getting something from the match against an inconsistent Chelsea side.

Player Focus

Expert soccer predictions show that this match will primarily be decided by which side controls the midfield. Chelsea are a possession-based side, whereas Wolves depend on their midfielder for energy and maintain a robust shape.

Moises Caicedo

The box-to-box midfielder has seen his influence in the Chelsea side grow gradually after a difficult start after his record move from Brighton in the summer. Football bet predictions indicate that he is one of the first names on the team sheet for Mauricio Pochettino. The Ecuadorian will be important for the Blues if they are to win on Sunday.

Lemina and Doyle

The midfield pair for Gary O’Neil’s side will be essential in gaining a measure of control in the middle of the pack, breaking down Chelsea’s attacks, forcing them wide, and launching attacks from deep.

Tactical Analysis

Chelsea will dominate the ball and territory based on free football predictions; they will look to build up play and create chances through quick, interchanging passes.

Wolves will comfortably defend and solidly rebuff Chelsea and look to attack fast on the counter.

These approaches will create a frenetic match characterised by heavy Chelsea possession punctuated by transition attacks by Wolves. 

Chelsea vs. Wolverhampton Wanders Expert Analysis

Gary O’Neil will retain his 3-4-2-1 formation, which will see Wolves pack the midfield with extra bodies and ensure they are not outplayed in the middle of the pack.

Mauricio Pochettino’s preferred 4-2-3-1 formation will be on show at Stamford Bridge again. The shape allows Chelsea to boss the midfield while having three or four players on the attacking phase.

These tactical approaches will mean that the game will be played mainly in Wolves’ half without necessarily leading to chances because the visitors will defend deep and narrow. 

Betting Odds

The pre-match odds on 22bet show that Chelsea are the favourites to take the win at 1.605. Wolves have decent odds at 5.2 to snatch a win from Stamford Bridge. A draw is available on 22bet at 4.2.

The odds on 22bet’s live prediction football action will add to the interest in the match after kickoff on Sunday.
