Chelsea v Wolves Betting Odds Tips, Preview and Recommendations

Chelsea vs Wolves Betting Odds with EPL Match Preview & Prediction, Saturday, October 23rd:  Betting for Chelsea v Wolves betting shouldn’t be too hard to pinpoint in fixed odds. While they have only met four times in the league in recent times, Chelsea have a 40% win percentage at home against Wolves, winning the last four meetings with consummate ease. This Premier League match is not expected to go any other way than a strong home win, and with Chelsea’s impressive form at home, then it only makes sense to back Chelsea. However, odds are incredibly short as Chelsea are so strong as favourites, that other football betting markets need to be discovered. In history, Chelsea have scored 1.98 goals per match at Stamford Bridge against Wolves, with the Midlands side weighing in with 1.53 goals per match. But there really isn’t that much recent history between the two sides, with Wolves being out of the top flight for lengthy periods. Chelsea v Wolverhampton betting should really look towards how much Chelsea will win by in order to bring in better profit. Chelsea to win by 2 Goals is 3/1 at Bet365, while SkyBet offer 11/8 on Chelsea to win by 3 or More Goals, which is a fair price for a not too unreasonable prediction. Chelsea -3 Asian Handicap is 21/10 at Bet365, which isn’t too bad a bet really. It will require Chelsea winning by four goals, but it’s not beyond their capability, especially if they get on the board early enough. A Correct Score bet of Chelsea 2-0 fetches 6/1 at Bet365, while Chelsea 3-0 is priced 13/2 at Boylesports, both of which offer good value, simply because the market is a little harder to predict. Chelsea are too strong for most teams at home, and that really doesn’t give Wolves much of a sniff in this one. The longer the game goes on, the more chances Chelsea will carve out, and they have the quality and clinical finishing to put Wolves to the sword.

Chelsea Betting:

Premier League leaders Chelsea will seek solace again in the comfort of their own home, in this top versus bottom clash. After dropping five points on the road in their last two away matches, Stamford Bridge remains the stronghold that will keep Carlo Ancelotti’s Blues in the title race. With Manchester United failing to press home advantages in their games, pressure is coming from Man City and Arsenal at the moment, and with those two sides meeting on Sunday, this is a big opportunity for Chelsea to stamp their authority over the league again. However, Ancelotti is in a battle against injuries which are disrupting his side. He was able to field a strong eleven for their midweek Champions League against Spartak Moscow, but the bench told a different story, very young and inexperienced. This is where Chelsea are at the moment, with Drogba, Lampard, Ramires, Benayoun and Alex fighting for full fitness. They did get striker Salomon Kalou back though, which will give Chelsea a little more option up front. They coped well and put in a solid, professional display to come away with a 2-0 win. Fortunately, after two tough away matches in the English Premier League, Chelsea should comfortably pick up three points against Wolves, who are sitting in the relegation zone. This game has come at the right time in order for Ancelotti to give his players more time to recover, and it certainly isn’t the toughest challenge which they will face this year. The biggest missing component has been Drogba, but again Anelka showed up well in Europe, grabbing a goal along with Zhirkov. After coming out of the blocks firing, Chelsea have hit only two goals in their last three games (a 2-0 home win over Arsenal, sandwiched between a defeat at Man City and a goal less draw at Aston Villa). With Chelsea’s 100% record at Stamford Bridge this season, and the fourteen goals scored in four matches, your Chelsea v Wolverhampton betting is going to be a little lopsided. Clearly the online bookmakers will have Chelsea as overwhelming favourites. There are hints that Drogba and Ramires could be back in the team for Saturday, and Drogba is so prolific that he is only 8/15 at Skybet as Anytime Goalscorer. Better value is Florent Malouda for 23/20 at Victor Chandler, who is due a goal.

Wolves Betting:

Again coming under a lot of fire again this season, Wolves and boss Mick McCarthy have a big struggle on their hands right now. They are third from the bottom of the league, and haven’t won since the opening day of the new EPL season. Having lost three of their four away matches this season, there really doesn’t look to be much chance of any other outcome on Saturday, other than a Wolves defeat. They didn’t cope well at all at Stamford Bridge last season where they got brushed aside 4-0. They also failed to get on the score sheet in the reverse fixture, so everything points to a potential heavy defeat. The degree of the defeat could all be down to who Chelsea are actually able to field, because if Drogba’s back, then the Wolves defence will have an extra difficult time. Wolves, who have been accused by more than one party of being a dirty team, haven’t managed to keep a clean sheet yet this season, and away from home have shipped an alarming eight goals in two matches. That average of two per match, is a good statistic to base your Chelsea v Wolves betting on. Actually, in their four Premier League meetings when Wolves have made it to the top flight, Chelsea have averaged four goals per match, compared to Wolves 0.50 goals per match. It really is unlikely that Wolves are going to hold on to even a draw, so looking for an Asian Handicap may not be a bad betting strategy. Wolves +2.00 Asian Handicap is 6/5 at Victor Chandler, which gives a stake refund if they lose by two goals. If they lose by more, your bet loses. Wolves simply are not going to outscore Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
