Best Bets & Predictions
| Our Prediction | Odds & Bookmaker | Confidence | Why We’re Backing It |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chelsea win to Nil | 2/1 @ Spreadex (33.3%) | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Chelsea showed their defensive strength by at Arsenal on Tuesday and we are backing them to keep a clean sheet here. Wolves have scored just four goals across their last seven Premier League games at Molineux (W1 D1 L5), scoring three of those from five shots in the first half against West Ham in January (60% conversion rate). Across their other 13 halves of football in that time, they have scored just once from 59 shots (2% conversion). |
| Yerson Mosquera to be carded | 9/4 @ Spreadex (30.8%) | ⭐⭐⭐ | No player has been shown more yellow cards in the Premier League this season than Yerson Mosquera, who along with a handful of other names, has eight to his name. The Wolves man has only made 15 league appearances this term, and with a strike rate of over 50%, this looks a solid bet this weekend. |

How both teams go into Wolves vs Chelsea
Chelsea came up short again against Arsenal, losing 1-0 in the second leg of their EFL Cup semi-final at the Emirates. Kai Havertz scored a stoppage-time winner, despite Liam Rosenior showing some tactical promise in his first month in charge.
Rosenior has otherwise had a strong start, winning six of his first eight games and lifting Chelsea to fifth in the Premier League, just one point off fourth. The Blues have already beaten Wolves twice this season and will aim to break their long streak without consecutive league wins at Molineux.
Wolves have hit a rough patch after a four-game unbeaten start to 2026, losing their last two league games and sitting 18 points from safety. The club has already begun planning for life in the Championship, selling top scorer Jorgen Strand Larsen and bringing in Adam Armstrong and Angel Gomes.
Goals have been scarce, with Wolves failing to score in 13 of 24 league games and managing just four in their last seven home matches. They also face a tough challenge this weekend, having lost their last three league meetings with Chelsea by a combined score of 12-3.
Wolves team news
Toti Gomes is the only absentee for the hosts.
Chelsea team news
Levi Colwill, Romeo Lavia and Jamie Gittens are injured. Pedro Neto and Reece James are a doubt.
Season Form & Standings
2025/26 season to date. Wolves are rooted to the bottom of the Premier League, having won just one of 24 matches and scoring only 15 goals. Chelsea, by contrast, sit fifth and are in the thick of the European chase, boasting both a positive goal difference and a much-improved defensive record.
| Team | Pos | P | W | D | L | GF | GA | GD | Pts |

| Wolves | 20 | 24 | 1 | 5 | 18 | 15 | 45 | -30 | 8 |
Head-to-Head: Last 6 Meetings
Chelsea have won four of the last six meetings with Wolves and have scored three or more in three of those games, underlining their attacking dominance in this fixture.

Conclusion: Can Wolves Upset the Odds?
With Chelsea pushing for Europe and Wolves anchored to the bottom, all signs point to another tough afternoon for the hosts. The Blues’ superiority in attack and defensive solidity all point to a win-to-nil at 2/1 with Spreadex.
