Chelsea host Wolves at Stamford Bridge this weekend in a clash that pits one of the league’s most prolific attacks against the current bottom side. The game is set for an 8:00 PM kick-off at Stamford Bridge, and below you can find our best bets and match preview.
Best Bets & Predictions
Based on Chelsea’s commanding attacking stats and Wolves’ ongoing struggles, here are our top betting recommendations for this match. Of these, we’re especially confident in a home win, given the gulf in form and output between the sides.
| Our Prediction | Odds & Bookmaker | Confidence | Why We’re Backing It |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chelsea to Win | 21/20 @ SBK (48.8%) | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Wolves sit bottom of the league and are winless in eight of those. The Old Gold have been really poor this term and have lost their last two on the road, with scorelines of 2-0 away at Sunderland and 3-0 at Fulham. After their league win at Spurs last weekend, expect Chelsea to dominate here. |
| Moises Caicedo to Score Anytime | 8/1 @ SBK (11.1%) | ⭐⭐⭐ | Moises Caicedo has scored three Premier League goals this season and has also found the net in the Champions League. With four goals in 13 across those competitions, there is immediate appeal to the 8/1 for him to score against such a weak opposition in Wolves. |
Our approach: Start with Chelsea to win, add Joao Pedro to score anytime for a value double.

How both teams go into Chelsea vs Wolves
Chelsea could only manage a draw away at Qarabag in the Champions League on Wednesday, although Enzo Maresca did rotate his starting XI, and as a result, a number of big names should be fresh and raring to go here. The Blues managed a 1-0 away win at Tottenham last weekend and sit seventh in the top-flight standings, heading into the weekend.
Wolverhampton Wanderers suffered a 3-0 defeat against Fulham at Craven Cottage in their last league match, extending their winless start to the season to 10, leaving them in 20th place on two points. After parting company with Vito Pereira, Wolves are without a head coach; however, Rob Edwards is being strongly linked with the role at the time of writing.
Chelsea team news
Romeo Lavia joins Levi Colwill, Cole Palmer, Dario Essugo, Benoît Badiashile and the suspended Mykhaylo Mudryk on the injury list. The good news for Chelsea is that Pedro Neto should recover from a minor knock to face his former club.
Liam Delap returns from suspension and could start against the side that saw him sent off in the EFL Cup, having replaced Tyrique George at half time in the Qarabag draw.
Wolves team news
Wolves will be without Emmanuel Agbadou, suspended after his red card against Fulham, along with Matt Doherty, Leon Chiwome and Rodrigo Gomes, all injured. Ladislav Krejci is expected to drop back into defence.
Jhon Arias and Ki-Jana Hoever were both taken off at halftime in the 3–0 loss at Craven Cottage, so Andre, Joao Gomes and Jackson Tchatchoua could return to the lineup.
Season Form & Standings
Chelsea have made a solid start to the 2025/26 Premier League season, sitting 7th with a strong goal difference and just three defeats from ten. Wolves, meanwhile, are rooted to the bottom without a win, their defensive frailties plain to see. (2025/26 season to date)
