The prediction of Wolves and Chelsea comes before the match of the 18th round of the Premier League. This game will be played on December 24th, at Molineux, England. In this match overview, we bring you betting tips and accurate predictions of results based on the analysis of these two sides.
Wolves vs Chelsea Match Preview and Team News
Wolves
Wolves have their limitations, especially defensively, but their attack is good enough to keep them floating in mid-table. Wolves are far from the best teams in the competition, but they also have too much quality to worry about in the relegation battle. Gary O’Neill’s side have won just one of their last five matches. They lost 3-0 away to West Ham last week. Hee-Chan Hwang is the engine of this team, his greatest virtue is speed, he has excellent ball control, and he can be satisfied with his performance. The bench players are expected to show as much as possible and impose themselves on the coach for the starting lineup. It’s a low absenteeism rate, with just the lone fitness concern for the Wolves manager Gary O’Neil to be concerned with thanks to an almost full-strength squad. Pedro Neto (Hamstring injury) is out of contention. Jonny Otto cannot play in this game through suspension.
Chelsea
Chelsea had hopes that this would be the season when they would return among the best Premier League teams, but after 17 rounds, they collected only 22 points. Chelsea have several areas for improvement, but the most obvious is their inability to stop the opposition from creating scoring chances. Chelsea’s last game was on Tuesday when they won on penalties in the EFL Cup at home to Newcastle. Mauricio Pochettino’s team should have settled that game earlier, as they had 78% of the ball possession and ten more shots on goal than their opponents. Moises Caicedo is a big signing, he arrived from Brighton for a record 115 million, and a lot is expected of him in the Chelsea shirt. Cole Palmer plays fantastically and creates a lot of problems for the opponent’s defence. Many clubs are ready to give a fortune for the arrival of this guy. Conor Gallagher is one of the best midfielders in the world, all praise for him. Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino has to contend with several unavailable players. Trevoh Chalobah (Thigh problems), Wesley Fofana (Cruciate ligament tear), Lesley Ugochukwu (unknown injury), Carney Chukwuemeka (Knee injury), Ben Chilwell (Hamstring injury), Robert Sánchez (muscular problems), Reece James (Hamstring injury) and Marc Cucurella (Ankle surgery) are not ready for selection.
