Wolves v Chelsea Betting Tips [8 April 2023]

Frank Lampard is back at Chelsea on an interim basis and his first assignment will be an away game at Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League. With 39 points from 29 matches, Chelsea find themselves in the bottom half, placed 11th, but 11 points ahead of 14th placed Wolves. Hosts Wolves have failed to win any of their last three matches and as a result are just a point outside the relegation positions. They won a point courtesy of a late equalizer from Daniel Podence in their 1-1 draw with Nottingham Forest in the last game, and will be hoping to build on that. It hasn’t been a solid run for Julen Lopetegui’s side in recent times, they have three losses in the last five matches and have managed just one win in seven. Wolves have managed just one clean sheet in their last eight matches.

The return of Frank Lampard is expected to rejuvenate Chelsea after the sacking of Graham Potter. The former England international has a lot on his plate trying to bring out the team’s best in defence and attack. This balance seems to be lacking. They are coming from one of their most lackluster performances in the 0-0 draw with Liverpool, having also earlier lost 2-0 to Aston Villa. In their last three matches now, the Blues have no win, and they’ve conceded twice in two of their last three matches, while they have failed to score in their last two matches. In their last 11 away matches, Chelsea have managed just one win. They have just one clean sheet in their last 13 matches away from home. Three of their last four meetings with Wolves have produced draws.

Chelsea haven't really been great in their recent matches, and away from home they’ve also struggled a lot. Wolves haven't been at their best in recent games either; they haven't enjoyed a consistently good run at home too. Three of the last four meetings between these two sides have produced draws and in light of their recent runs, we predict Wolverhampton Wanderers v Chelsea to end in a draw.
