Chelsea vs Wolves: Predictions, odds & betting tips

The visitors have lost three in a row heading into their trip to Stamford Bridge this weekend

Chelsea are in need of a positive result against Wolves on Saturday as they look to hold on to third place in the Premier League.

Taking just one point from their last two matches has put the Blues' hold on third in danger as Arsenal have moved to within three points of them with four matches left.

But they take on a side on a three-game losing streak as they approach the clash at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea vs Wolves latest odds

Chelsea are big favourites to win the Premier League match at 1/3 (1.33) with bet365.

The visitors, who have not won any of their last three matches in the league, are offered at 17/2 (9.5) and the draw at 4/1 (5.0).

Chelsea vs Wolves first goalscorer

Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku is priced at 15/4 (4.75) to get the first goal of the game, while team-mate Kai Havertz is priced at 4/1 (5.0) and Mason Mount and Timo Werner are both 9/2 (5.5).

Raul Jimenez could be back in the Wolves starting XI this week and is priced at 10/1 (11.0) to be the first scorer and Fabio Silva is 14/1 (15.0).

Chelsea vs Wolves preview

Chelsea were bested by Everton at Goodison Park last time out and drew 1-1 with Manchester United at Old Trafford three days before.

Their home form of late has hardly been convincing, either, having suffered defeats against Arsenal, Real Madrid and Brentford over the last month.

With one win from their last four matches, they are not in the best shape, but Wolves are on a miserable run themselves, losing four of their last five games.

The visitors suffered another injury blow this week when Nelson Semedo was ruled out for the rest of the season.

Chelsea vs Wolves tips & predictions

Chelsea have hardly been thrilling of late but are expected to get the three points here. Backing them to win half-time/full-time at 21/20 (2.05) may prove a smart bet.
