Chelsea vs Wolverhampton Betting Tips
Chelsea have hit a proverbial wall in the past few weeks and Frank Lampard is struggling to come up with the right answers at Stamford Bridge, with the Blues sitting in eighth place which is nine points behind leaders Leicester City.
Lampard is now struggling to make it to the end of the season in charge of Chelsea and our prediction is that the London side could find life difficult when they clash with a Wolverhampton Wanderers who are also in a slump coming into this match.
Chelsea’s Betting Odds Look Too Short for Wolves Clash
Chelsea are trading at odds of 1.55 to win this Premier League match although they were beaten 2-0 at Leicester City on Tuesday night and that means the Blues have lost five of their past eight games in the top flight.
There is nobody talking about Chelsea challenging for the title and the plain truth is that they could be struggling to land a top four spot this season, with the home side badly needing a victory in order to get back on track.
Lampard bemoaned his side’s lack of energy and fight at the King Power Stadium, with Kurt Zouma, Hakim Ziyech and Timo Werner on the bench, although it doesn’t seem to make too much difference when it comes to the personnel fielded.
Can Wolves Hit the Right Notes at Stamford Bridge?
Wolverhampton Wanderers are slumping pretty badly at the moment and a defeat in the Black Country derby means that Wolves are only ten points better off than Fulham, with the Cottagers having played two games less at this point in time.
While Wanderers are unlikely to be affected by a relegation scrap, they need a positive result and their last victory was strangely against Chelsea in the middle of December.
