Indium. Chelsea total over 1.5
Wolverhampton are actively battling to stay home in England’s elite division. After 29 rounds, they were ranked 14th, but due to the high density at the bottom of the table, the loss to the relegation zone is only 1 point.
The winning “wolves” are served with great difficulty. In the last 7 rounds, they beat only Tottenham (1-0), losing to direct rivals – Leeds (2-4) and Bournemouth (0-1). This seriously complicated the task of rescuing the club, which is in charge of Julen Lopetegui. Under his leadership, the team played 13 games and created an average of 1.12 xg against an allowable 1.72 xg.
Chelsea is much better than their opponent in terms of performance. During the winter transfer window, the club spent hundreds of millions of euros, but it did not bring the expected effect. Graham Potter was never able to assemble a competitive team from an all-star cast, for which he was fired.
Several top managers are vying for the vacancy, including Luis Enrique, Pochettino and Nagelsman.
After Potter’s release, the “aristocrats” played one match with interim Bruno Saltor. They shared points with Liverpool (0:0), although in xg they were stronger (2.2:0.3).
My guess is that in this game Chelsea will create a decent number of chances again and be able to score at least two goals. Furthermore, Wolverhampton’s main defensive midfielder Ruben Neves is serving his disqualification.
