Chelsea and the Wolves face off on Saturday in an English Premier League showdown at Stamford Bridge. When these two teams faced off on May 7th, the game ended in a 2-2 draw.
Chelsea comes into this game sitting in 5th place in the standings having picked up 13 points. The last game came against Crystal Palace, and Chelsea scored two goals on the way to the victory. Chelsea only had three shots on target, but it was still a dominant victory as they had 62 percent of the possession. Chelsea played on Wednesday in the Champions League, and they were able to secure a 3-0 victory over AC Milan. N’Golo Kante is still trying to work back from injury, and won’t be able to go in this game. Wesley Fofana is also dealing with a knee injury and won’t be able to go in this game.
On the other side of this matchup is the Wolves, who sit in 18th place in the standings having picked up six points. In the last game against West Ham United, the Wolves gave up two goals and that led to the 2-0 defeat. The Wolves had 61 percent of the possession and four shots on goal, but they couldn’t find the back of the net, and they were defeated. Sasa Kalajdzic, Raul Jimenez, Pedro Neto, and Chiquinho are all dealing with injuries and won’t be included in this game. Ruben Neves is also dealing with a suspension, and he won’t be able to be included in the lineup here.
This is a Wolves team that has struggled to score all season, and they aren’t going to start finding that success here against Chelsea. I do think their defense will be good, though, and Chelsea is going to have issues getting on the board. Look for this game to finish 1-0 or 2-0, and the under will cash.
