Why Bet on the Wolves?

The team from the West Midlands failed to live up to expectations in the first matchday and seems immersed in the same trend that last season. They finished the previous campaign with relegation-worthy form, and that is a dangerous tendency as, this time, the recently promoted teams seem a little more solid and experienced.

Last May, 27 points could have been enough to save the category. Something awful indeed, but this season, we presume the teams will need somewhere over 30 to survive.

Wolves sold Max Kilman and Pedro Neto to Premier League rivals and have replaced them but with a lot less spent, bringing in mostly young players between 18 and 24 years old.

The team has still a base of players capable of achieving good results in the first division but has another difficult challenge ahead.

Why Bet on Chelsea?

Spending has become kind of a meme in the Premier League. Still, Chelsea has achieved somewhat that seemed almost impossible in this regard, leaving Manchester City behind. Moving aside the 115 “issues” (something which resolution we’ll know next year), mocking the Blues has become a trend, and their woeful expenses in the Todd Boehly era keep going while the team remains midtable quality.

They have brought in many players, but almost too many, to the point it’s tough to see how they’ll make this large squad cohesive and efficient in the bid for a top-six finish.

As we previously pointed out, Chelsea also had the toughest starts, facing Man City at home for their campaign curtain raiser, losing 2-0. The Blues did, however, do well to keep it at 2-0, as the negativity surrounding the squad is remarkable.

Final Betting Analysis: Wolves vs. Chelsea

The Blues are determined to record their first win of the season, and this seems like a nice opportunity for the capital club to meet the goal.

Wolverhampton is facing a tough battle for survival this season, and seeing that Chelsea chiefs have reinforced the squad, we predict that the visitors are going to pick up three points from the round 2 game. Go for a 1-2.

Go for a victory for the visitors at 1.779. If you bet $100 at such odds, you could get $77.9 for a total payout of $177.9.
