Wolves vs Chelsea FC Betting Tips
Safe Bets
• Wolves will still be without their lead striker Raul Jimenez and his absence was felt against Aston Villa with their attackers failing to convert many quality chances and unable to score even though they had seven shots on target. Chelsea have been defensively solid with the most clean sheets in the league, therefore betting on them to keep a clean sheet at odds of 2.25 (betway) is a safe way to get more than double returns on your investment.
• Kante has shown why he was considered the best holding midfielder a year ago, forbidding teams from counter attacking against Chelsea with almost 51 tackles attempted at a 70% success rate in twelve matches. Hence another safe bet is on him to have more than three tackles during the game the game at odds of 1.83 (WilliamHill).
• Though Timo Werner hasn’t scored since awhile, he will be giving his all against Wolves to prove his worth to Lampard. Betting on him to be on the scoresheet at odds of 2.25 (WillaimHill) gives good returns at a small risk.
Quick Rich
• Adama Traore has taken eight shots in seven starts for Wolves and will be in a more attacking role in the absence of Jimenez hence betting on him to get over one shot on target at odds of 9.00 is one of the most popular bets on WilliamHill.
• One of the best ways to earn high returns is betting on the exact scoreline. Chelsea will be playing their fourth match in ten days and Wolves have only won one match in their last five games, hence we expect it to be a close match, with the exact scoreline being Chelsea 1-0 Wolves at odds 6.50 (betway) or 2-0 at odds of 7.50 (betway).
Win/Lose/Draw
Chelsea will be looking to get back in the title race and should have too much quality for a Wolves side missing key players like Jonny, Moutinho and Jimenez due to injuries and suspension. Therefore we expect Chelsea to win the game easily which at odds of 1.72 (betway) is a safe bet.
Bet During the Match
Olivier Giroud played the full ninety minutes against Everton and was unimpressive, therefore we expect Tammy Abraham to start the match as Lampard will be going back to his winning formula with Abraham leading the strike. Hence if he starts or is subbed in early in the second half you can bet on him to be on the scoresheet at odds of 2.45 (WilliamHill).
