In the 25th round of the English Premier League on February 7, 2026, Wolverhampton Wanderers will host Chelsea. The visitors are trying to secure a Champions League spot and hope to defeat the underdog.
Our Prediction for Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Chelsea
The club from Molineux looked extremely weak last season, but then they made a timely move by hiring Vítor Pereira at the height of their slump. He even managed to outpace Tottenham and draw level with Manchester United, finishing sixteenth with 42 points. However, this season the team is heading towards an anti-record, and this was already the case under the Portuguese coach and now with Edwards. Only since late December have they managed to go unbeaten, even beating West Ham and, in the cup, Shrewsbury. Still, they lost to both City and Bournemouth, and failed to score in those games.
In London, things seemed to be going well with Maresca last season (fourth in the EPL, with wins in the Conference League and the FIFA Club World Cup). Nevertheless, Enzo was dismissed at the New Year, even though the situation was not disastrous. His replacement, Rosenior, started off well. In the Champions League, they finished with an away win over Napoli. In the Premier League, they won three matches in a row. In the League Cup, they also tried to challenge Arsenal, but lost in the return leg.
The underdog displays expected statistics: an average of 0.63 goals scored and 1.88 conceded per match. The capital’s giants score an average of 1.75 goals per match and concede 1.13.
