Chelsea vs Wolves Prediction Premier League

Chelsea vs Wolves Prediction and Betting Tips for Matchday 11 of the Premier League, scheduled for Saturday, November 8, 2025, at 20:00 GMT. The clash unfolds at Stamford Bridge and will be broadcast live on NOW TV and Sky Sports. The Blues are chasing another victory to solidify their spot near the top half, while Wolves are desperate to stop their slide. In this article, you’ll discover Premier League Stats insights and betting analysis from XpertStats tipsters.

Chelsea have lost only 14.4% of their Premier League minutes this season, the second-best figure in the league.
Wolves have spent 59.1% of their league time trailing, the highest of any team in England’s top flight.
João Pedro is set to make his 100th Premier League appearance, having contributed six goal involvements in his last nine games.
Chelsea average 7.6 corners per match, while Wolves concede 7.8: expect plenty of set-piece action.

Enzo Maresca’s Chelsea are beginning to show flashes of a real identity. Their 1-0 win over Tottenham last weekend was defined by control, patience, and that trademark midfield rhythm powered by Enzo Fernández and Moisés Caicedo. Sure, they stumbled midweek in a 2-2 draw at Qarabag, but context matters, a long flight, rotation, and a tricky surface. Still, they’ve now lost just three of their last six league games and boast one of the most balanced stat lines in England: 1.2 goals scored and 1.2 conceded per game. Their ability to dominate territory often translates into corner supremacy, averaging 7.6 per match, a clear edge they’ll look to exploit again.

João Pedro continues to be Maresca’s focal point in attack, and Saturday’s fixture marks a milestone: his 100th Premier League appearance. “We’re growing as a unit,” the Brazilian forward said earlier this week, hinting that confidence in the dressing room is quietly rising. That said, Chelsea remain a work in progress. Injuries to Romeo Lavia and Cole Palmer have trimmed their creative depth, but players like Garnacho and Neto (facing his former club) have stepped up when it matters. Stamford Bridge feels like a fortress again – not impenetrable, but stubborn enough to grind out results even on off-days.

Wolves, meanwhile, are in survival mode. The sacking of Vítor Pereira after a 3-0 loss to Fulham summed up their turmoil. Two points from ten games tell the story of a side sinking fast, with 59.1% of their league minutes spent chasing. It’s not just the results, it’s the lack of spark. They’ve scored only 0.2 goals per match on average and conceded 1.6, the league’s worst attacking and defensive combo. You have to wonder: can interim coaches James Collins and Richard Walker spark anything different? It’s a huge ask against one of the division’s most efficient home sides.

Historically, Chelsea have dominated this matchup. The Blues have won five of their last six against Wolves, including a 6-2 victory at Molineux last season. Even so, recent head-to-heads have been wild, with 25 goals across the last four meetings. Wolves’ defensive frailties and high foul count, 134 already this season, could invite more dead-ball danger. That’s where the hosts thrive. Whether through João Pedro’s movement or a clever Fernández delivery, Chelsea should find a way through. Based on the data and their steady improvement, a home win looks very much on the cards. Expect them to pile up corners along the way, too, it’s in their DNA, just like the confidence returning to Stamford Bridge. The Premier League Stats don’t lie.

Chelsea face Wolves on Saturday night with manager Enzo Maresca once again battling a growing injury list. Cole Palmer, Benoit Badiashile, Dario Essugo and Levi Colwill are ruled out, while Enzo Fernandez and Moises Caicedo continue to play through knocks. Liam Delap is set to return after suspension, but Reece James may be rested to manage fitness. Source: standard.co.uk.

Chelsea to Win
Chelsea enter this clash in better shape and rhythm than Wolves, who sit bottom with just two points from ten games. The Blues’ defensive structure has tightened under Maresca, losing only 14.4% of total match time in a trailing position – the second-lowest in the league. Wolves, in contrast, have spent 59.1% of their games behind, the most of any side. Chelsea’s attacking metrics are solid: they average 1.2 goals scored per game with 80% of matches seeing over 1.5 goals. Wolves’ dismal 0.2 goals per match and defensive instability (1.6 conceded per game) make it hard to imagine them holding off a Chelsea side improving week by week. Stamford Bridge has become a tough venue again, and Wolves’ morale is fragile after losing four straight matches. Expect the hosts to control possession, create more chances, and secure a comfortable win against a team clearly struggling to stay afloat.

Chelsea Over 4.5 Corners
Chelsea’s attacking approach under Maresca naturally produces high corner counts. The data backs it up: they average 7.6 corners won per match, with over 8.5 corners in 100% of their league games. Wolves’ defensive style adds fuel to that, they concede an average of 7.8 corners per match, among the highest in the Premier League. At home, Chelsea dominate possession, pressing deep and forcing frequent defensive interventions from opponents. Given Wolves’ tendency to sit back and absorb pressure, Chelsea should rack up corners early and often. With wide players like Pedro Neto and Garnacho constantly driving into the box, expect multiple deflections and blocked shots. Statistically and tactically, this line is comfortably within reach. Even if the match ends tight, Chelsea’s attacking pressure should easily deliver five or more corners before the final whistle.
