Chelsea is heavily favored in the English Premier League odds (-275) for Monday’s home match, and rightfully so. However, the Blues have failed to win in their previous five games. Luckily for them, Wolverhampton comes next. The Wolves are fighting to avoid the relegation zone, and no other team has conceded more goals than them, with 48.

Let’s take a deeper look at the betting lines and find the best Chelsea vs Wolverhampton picks!

Best Chelsea vs Wolverhampton Bets: Handicap, Player Prop

1. Chelsea -1½ (-105)

Chelsea failed to defeat Bournemouth in its last home game. The match against the Cherries finished 2-2 thanks to a late goal scored by Reece James, who came off the bench and scored in the 95th minute.

In my EPL prediction, I mentioned Bournemouth would put up a good fight, but I still expected Chelsea to win. The Blues should have won because they won possession with 57 percent and finished with 10 shots on goal, seven more than the visitors.

The good news is that the Blues extended their home-scoring streak to nine consecutive games, per Chelsea vs Wolverhampton stats. Although they’ve had trouble converting Stamford Bridge into a fortress, they scored 2+ goals in four of their previous six games.

That’s good news because, on Monday, they’ll face the worst defensive unit in the league. Wolverhampton conceded 48 goals in the first 21 games. Even Southampton, the team at the bottom of the standings, conceded fewer goals. That’s gotta hurt.

These two collided in late August, and Chelsea won 6-2. As if that weren’t enough, the Wolves lost their previous road game 3-0 to Newcastle. The Magpies are fourth, with only a one-point advantage over Chelsea.

I’m telling you, Chelsea will comfortably win. My soccer pick today is 4-1 for the correct score.

Bet This Pick: Chelsea -1.5 (-105)

 

2. Anytime Goalscorer: Noni Madueke (+210)

Cole Palmer is Chelsea’s best player by a mile. He also is the team’s top scorer with 14 goals. That’s precisely why the attacking midfielder is offering a -110 price at BetUS sportsbook as anytime goalscorer. It’s not a bad deal, but Madueke is ready to shine, as he did in the previous meeting between Chelsea and Wolverhampton.

In late August, Chelsea visited Wolverhampton and won 6-2. Madueke scored a hat-trick. Overall, the Englishman has scored five goals, enough to be the team’s third-highest scorer and to have won a spot in the starting lineup over Christopher Nkunku.

The Frenchman didn’t even play in the draw against Bournemouth while Madueke was a starter and played 81 minutes.

At 19, Madueke is eager to prove his worth. He hasn’t scored at Stamford Bridge since early October, but facing the worst defensive unit in the league seems like the perfect opportunity to hit the reset button. Bet online for Madueke to score on Monday.

As for Wolverhampton, there’s no better option than Matheus Cunha. First, the Brazilian is the team’s top scorer with 10 goals. Second, you can expect the Wolves to rely on the counter-attack, which means Cunha will probably be the only striker on the field. Finally, he’s +300 in the Premier League odds.

Bet This Pick: Noni Madueke Anytime Goalscorer (+210)
