On August 25th, Wolves will host Chelsea in the second round of the Premier League. Wolves have won their last three matches against Chelsea, and will be looking to complete a four-game winning streak in their home opener. Chelsea, despite internal turmoil, are hoping for their first win of the new season.
Wolves lost two key players from last season, Pedro Neto and Kilman, while their summer transfer window saw only minor additions, including Rodrigo Gomes for €15 million. Chelsea, on the other hand, have been the busiest team in the transfer market, spending over €150 million on new signings, bringing in Félix, Neto, Jørgensen, Hall, and Giou, pushing the number of players in the Blues’ first team to over 40.
Wolves lost their opening match 0-2 away to Arsenal, and this game will be their first home match of the season. Their home form towards the end of last season was poor, with only one win and four losses in their last five home games.
Chelsea also lost their season opener 0-2 to Manchester City, but bounced back with a 2-0 victory over Servette in the UEFA Conference League, giving new manager Maresca his first win in charge. Their away form in the latter part of last season was decent, with three wins, four draws, and only one loss in their last eight away games, the only loss being against Arsenal.
In their last ten encounters, Wolves hold a slight advantage with four wins, three draws, and three losses. They have won their last three matches against Chelsea, with the last time Chelsea won at Wolves dating back to the 2019-20 season.
Returning home, Wolves are looking to continue their dominance over Chelsea and claim their first win of the season. Chelsea, despite their superior squad on paper, are facing an uphill battle due to a turbulent internal atmosphere. Issues with players like Sterling have seriously affected the team’s fighting spirit.
Off-field factors might heavily influence the outcome of this match, but both teams, after losing their opening games, will be desperate to avoid a second consecutive defeat.
