LiontipsChelsea vs Wolverhampton. Prediction and Betting Tips for 2022-23 English Premier League (October 8, 2022).
Command Analysis
Although Chelsea spent 225 million euros on summer transfers, its start to the season has been disappointing. Consequently, Thomas Tuchel was replaced as head coach in September by Graham Potter. The contract was signed until 2027.
In the Champions League, the Blues have earned four points from three games. After a draw against Salzburg (1:1), they crushed AC Milan (3:0). In the Premier League, Chelsea is currently 5th place with 13 points to their name. In the last two rounds, they beat West Ham (2:1) and Crystal Palace (2:1).
Fofanaand Kante are out injured, and Chukwuemeka is a doubt for this weekend.
Wolverhampton finished the previous season in the middle of the table with 51 points from 38 games, which is a decent result. But the start to the new season was terrible. In the first eight games, the Wolves got one win and three draws. With six points, the team occupies the 18th line in the table.
Wolverhampton's manager Bruno Lage was sacked, too, and today the team will be led by interim coach Steve Davis. After a victory over Southampton (1:0), the Wolves suffered two defeats in the Premier League, to Manchester City (0:3) and to West Ham (0:2).
Jimenez, Neto, Kalajdzic, Collins, Neves, and Chiquinho have been ruled out of this fixture.

Tip and bets
We expect the hosts to dominate. Aside from the support of the stands, Chelsea have a fantastic team with very talented and skilled players. The Wolves have looked absolutely helpless so far this season, and we doubt they will be able to get any points in London this weekend.
Our prediction — Asian handicap (-1.5) to Chelsea
The Blues will probably go forward from the first minutes of the game. The team is in a good mood after beating AC Milan in the middle of the week, and we believe, they will demonstrate all of their skill on offense in the match with one of the outsiders. This should be a comfortable win for Chelsea.
Second bet — Chelsea to win by 3 goals
