Chelsea take on the visitors Wolverhampton in the round 22 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Monday, January 20th at Stamford Bridge (London).
Chelsea looked terrible the season before last. And unsatisfactorily, given the ambitions and money spent on the players, they improved last season. As a result, Pochettino said goodbye to the post in the summer, after only a year of work. He was replaced by Maresca, and for a long time Enzo was clearly doing better. In the Conference League, the English showed a 100% result - 6 wins. In the EPL, gradually rising, in December they reached 2nd place, pushing Arsenal aside... And then they failed to win against four opponents in a row, which immediately threw them back to 4th position - now both the "gunners" and Nottingham Forest are higher. Well, at least they had fun with "Mokem" in the cup, defeating them 5-0. In the last round of the Premier League with Bournemouth, having opened the scoring, they ended up drawing 2-2 only at the end.

Wolverhampton are trying to improve after the change of coach. The Wolves were headed by O'Neill in the summer of 2023. Then suddenly, a couple of days before the start of the season, his predecessor, Julen Lopetegui, provoked a contract break. And Gary coped successfully, collecting 46 points with his new charges and finishing in 14th position. But the next draw was a failure. The management waited patiently enough for progress, but in the end they still changed the coach. And with the new manager, Vitor Pereira, they managed to give 2 "dry" victories, with Leicester and Manchester United. Then, however, there was only a draw with the crisis Tottenham, and Nottingham Forest lost altogether, 0-3. But they lifted their spirits with a 2-1 win, albeit in the cup against Bristol Rovers. In the next round against Newcastle, however, there was a 0-3 rout.
The Wolves managed to win three times in a row. But in August they lost 2-6 to the Blues. The Blues are considered clear favourites. But they have obvious problems in defence, so it is worth betting on the final "total over 3.0 goals".
Prediction for the match: Over 3.0 scored goals.
