Wolves vs NS Chelsea

A Desperate Stand at Molineux Stadium

Worth Watching Futmetrix Score: 65/100. Wolves are fighting for their Premier League lives in a high-pressure relegation battle against a Chelsea side looking to cement their place in the top four.

The Setup

The situation at Molineux Stadium is reaching a boiling point. On February 07, 2026, Wolves enter this fixture rooted to the bottom of the table in 20th place. With only one win in 24 matches, their Stakes are clear: they must find points immediately or face the drop. Despite a slight uptick in their Form (LLDDW), the defensive record of 45 goals conceded highlights a fragility that Chelsea is well-equipped to exploit. The visitors arrive in 4th place, boasting a squad of elite Stars including C. Palmer and M. Caicedo. While the Balance heavily favors the London side, the desperation of a relegation battle often produces unpredictable energy that the Blues must withstand.

Key Battle

This match will be decided by the structural integrity of the Wolves defensive block against Chelsea’s creative engine. The home side’s midfield, led by João Gomes, faces the daunting task of tracking late runs and preventing vertical passes into the final third. If the Wolves backline can remain compact and force the visitors wide, they may frustrate a Chelsea side that occasionally struggles to break down deep-lying opponents. However, the visitors' ability to rotate positions and maintain high possession will likely stretch the hosts to their breaking point.

Our Prediction

While Wolves will show plenty of grit, the technical disparity is too large to ignore. Chelsea are expected to control the rhythm through Enzo Fernández, eventually finding the breakthrough as the home side tires. A 0-2 away win is the most likely outcome, with the Blues' quality in the final third proving decisive while J. Strand Larsen finds himself isolated up front for the struggling hosts.
