Prediction Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Chelsea 2025/2026 season – Betting Tips for the Carabao Cup on 29/10/2025

Match context and recent form

Molineux will host a Carabao Cup Round 4 tie that looks weighted in Chelsea’s favour on paper, but the setting promises intrigue. Wolverhampton Wanderers arrive with wobbling league form and home numbers that tell a mixed story: while they’ve scored five goals at home and conceded only two in the limited sample available, their sequence across competitions reads poorly — two wins, two draws and six losses in their latest ten. That run includes a 2-3 defeat to Burnley on October 26 where Santiago Bueno emerged as the best performer on the day, but also draws against Brighton and Tottenham and a more recent 0-2 loss at Sunderland. Confidence at the club appears fragile.

Chelsea, by contrast, bring a more convincing string of results. Their run shows five wins, one draw and four losses in the last ten, but the club has produced potent attacking displays: a 5-1 victory over Ajax and 3-0 at Nottingham Forest feature among their recent outings. A setback at Sunderland on October 25 interrupted that momentum — Enzo Fernández was the standout performer in an otherwise disappointing scoreline — but overall Chelsea’s rhythm suggests they are the team with greater cohesion and firepower coming into this cup tie.

Head-to-head and stylistic clues

The most recent H2H meeting earlier in 2025 saw Chelsea claim a 3-1 win over Wolves in the Premier League, a reminder that the Blues have previously broken down the home side’s resistance. Statistically both sides show appetite for goal-rich matches in the samples provided: Wolves’ home fixtures indicate both teams scored in their most recent home game and Chelsea’s away metrics point to a 100% rate of both teams scoring on their travels in the available data. Shot maps and attacking indicators also tilt towards open football — Wolves average more total shots at home while Chelsea register strong attacking returns away.

Bookmakers have reflected this balance: Chelsea are priced as favorites at around 1.69, with the draw well into double digits and Wolves long at 4.50. The probability implied by those odds places Chelsea as the side most expected to advance, but the match hints at scoring from both ends rather than a grinding shutout.

Prediction and betting suggestion

Expect a lively cup night where Chelsea’s attacking quality edges them over a nervy Wolves side, but not without concessions at the other end. The data points to goals coming from both camps, and while Chelsea are the sensible match-winner on paper, the safer value lies in the goal market. Betting suggestion: Both Teams To Score — Yes. This selection reflects the recent head-to-head results, Chelsea’s away attacking output, and Wolves’ home matches showing both sides finding the net.
