As an experienced sports betting pro or newcomer without equity, you can easily participate in the 2nd matchday of the Premier League with a no deposit freebet! My betting friends will explain to you how to do this
Meanwhile, I’ll give you a promising Wolverhampton Chelsea tip that you can submit to the state provider together with the Oddset free bet.
Will the “Blues” come out on top on Sunday despite the confusing personnel situation?
It’s just a shame that the boys from Chelsea FC can’t play American football and therefore won’t play a role in our weekly column on the best NFL tips of each game week.
But with a completely bloated squad of almost 50 players, including 6 goalkeepers, they would at least have fulfilled the personnel requirements for a football match.
The squad must therefore be reduced as quickly as possible to allow coach Enzo Maresca to work better with his players and prepare them as well as possible for Premier League games such as the one against Wolverhampton.
Apropos Premier League: The Blues lost 2-0 to Manchester City on the first matchday, the third time in a row that the Londoners have started a Premier League season with a defeat.
Wolverhampton also lost their own opening game against Arsenal FC by the same score, which should come as no surprise as the Gunners are probably the best capital city club in the country again this season.
Meanwhile, sports betting providers with Apple Pay as a deposit function – but also those without – expect Chelsea to make a successful appearance at the Molineux Stadium on Sunday, as the Blues have been given the role of favorites at around 1.78.
Personally, I’m more interested in the Wolves Chelsea odds, which speculate that the hosts can at least stand up to the Londoners.
And why not? After all, it has worked wonderfully in recent seasons!
The Wanderers have won all of their last three Premier League games against Chelsea, which is the same number of victories as in the previous 17 encounters (4 draws, 10 defeats).
Only once before have they enjoyed a longer winning streak against the Blues, when they won five league games in a row between November 1938 and September 1947.
A home win bet or at least a double chance 1X bet are therefore offers at average odds of around 4.40 and 2.10 that could pay off and depend on your own individual risk appetite.
However, if – like me – you tend to take less risk, then you should join me and limit your Wolverhampton Chelsea betting tip to a BTS bet. The statistical reasons for such a betting maneuver are almost overwhelming.
Keep in mind: Chelsea have conceded at least one goal in each of their last 16 Premier League away games, which is the longest run without a single ‘clean sheet’ away from home since a negative run of 24 games between January 1993 and February 1994.
Chelsea coach Enzo Maresca denies that the high number of players in the squad is a concern, but I suspect that this vast array of players is increasingly becoming a problem.
Chelsea gave four players the opportunity to make their Premier League debuts against Manchester City on Sunday (Guiu, Veiga, Dewsbury-Hall, Neto), taking the total number of debutants since the start of last season to a whopping 23.
That’s five more than any other club that hasn’t been promoted to the league in that time. All this experimentation naturally prevents a well-coordinated starting eleven from emerging
However, although the Londoners’ starting eleven varies greatly from week to week due to the large number of players, some key players are set – including Enzo Fernandez!
The Argentine led all Chelsea stats in the aforementioned opening defeat to Manchester City in the categories of shots (3) and contacts in the opposition penalty area (7).
By the way: During the week, the Blues competed in the unfamiliar Conference League and may soon become the second English Premier League club to lift the fledgling trophy in only the fourth edition of this competition.
In the UECL play-offs, a significant step towards the main round was already taken in the first leg, as Servette overcame Geneva 2:0.
Conclusion: Enzo Maresca can tell you what he wants: I don’t think it’s easy for him to form a strong squad in a hurry with all these players.
Especially as the many players who are already playing no part in his plans will sooner or later cause a lot of trouble in the dressing room.
Wolverhampton are not a team from whom too much should be expected in 2024/25. But from their underdog role, they have managed to surprise on several occasions against this opponent in recent seasons.
However, my Wolverhampton Chelsea tip is to play it safe: Both will score
