- Chelsea FC U21 are undefeated in their last five matches, winning four and drawing one.
- Chelsea FC U21 are unbeaten in their last two away matches, winning both.
Chelsea FC U21 are in rampant form
Chelsea FC U21 are 2025-2026 Premier League 2’s best team to date, leading the table with 40 points from 18 matches, and they enter this fixture in red-hot form, unbeaten in their last five and with four wins and a draw in that sequence.
The Blues’ staff, who are now playing their part under the stewardship of a new head coach, have continued to put out a team with a clear identity this term, even if the nature of training and selection may have altered slightly since the summer. Chelsea FC U21 are possession-based, high-pressing and attack in a free-flowing way, while also giving it their all to close out matches in a dominant style.
Ten months after recording a convincing 4-0 victory over Wolves in this competition, Chelsea FC U21 have found their rhythm again with a 4-0 home thrashing of Sunderland Academy and a 4-1 victory away at Birmingham Academy.
Wolves need a boost
They will be looking for a fourth straight win on Friday, and the head-to-head record certainly points to a comfortable away win, with Chelsea having won the last two encounters between these two sides in Premier League 2.
Wolves currently sit 16th in Premier League 2 with 22 points from 17 games, after a difficult campaign for James Collins’ side. Collins’ men have had to deal with an inconsistent run of games in Premier League 2, with three wins, three draws and three losses at Molineux, conceding an average of 2.22 goals per home match.
Chelsea FC U21 should win the game
Wolverhampton U21’s recent run of five games has been dismal. They’re winless in that time, losing four and picking up a solitary point in a 2-2 draw away at Crystal Palace Academy after two heavy losses on the road, 6-0 to Manchester City Academy and 5-0 to Liverpool Academy.
The recent dominance of Chelsea FC U21 in this fixture, Wolves’ poor form, and the Blues’ current position at the top of the table, all point to an away win, and the odds are incredibly low in favour of the visitors, at 7/25. Wolves are 28/5 to pull a shock, which is simply inexplicable given their current form.
Over 2.5 goals at 1/4 seems like a value bet. Wolves are capable of scoring goals, with 2.11 per match on average at home, but their leaky defence is a worry. Chelsea FC U21 have been rampant recently, with their forwards and midfielders running riot in their last couple of games, and a repeat performance should see them comfortably win this clash.
