Betting suggestion:

The market we suggest for this game is '' plus 2.5 goals ''. Despite playing away from home, we have admitted that Chelsea dominates part of the game and enjoys the best chances of goals, but Wolverhampton's quick transitions should create difficulties for the visiting team.

Having said this and taking into account that the two formations aim to advance in the competition, betting on the goals in this match is of enormous value.

Analysis Wolverhampton

The home team comes to this stage of the FA Cup (5th Round) after having eliminated: Liverpool and Stoke City. This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 5 wins, 4 draws and 6 losses in away matches, with 17 goals scored and 17 conceded; against 4 wins, 3 draws and 8 losses at their stadium, with 18 goals scored and 25 conceded. In their last match, for the Championship, they got a home loss against Wigan Athletic by (0‑1). In the last 10 home matches Wolverhampton Wanderers has won 2, tied 1 and lost 7. They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches. They have conceded the first goal in 4 of their 15 matches, and have never been able to turn the score around.

Wolverhampton Wanderers kick-off with a 0-1 defeat at home to Wigan, adding to their third consecutive defeat in the league. With this snub, the home team approached the relegation zone of the second English league. In this match against powerful Chelsea, Coach Paul Lambert should opt for a more defensive strategy, exploring only the counterattack: Hélder Costa is the main responsible for this type of transition. David Edwards is the great highlight of Wolverhampton with 9 goals scored. For this game the home coach cannot count on Graham, Zyro and Silvio, players recovering from injury.

Confirmed Lineup: Carl Ikeme, Conor Coady, Matt Doherty, Danny Batth, Kortney Hause, George Alan Saville, Jack Price, David Edwards, Hélder Costa, J. Böðvarsson, Andreas Weimann.
Coach: R. Edwards.

Analysis Chelsea

The away team comes to this stage of the FA Cup (5th Round) after havinf played in the previous rounds against: Brentford and Peterborough United. This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 8 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses in away matches, with 22 goals scored and 15 conceded; against 14 wins and 1 loss at their stadium, with 44 goals scored and 10 conceded. In their last match, for the Premier League, they got an away tie against Burnley by (1‑1). In the last 10 away matches Chelsea has won 6, tied 2 and lost 2. Their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches. In their away matches there is a tendency for goals, since 24 of the last 28 matches have ended with Over 1,5 goals. This is a team that likes to score first. They have opened up the score in 12 of the last 15 matches, they have reached half‑time in front in 10 of those 12 matches and have held on to the lead until the end of the 90' in 10 of them.

Chelsea start for this game a bit unmotivated after having added another draw away from home, this time in the field of Burnley to 1-1: Pedro made the only goal of the team. Despite this equality, the Blues continue in the leadership of the English championship with 60 points added. In this match away from home coach Antonio Conte should play in 3-4-3 benefiting possession of the ball and organized attacks, especially through the corridors: Hazard is a very fast and competent player in transporting the ball to the attack. It is important to note that Diego Costa is the great killer of Chelsea with 15 goals scored. Central John Terry and David Luiz are the only ones missing from this game due to injury.

Confirmed Lineup: Nathan Aké, John Terry, Kurt Zouma, Nathaniel Chalobah, Victor Moses, Pedro, Diego Costa, Willian, Eden Hazard, Steve Potts.
