Chorley vs Wolves Prediction & Betting tips
Chorley experiences a little cup fairy tale. The small club from the north-west of England is in the fourth round of the FA Cup for the first time in club history. In the previous round, the Magpies – not to be confused with Newcastle, mind you – prevailed in the home game against Derby County, now the favorite killer is aiming for the next coup.
The Wolves had a very difficult lot at the cup opener almost two weeks ago, after all, the team of head coach Nuno EspĂrito Santo faced league rivals Crystal Palace. As the current form of Wolverhampton shows, the home win in the third round of the FA Cup was only a snapshot.
The club from West Midlands is currently in a form crisis, in the Premier League was last six game days ago three points.
Chorley :
In the National League North Chorley currently only occupies ninth place in the table; this makes the Magpies from northwest England just an average amateur football team. This makes the latest black and white cup fairy tale all the more surprising. For the first time in the club’s history, the traditional club from Lancashire is in the fourth round of the FA Cup.
On the way to the round of 32, Chorley has faced opponents such as Gateshead, York, Wigan, Peterborough and Derby County so far. The latter are represented in the championship, the second highest English division.
Even if the performance in the home game against Derby was praiseworthy, the Magpies largely benefited from the circumstances leading up to the game. The guests from the championship had to do without almost the entire professional team, in the cup a mixture of youth players from different departments played.
Almost two weeks have now passed since the cup coup in the third round of the FA Cup. In the domestic league, Chorley has lost and won the last two games, with the black and whites benefiting from home rights in both games.
The defense of the Magpies will have to arm itself in the fourth round of the FA Cup for the concentrated offensive of the Wolves. If you consider how weak the back team has presented itself over the entire season, it is probably only a matter of time before the first goals conceded on Friday evening.
Wolverhampton :
For Wolverhampton Wanderers, the upcoming cup task comes in handy. After an ongoing form crisis, a competitive success before the upcoming away game at Chelsea London would be at least a small break. After all, there was only one victory in the last seven competitive games across all competitions.
In the last week, the Wolves lost a half-time lead against West Brom. Despite playing superiority, there was in the end the 2: 3 home defeat against the second-bottom of the Premier League. This did not shrink the points cushion to the relegation places, but the defeat was not to be glossed over.
Wolverhampton remained without a win in the Premier League for the sixth time in a row. The last time the home game against Chelsea was won just over a month ago.
At the start of the cup, Wolverhampton caught a very difficult lot in the third round of the FA Cup with league rivals Crystal Palace. After a hard-fought 90 minutes of play, the Wolves prevailed 1-0. This time stands for table 14. The Premier League is a comparatively easy task, with Chorley the team from Santo meets a six-division club.
With the lower class opponent, the Portuguese trainer from Wolverhampton will probably try to avoid the double burden, so players from the second guard can be expected. If you take a look at the Wolves’ squad, a mixture of regular and reserve players should also be able to play the Friday opponent against the wall.
Among other things, Owen Otasowie, US midfielder of the U23, can hope for minutes. Speaking of Americans: This weekend the blockbuster event UFC 257 will take place, where US-American Dustin Poirier will challenge the former champion Conor McGregor.
