Burnley vs Wolverhampton: What to Expect
Burnley F.C.
Burnley sit in 21st place with eight points from ten matches. The team have recorded just one win, five draws and four defeats. Their 15:19 goal difference highlights their defensive problems.
Burnley have produced mixed results of late: they thrashed Watford (0:4), drew with Wrexham (1:1) and Derby County (1:1), but lost to Swansea (3:1). In the previous round, the team shared the points with Charlton Athletic (2:2). Jacob Bruun Larsen and Largie Ramazani scored, but the home side were unable to hold on to the lead.
Ahead of the Burnley vs Wolverhampton match prediction, hosts need to shore up their defence. Home advantage could work in the team’s favour, and an initial prediction of a win looks entirely realistic, provided they make better use of their chances.
Wolverhampton Wanderers F.C.
Wolves sit 10th with 14 points after nine matches. The team have four wins, two draws and three defeats, with a goal difference of 16:14.
In previous rounds, Wolverhampton beat Preston (1:3) and Stoke City (4:1), as well as defeating Sheffield United (0:1) and West Bromwich Albion (1:0). However, their recent results are a cause for concern: following a defeat to Middlesbrough (1:0), the team lost to Bolton (1:3). In their most recent match, Jean-Ricner Bellegarde scored the home side’s only goal, but the opposition proved more clinical.
Despite their run of poor form, the visitors have enough attacking firepower to cause their opponents problems in the Burnley vs Wolverhampton match. That said, the visitors’ chances will depend on whether they can regain their defensive solidity, as Wolves rarely leave the pitch without conceding.
