Wolves vs Burnley Prediction & Tips
Despite drawing 0-0 on the final matchday against Norwich, Wolves have matched their best Premier League (PL) start after 13 games in points (20). This start is similar to last season, in which they finished in thirteenth position in the table and suffered their worst loss in PL at home since 2012 against their rival in this match, Burnley (4-0).
There have been no problems at home for the Wolves in PL lately, as they have accumulated three consecutive victories in this condition although they have never registered four in a row in PL at Molineux. While wins can inspire confidence, historic home games against Burnley don’t. With just one win in the last five such games, the Wolves will have to break that trend to make history at this stadium.
Burnley know what it’s like to end home winning streaks – they did it last year to end Liverpool’s four-year unbeaten streak at Anfield, and they come fresh after their engagement last weekend against Los Angeles. Spurs was suspended due to snowfall. The “Clarets” come in with a solid performance, with a four-game unbeaten streak to keep (W1, E3).
Burnley coach Sean Dyche will be looking to extend his own streak against the Wolves as he has not lost in his last five games directed against them (W3, E2), averaging 1.90 points per game – the Highest against any team he has faced ten or more times. Dyche should be concerned regardless, as his team has not won in the last four PL games played on a Wednesday (E2, P2).
Players to watch: Raúl Jiménez has scored the winning goal three times for the Wolves this season – as he did the last time the Wolves beat Burnley at the Molineux (1-0). Meanwhile, Chris Wood has been involved in six goals in his last three games against Wolves (five goals, one assist), including a hat-trick at Molineux last season.
Highlight: Wolves’ last eight home victories at PL were recorded by one goal difference.
