Burnley vs Wolves Prediction & Betting tips
Burnley wants to continue the upward trend against Wolverhampton. The Clarets picked up eight of the ten seasonal points in the last five match days. Thanks to this upswing, the relegation places could be abandoned and compared to the direct competitors in the table cellar Burnley even has one game less.
So the mood at the Weinroten has improved a bit. This also applies to the Wolves. The victory against Chelsea last day not only defeated a top team, but also ended a mini-crisis of two defeats in a row.
For the duel between Burnley and Wolverhampton, the tip aims to ensure that the home side will at least not leave the field as a loser. Spectators are not admitted to the encounter.
Burnley :
Burnley drew at Aston Villa last Thursday night. It was a flattering point as the Birmingham kickers dominated the game. Nevertheless, it fits into the picture of the slowly stabilizing team of coach Sean Dyche. The defensive row, which was still very shaky at the start of the season, is now clearly improved.
She conceded only one goal in the past three game rounds and the previously suffered 0: 5 swatter against City was well put away. With now five clean sheets, the club has a very decent yield, which is only topped by Aston Villa.
The attack remains a problem child. No team in the British House of Lords scores less often! Burnley’s attack series managed an average of half a gate per game. In this part of the team, as described, no improvement can be seen: Three hits were scored in the past five match days, which were actually not unsuccessful.
Just four Burnley players scored a goal and even last year’s top scorer, New Zealander Chris Wood, lost. With two goals after about a third of the season, the 29-year-old is currently far from a double-digit goal scoring as in the past three seasons in the Clarets jersey.
The weak pass rate fits into the picture: only around 72 percent arrive at the teammates – the lowest value in a league-wide comparison. On top of that, the opposing box is rarely targeted. The attack row has fired only 33 direct shots on goal – again the weakest record in the Premier League.
Against this background of the weak offensive and the failure of the best scorer with the opponent, the odds of less than three hits in the match at Turf Moor of Burnley against Wolverhampton are interesting on top of that.
The additional value tip is underpinned by the statistics of this pairing: Ten of the last twelve duels ended with a maximum of two goals!
Wolverhampton :
The Wolves have now apparently digested the shock of Raul Jimenez’s serious injury. Without the best scorer in recent years, the games against Liverpool and Aston Villa were both lost without their own celebrations. But the Blues were defeated on the previous day of the match.
Although the success was only achieved by a very late goal in the fifth minute of stoppage time, the goal by Neto was a large helping of balm for the battered self-confidence of the Wanderers. The 2-1 triumph was also not undeserved. The team was again more biting and aggressive.
Nonetheless, the failure of Jimenez is a heavy mortgage, and the goals for the season will be difficult to achieve without the Mexican. Especially with this pairing, Jimenez would have been important from Wolverhampton’s point of view. The striker has scored all three of the Wanderers’ goals against Burnley since advancing to the 2018/19 Premier League.
At least the Portuguese Joao Moutinho can play against Burnley again. The oldie in midfield has served his card suspension from the lost home game against Aston Villa. The day of the match can also be encouraging: The Wolves won eight of their ten away games on one Monday (8-1-1)!
