Wolves meet Burnley in a massive clash in the race for Premier League survival.
Victory would lift Wolves off the foot of the Premier League table, whilst Burnley can stay out of the relegation zone with at least a draw but a win would put the Clarets 16th.
Team News
Wolves could be without Hee-Chan Hwang again after he missed their 2-0 loss at Sunderland due to an unspecified injury.
Jean-Ricner Bellegarde (illness) will return but Leon Chiwone (ACL) is still absent.
Burnley will welcome Lyle Foster back from a leg injury which forced him to sit out their 2-0 home win over Leeds.
Jordan Beyer (hamstring), Conor Roberts (knee) and Zeki Amdouni (ACL) remain absent.
When is Kick-Off?
Wolves host Burnley at Molineux on Sunday 26 October at 2pm GMT, live on Sky Sports F1 in the UK.
Stat Attack
- Wolves have won just one of their last nine league meetings against Burnley (W1, D4, L4).
- Burnley have won one of their last five league visits to Wolves (W1, D2, L2).
- Both Wolves and Burnley have won one of their last three meetings by 1-0 results, whilst the other clash ended in a 1-1 draw in April 2024.
- Out of the bottom-placed clubs in England’s top four tiers after eight matchweeks this season, only Wolves failed to win a single league game in that period.
- Burnley are yet to claim a point away from home this season (L4).
Prediction
Certainly destined for a relegation battle and still winless, Wolves know that victory is imperative if want to keep touch with those just above them but they must be more clinical than they were at Sunderland.
Burnley meanwhile were clinical in their win at home to Leeds despite having been comfortably outplayed so will come here with confidence, as a win would surely put some daylight between themselves and the drop so there is additional motivation.
I however do expect this to be a close scrappy game as both teams know that a loss could be pivotal come end of season, but I can see Wolves somehow snatching a draw.
Prediction: Wolves 1-1 Burnley
