In Wolves’ last 12 games, both teams have scored; in the Premier League this season, Burnley has let up 32 goals. Suggested wager: Burnley or a draw with over 2.5 goals
Burnley will be full of confidence going into their trip to Wolves on Tuesday after defeating Sheffield United 5-0 to move up from the bottom of the Premier League standings.
Prior to their demolition of the Blades, the Clarets had dropped all seven of their league home games this season. This victory has also put them within two points of safety.
Although Wolves has shown promise this season, defeating teams like Manchester City and Tottenham, they will enter this match having lost three of their previous four games.
Although head coach Gary O’Neil is optimistic the Portugal international will be fit to play Burnley, Wolves have concerns about goalkeeper Jose Sa’s fitness. The Portuguese international was pulled off during the first half of Saturday’s loss at Arsenal due to a back ailment.
After completing their bans, Mario Lemina and Joao Gomes will be available, while Pedro Neto is still doubtful due to a hamstring injury, and Joe Hodge is still out with a shoulder problem.
With Jack Cork still out due to an undisclosed injury, Burnley manager Vincent Kompany may stay with the starting lineup that dominated the Blades. However, goalkeeper Arijanet Muric may make a comeback to the matchday squad after being sick.
Mario Lemina and Joao Gomes will be available once their bans are up, while Pedro Neto is still doubtful because of a hamstring injury, and Joe Hodge is still out with a shoulder issue.
The starting lineup that dominated the Blades may be maintained by Burnley manager Vincent Kompany, while Jack Cork is still sidelined due to an injury that has not been reported. Nonetheless, after being ill, goalie Arijanet Muric might return to the matchday roster.
Before defeating Sheffield United, Burnley had dropped all seven of their home games in the top tier this season.
This season, Kompany’s team has gained four more points away from home than they have at home (three).
In their previous seven encounters with Wolves, the Clarets have gone undefeated with four victories and three draws.
Before their outstanding performance against Sheffield United on Saturday, Burnley had appeared to be little more than relegation fodder; yet, that triumph could serve as a spark for their fight for survival.
The Clarets have scored in their last three games and will be looking to add to their tally of goals and earn a point or two from their trip to Molineux to take on a Wolves team that has taken some notable opponents to the woods this season, but they have also been held and defeated by Sheffield United.
Wolves should be able to score against Burnley, who have let up 32 goals in their first 14 Premier League games, as they have both scored and conceded in each of their previous 12 games. However, the home team can still find it difficult to win all three points.
