Burnley vs Wolves Prediction & Match Preview

• Burnley will go into this in highest spirits after holding Chelsea to a 2-2 stalemate on Saturday at Stamford Bridge.
• Clarets are now unbeaten in three consecutive Premier League outings.
• Wolves travel to Turf Moor off the back of three losses in the last four affairs across competitions.

Burnley showed an incredible team spirit to take a massive point on Saturday afternoon at Stamford Bridge. Things seemed lost for Clarets when Lorenz Assignon got sent off just before the half-time break. Cole Palmer converted the penalty kick and Burnley had a goal and a player deficit with the entire second half to play.

Nevertheless, Vincent Kompany’s men found a way to deliver four shots on target and score two goals after the interval. Josh Cullen was the hero with a goal and an assist for Clarets on the occasion. Burnley are now unbeaten in three straight Premier League games. They are only four points shy of the safe zone.

Clarets have a nice chance to keep the good form going on Tuesday evening. They host injury-crippled Wolves in Matchday No 31 at Turf Moor. Wolverhampton will go into this off the back of a 0-2 defeat away at Aston Villa on Saturday afternoon.

• Burnley have three wins and two losses in the previous five meetings with Wolverhampton.
• Wolves edged past Burnley in the return match played in December last year at Molineux Stadium (1-0).
• None of the previous five head-to-head outings saw goals scored at both ends.

Burnley vs Wolves Prediction

Burnley are flying high with a run of three subsequent league games without a defeat. Vincent Kompany and his men still have a mountain to climb to reach the safe zone but the first steps have already been made. The momentum has to be on their side going into this tie. Wolves were toothless in the final third in a 0-2 defeat at Aston Villa on Saturday. It was the third defeat in the last four outings across competitions for Gary O’Neil and his men. O’Neil has huge problems with injured players. He had to hand teenager Leon Chiwome his first league start on Saturday at Villa Park. Pedro Neto and Hwang Hee-Chan are still sidelined while Mattheus Cunha was not in the roster on Saturday despite O’Neil’s claims about his availability in press conferences. We will back Burnley to win here at the 2.80 odds.

To get a result here, Burnley will need to find a way to keep things quiet at the back. They boast the second-worst defensive record in the Premier League. However, the weekend’s performance at Stamford Bridge will represent a huge confidence-boost for Kompany’s men. Wolves lack proper attacking options due to injuries. Finally, three of the previous four head-to-head games between these counterparts ended with fewer than two goals scored. The value is great with the Under 2.5 goals bet at the 2.10 odds.
