Wolverhampton vs Burnley Predictions

• Wolves are unbeaten in their last four at Molineux (W2, D2).
• Burnley have seven defeats in their last eight games.
• Both teams have scored in Wolves’ last 12 games.

Clarets looking to back up Blades battering

Burnley claimed their first home points of the season on Saturday as they thrashed 10-man Sheffield United 5-0 but they may struggle to back that up with a result at Wolves.

The hosts come into the game after two defeats but both of those losses came on the road, and at Molineux they have looked a real force in recent weeks.

Home advantage key for Wolves

Wolves have eight points from the last 12 available at home and all of those games have come against sides currently in the top six.

Prior to beating the Blades, Burnley had lost seven games in a row and they’ve lost their last four away from home across all competitions.

Wolves gave a good account of themselves in the second half of their 2-1 loss at Arsenal on Saturday and a similar performance here should be enough for all three points.

Clarets can strike in defeat

A Wolves win looks a strong option for our main bet, but Burnley can at least get on the scoresheet. There have been goals at both ends in each of Wolves’ last 12 games across all competitions and their only home clean sheet has come against League One outfit Blackpool in the EFL Cup. Burnley have conceded exactly three goals in three of their last four away from home, so a 3-1 win for the home side is the correct score prediction.

Hwang Hee-chan has seven goals in 13 league games for Wolves and the South Korean has two in his last four games for club and country. Hwang will also be on spot kick duties on Tuesday, and as such he looks a good contender for a goal at anytime.
