Another Premier League weekend, and this one has a real edge to it. Wolves welcome Burnley to Molineux in what feels like a proper six-pointer already. Both sides are desperate for a win, both have struggled for consistency, and both have leaked far too many goals. So, who’s coming out on top this time? Let’s dive in.
Wolves have had a tough few weeks. Gary O’Neil’s side sit at the bottom end of the table, without a win in eight league matches. The biggest concern? They’ve conceded in every single game so far and haven’t managed a clean sheet all season. At home, they’ve been shaky — one draw, three defeats — and the fans are getting restless.
Matheus Cunha is still out with a hamstring issue, while Mario Lemina faces a late fitness test. Pedro Neto has been Wolves’ spark this season, and they’ll be counting on him to deliver again. Expect Pablo Sarabia and Hwang Hee-chan to flank him, with Joao Gomes holding things together in midfield.
As for Burnley, Vincent Kompany is under pressure too. His team have lost all four away games this season, conceding an average of 3.3 goals per match. That’s rough. However, there are some positives — Jaidon Anthony has been in great form, scoring four already, and Lyle Foster is back after suspension.
On the injury front, Burnley remain without Nathan Redmond and Michael Obafemi, while Aaron Ramsey is a doubt. Expect a lineup built for counterattacks — pace out wide, energy through the middle, and a focus on hitting Wolves on the break.
Wolves: Sa; Semedo, Dawson, Kilman, Aït-Nouri; Gomes, Lemina; Neto, Sarabia, Hwang; Kalajdzic
Burnley: Trafford; Roberts, O’Shea, Beyer, Taylor; Cullen, Berge; Koleosho, Odobert, Anthony; Foster
Neither side can defend for long spells, and both have attackers capable of nicking one. Wolves have conceded in all eight league games, and Burnley have shipped 13 on the road. That’s a recipe for action.
Betting angles worth a look:
Wolves’ home record is worrying — no wins in six at Molineux — while Burnley haven’t won away in their last four. Something’s got to give.
I’ll be honest: this one could be a bit scrappy. Wolves will have more of the ball, but Burnley are dangerous when the game stretches. If Wolves start slow, Burnley could punish them early. On the other hand, if Pedro Neto gets space, he’ll create chances.
Both teams need a win badly, which often means mistakes, open play, and goals. I don’t see either side sitting back.
Prediction: Burnley might just edge it. They’ve been creating more away than Wolves have at home, and Wolves’ defence is leaking goals for fun.
Match Prediction: Burnley to win. Bet with bet365.
I’m leaning towards 2-1 Burnley. Wolves will probably get on the scoresheet, but their back line can’t seem to hold out under pressure. Burnley’s front line looks sharper and hungrier right now, especially with Anthony and Foster linking up.
Correct Score Prediction: Wolves 1-2 Burnley. Bet with bet365.
Let’s talk goals. Burnley’s last four away games have all gone over 2.5 goals, while Wolves’ home fixtures have averaged nearly 4 goals per match. The stats don’t lie — these two leak goals.
If you want to play it safe, Over 2.5 Goals is the best option. But if you fancy a bigger price, Over 3.5 could hit too, especially if this turns into an end-to-end scrap.
Over/Under Prediction: Over 2.5 Goals. Bet with bet365.
Here’s a Wolves vs Burnley combo I like for Sunday afternoon:
That’s your value combo right there. Two teams that can’t defend, an in-form attacker, and a Burnley side that keeps piling on corners. It all fits.
Bet Builder Tip: Over 2.5 Goals, BTTS Yes, Jaidon Anthony to Score. Bet with bet365.

Burnley look slightly stronger right now. Their attack has been sharper, and Wolves can’t seem to hold a clean sheet.
I’m going with Burnley 2-1 Wolves. Goals on both sides, but Burnley to edge it.
Yes, both should find the net. The stats make it very likely.
Expect three or more. Over 2.5 Goals is the best pick.
