Wolverhampton vs Burnley Betting Tips: WOLVES TO WIN

The disappointing end to last season in England's top division, where they suffered defeats in eight of their final 12 matches, has unfortunately carried over into the new 2024-25 Premier League campaign, as their opening two fixtures have been anything but pleasant experiences.

To be fair, Gary O'Neil's side encountered daunting early tests, first suffering a 0-2 setback to championship favorites Arsenal and then being embarrassed in front of their home supporters with a crushing 2-6 loss to Chelsea during matchday two at Molineux.

Despite being firmly focused on their league commitments, Wolves will aim to inject some much-needed confidence by advancing to the third round of the EFL Cup for the fourth consecutive year, taking motivation from their 1-0 win against Burnley here last year.

Despite witnessing a massive exodus of 16 players over the summer, the Clarets have shown no signs of weakening, instead kicking off their immediate return to England’s top tier in stunning fashion by hammering both Luton Town (4-1) and Cardiff City (5-0) in their opening two fixtures.

Nevertheless, Burnley came up short in their quest to maintain an unblemished record in the Championship's third gameweek as they delivered a dismal performance at the Stadium of Light, falling 0-1 to Sunderland in a match where their attack was virtually invisible with just one shot on target.

Meetings between the two teams have been tightly contested with minimal goals, having seen just four goals across the last four head-to-head clashes, and we anticipate that this trend of low-scoring matches will persist, though we also believe that Wolves will showcase their quality on the pitch and turn it into a winning result.
