The Premier League Matchday 9 clash between Wolverhampton and Burnley will take place on October 26 at Molineux Stadium. Wolverhampton vs. Burnley: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
Wolverhampton
Vítor Pereira's side visited league newcomer Sunderland in the last round and suffered a 0-2 defeat. Before that, the team had been unbeaten in two consecutive league matches, drawing with Tottenham and Brighton (both 1-1). As a result, the club's winless streak in the Premier League has grown to 12 matches – 3 draws and 9 losses. Wolverhampton is at the bottom of the table, trailing the safety zone by 5 points.
- The club has not scored more than 1 goal in their last five league matches.
- Wolverhampton has gone winless in their last 6 home matches in the Premier League (2 draws and 4 losses).
- The team has secured just 1 first-half victory in their last 12 Premier League games (1 draw, 10 losses).
Predicted lineup for Wolverhampton (4-3-3)
Sam Johnstone – Ladislav Krejci, Matt Doherty, Santiago Bueno, Hugo Bueno – Andre, Rodrigo Gomes, Marshall Munetsi – John Arias, Jorgen Larsen, Joao Gomes.
Burnley
Scott Parker's side secured their second victory of the current championship in the last round, defeating Leeds 2-0 at home. Previously, the team had also beaten Sunderland at home with the same scoreline. So far, Burnley has only managed to defeat Premier League newcomers, whom they faced in the Championship last season. The club has exited the relegation zone but is only two points clear of it.
- The club has not won in 10 of their last 12 Premier League matches – 2 draws and 8 losses.
- Both teams scored in 14 of Burnley's last 19 league games.
- The team is on a five-match losing streak away from home in the Premier League.
Predicted lineup for Burnley (4-2-3-1)
Martin Dubravka – Axel Tuanzebe, Kyle Walker, Quilindschy Hartman, Maxime Esteve – Lesley Ugochukwu, Florentino – Josh Cullen, Jacob Bruun Larsen, Jadon Anthony – Zian Flemming.

Wolverhampton vs. Burnley: Match Prediction
A clash between opponents from the lower part of the standings. The motivation to face a direct competitor in the fight for survival in the league is significant. Wolverhampton is having a poor season and desperately needs victories. If they can't beat such a weak opponent as Burnley at home, Vítor Pereira might face dismissal.
The hosts of the upcoming match are the only team in the league without a win. I believe that they will finally secure a victory in this game. After all, Burnley looks weak away from home and often concedes two or more goals on the road in the Premier League. The last encounter between these opponents at Molineux ended with a 1-0 victory for Wolverhampton. A similar result is likely this time as well.
My prediction – Wolverhampton Win
