Burnley vs Wolverhampton prediction and betting tips on April 02, 2024
Burnley will engage in one of the encounters of the 31st round of the English Premier League on the upcoming Tuesday at the "Turf Moor" arena, where they will host Wolverhampton. Will the "claret and blue" manage to capitalize on the home advantage? Here's the prediction for this match from the experts at Dailysports.
Burnley
The "claret and blue" are grappling with significant challenges in accumulating points in the ongoing Premier League campaign, and with each passing round, the prospects for Vincent Kompany's team to somehow retain their position in the elite division are diminishing. Following 30 rounds played, Burnley occupies the penultimate position in the league table, having amassed a mere 18 points.
On the other hand, this is only four points adrift from Nottingham Forest, who are in a safe position. However, it's not the poor performance of the "Forest" that's the issue but rather the punitive sanctions in the form of four deducted points. This allowed Burnley to reduce the gap from Forest. In the previous round, Vincent Kompany's side played an away match against Chelsea, ending in a 2-2 draw.
Wolverhampton
The "Wolves" retained their position in the elite division in the previous Premier League season. In the offseason, Wolverhampton parted ways with several key players along with manager Julen Lopetegui. However, the "Wolves" managed to overcome the challenges, find their rhythm, and currently sit in the tenth position in the league table.
In 29 matches, Gary O'Neill's side has garnered 41 points, nine of which came in the last five encounters. In the previous matchday, Wolverhampton played an away match against Aston Villa, who are in the top four, and suffered a 0-2 defeat. The "Wolves" exhibit inconsistent performances on the road. They lost their last two matches, although prior to that, they had two consecutive victories. Overall, in 15 away fixtures, Wolverhampton has secured five victories and suffered eight defeats.
Interesting facts about the match and head-to-head history
- In the first round, the "Wolves" defeated Burnley at their home ground with a score of 1-0.
- The victory in the first round marked the "Wolves'" first win in the last seven encounters against Burnley, with four losses during this period.
- In the last four encounters, the "Both Teams to Score" bet has not been successful.
Burnley vs Wolverhampton Prediction
The "Wolves" rightfully emerge as favorites; however, the disparity in odds for the guests is minimal. The hosts are expected to be more motivated, so opting for "Burnley not to lose" with a coefficient of 1.60 seems prudent.
