"Wolves" must snatch victory! Wolverhampton vs Burnley Prediction
One of the matches in the EFL Cup will take place on Wednesday at the Molineux Stadium, where Wolverhampton will host Burnley. Here is a preview and prediction for this match from the experts at Dailysports.
Wolverhampton
The "Wolves" had a challenging season, which began with the departure of their head coach, Julen Lopetegui. Despite this, his replacement, Gary O'Neill, managed to rally the team, ultimately leading them to a respectable 14th place finish in the Premier League. Over the summer, the club lost several key players but received a significant €107.5 million in transfer fees.
The fixture list hasn't been kind to Wolves in the early stages of the season. They lost their first match away to Arsenal 0-2, and last weekend, they suffered a heavy 2-6 defeat at home to Chelsea.
Burnley
Last season, under the guidance of Vincent Kompany, Burnley struggled to avoid relegation but ultimately finished last in the Premier League. After Kompany's departure to Bayern Munich, Scott Parker took over as head coach.
The good news for Burnley is that they managed to retain their key players, and their early results in the Championship indicate they are aiming for promotion this season. They convincingly defeated Luton Town 4-1 away in their first match and followed it up with a 5-0 thrashing of Cardiff City at home. However, last weekend, they suffered their first loss, a 0-1 away defeat to Sunderland.
