THE LOWDOWN

WOLVES

  • Wolves put another point on the board with a 0-0 draw away at Norwich this past Saturday and Bruno Lage’s side have now lost just one of their last eight Premier League fixtures, winning their last three at home.
  • Daniel Podence missed the trip to Norwich after testing positive for COVID-19 and will be joined on the sidelines here by influential midfielder Ruben Neves, who is suspended after accumulating five yellow cards.

BURNLEY

  • Burnley had an unexpected weekend off after their home match against Tottenham was postponed due to heavy snow, although this leaves them still inside the bottom with the gap between themselves and safety currently three points.
  • The Tottenham game being postponed means that both defender James Tarkowski and midfielder Ashley Westwood will serve their one-match suspensions here instead, whilst striker Ashley Barnes has been ruled out through injury.

THE PREDICTION

Wolves will enter this contest as favourites when taking into account their excellent recent home form, however Burnley are not to be underestimated having not lost in four Premier League matches. The Clarets are a very well organised unit under Sean Dyche, but will be aware of their lack of clean sheets this season and will be looking to rectify that against a Wolves team that does not score many goals despite their good form. Four of Wolves’ last five league games have seen under 2.5 goals scored and against a robust opposition like Burnley, the same outcome has to be favoured in this encounter.

Tip: UNDER 2.5 GOALS
