Wolverhampton

Wolverhampton played on Saturday, December 2, against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium in London. The team was defeated by the current leaders of the Premier League by a score of 2-1. The team conceded two goals very quickly, with Bukayo Saka scoring for London’s team in the 6th minute of the first half, and Martin Ødegaard adding the second goal for Arsenal in the 16th minute. The match was already challenging for Wolverhampton, facing a Big Six team away from home. The team managed to score a consolation goal, but it was a bit too late. Matheus Cunha scored the honor goal in the 86th minute.

This result brought the second consecutive defeat for Wolverhampton, raising an alert for the team, currently occupying the thirteenth position in the Premier League standings with 15 points. Teams like Fulham, Forest, and Bournemouth are closing in on them in the league table.

In their last 5 results, Wolverhampton has only secured one victory against Tottenham. After that, they suffered three defeats and managed one draw. In the 2023/24 season of the English Premier League, Wolverhampton has a record of 4 wins, 3 draws, and 7 losses.

Burnley

Burnley comes into this game after playing their last match in the 14th round of the Premier League against Sheff Utd. Playing at home, Burnley secured a 5-0 victory. This match was a clash between the worst-performing teams in the English championship this season. Burnley currently occupies the penultimate position in the Premier League standings (19th) with 7 points. Sheff Utd is in the twentieth position with only 5 points. Now, Burnley’s direct battle is against Everton and Luton to try to escape the relegation zone.

To give an idea, this was only the second victory for Burnley in 14 rounds so far. Their only other three-point achievement was in the second round of the EPL Championship against Luton Town, where they won 2-1. Burnley has recorded 4 defeats and 1 victory in their recent Premier League campaign.

Arsenal 3 – 1 Burnley
Burnley 1 – 2 West Ham
Burnley 5 – 0 Sheff Utd

Burnley, a team promoted to the Premier League this season from the EFL Championship, is experiencing the usual adjustment period. However, coach Vincent Kompany’s team urgently needs to improve their performance to avoid the ups and downs of relegation. Burnley has the second-worst defense, conceding 32 goals, and their attack hasn’t been prolific with 15 goals scored. With a weak squad and defense, Burnley seems to be heading towards a swift return to the EFL Championship, despite it being only the fifteenth round.

The statistics for Burnley playing away from home show an average of 0.83 goals scored per game and 2.5 goals conceded as visitors. In total, Burnley has conceded 12 goals in away matches in the Premier League.

Wolverhampton vs Burnley: Predictions and Betting Tips

Analyzing the odds for the betting market, Wolverhampton enters with odds priced at -125 at the bet365 sportsbook, while Burnley has odds of +333 to win the match. These odds seem acceptable; Wolverhampton is coming off two defeats, but besides being away, the recent loss to Fulham showed the team’s resilience, almost erasing a 3-goal deficit, along with a VAR controversy. In the defeat to Arsenal, two consecutive goals due to lapses in concentration put the team at an early disadvantage. These odds appear fair if you want to bet on the main victory line in this match. Wolverhampton now plays at home against a team that has conceded 12 goals playing away, with only two victories in the league. Consider placing a bet on Wolverhampton to win this match.

The goal market lines are set at Over 2.5 with odds of -118. I would buy these odds at a minimum price of -111. For another bet in this match, I like the alternative corner line in favor of Wolverhampton, on the Asian handicap line – corners -1.0. Wolverhampton is expected to maintain their home posture in this game against a fragile Burnley side. Take this bet with odds -118 at the bet365 sportsbook.
