Kick-off: Fri 16 Oct, 8:00pm / Turf Moor / Championship (UK time)
Burnley's recent form shows a struggle for consistency, with their last ten matches resulting in one win, five draws, and four losses. They have drawn four of their last five games, indicating a difficulty in converting draws into wins. Over their last ten matches, Burnley have scored an average of 1.5 goals per game but conceded 1.9 goals per game, managing only one clean sheet in that period.
Wolves' recent performance is somewhat mixed, with four wins, one draw, and five losses in their last ten outings. Their form includes a pattern of alternating wins and losses. In their last ten matches, Wolves have averaged 1.6 goals scored per game and conceded 1.3 goals per game, keeping three clean sheets in the process.
Looking at the last five head-to-head encounters between these two sides, the results have been varied. There have been two draws, with Burnley winning once and Wolves securing two victories. The most recent match, in May 2026, ended in a 1-1 draw at Turf Moor. Prior to that, Wolves won 2-0 at home in August 2024 and 1-0 in December 2023, while Burnley claimed a 3-2 away win in October 2025.
Considering Burnley's recent run of draws and their tendency to concede, coupled with Wolves' slightly better scoring record and more clean sheets, this match could be an open affair. Wolves have shown they can win on the road against Burnley, but Burnley's home advantage and recent draws suggest they are not easily beaten. Given the attacking averages and the head-to-head history, a competitive match with goals from both sides seems plausible.
Total Goals: Over 2.5 Goals @ 1.80
Our recommended bet for this fixture is 'Total Goals: Over 2.5 Goals' at odds of 1.80. Burnley have averaged 1.5 goals scored and 1.9 goals conceded in their last ten, while Wolves have averaged 1.6 goals scored and 1.3 goals conceded. Both teams have shown a capacity to score and concede, suggesting a match with multiple goals is a strong possibility. Please bet responsibly.
