Venue (City, Stadium) | Burnley, Turf Moor |
Burnley host Wolverhampton at Turf Moor on Friday night in the Championship, two former Premier League sides still hunting for steady footing. Here is our Burnley vs Wolverhampton prediction.
Nicky Hayen's Burnley sit 21st in the standings after a miserable start. The Clarets have steadied, though, and arrive unbeaten in three league games.
Cesar Peixoto's Wolves sit 10th in the standings, but the mood has soured with back-to-back league defeats heading into Turf Moor.
Burnley are undefeated in their last 8 home games against Wolves in all competitions. The Burnley vs Wolverhampton betting odds still make Wolves +135 (Polymarket) favorites to end that run.
Burnley vs Wolverhampton Recent Results
Burnley were heading for back-to-back Championship wins on Tuesday before a stoppage-time Ivan Mesik goal leveled it for Charlton. That followed a 4-0 rout at Watford. Goals are not the issue, since the Clarets have scored in all 10 league games this season. Jacob Bruun Larsen has been a live threat from the left. The back line is the real worry.
Wolves arrive in a slump, with defeats in three of their last four outings in all competitions. The latest was the ugliest, a humbling home loss to newly promoted Bolton in which they conceded twice in the closing stages. Mateus Mané and Fer López still give the front line real bite, both regularly getting shots away from the flanks.

Injuries & Suspensions
Burnley: E. Agyei (Injured/out), B. Humphreys (Injured/out), A. Barnes (Injured/out), H. Mejbri (Injured/out), A. Ramsey (Injured/out), Z. Amdouni (Injured/doubtful), U. Raghouber (Injured/doubtful), J. Beyer (Unfit), J. Cullen (Unfit), J. Banel (Unfit)
Wolverhampton: R. Jiménez (Injured/out), Y. Mosquera (Injured/out), B. Traoré (Injured/out), R. Gomes (Injured/out), B. Traoré (Injured/doubtful)
Burnley
Anel Ahmedhodzic picked up a knock against Charlton and will likely miss out, with Hjalmar Ekdal set to step in at center back. Hayen is also likely to recall Armando Broja to lead the line in place of Jamie Vardy. Zeki Amdouni is doubtful, a blow given his recent scoring touch. The probable XI below reflects those calls.
Wolverhampton
Peixoto should recall Marshall Munetsi for the trip to Turf Moor. Rodrigo Gomes is set for a spell on the sidelines after a fresh injury, and Raúl Jiménez and Y. Mosquera remain out, so the probable front three leans on Mané, Armstrong and López.

Burnley vs Wolverhampton Prediction & Best Picks
Our Prediction
Wolves take this one. Burnley's revival is real but thin, and they have failed to win 9 of their last 10 Championship games. Wolves sit well above them in the standings and carry more creative quality out wide, so even in a slump they hold the edge. Our call is Wolves winning an open game with goals at both ends, and that view drives our Burnley vs Wolverhampton best picks.
Best Picks
Wolverhampton to win in the Moneyline market. The model makes the Wolves the favorites away at Turf Moor. This sits in the Moneyline market. The projection gives Wolves a 44.26% win probability, which is above the implied probability of the best available price. Factor in the gap between the sides in the standings and Wolves are the right side.
Over 2.5 goals in the Total Goals Over/Under market. Burnley games have regularly been high-scoring. This one is in the Total Goals Over/Under market. The projected total of 2.68 goals clears the line. Over 2.5 has also landed in 12 of Burnley's last 15 Championship games, and with the Clarets scoring every week while leaking at the back, this has the makings of a messy, open night.
Burnley vs Wolverhampton Same Game Parlay
Our Burnley vs Wolverhampton same game parlay picks combine a Zeki Amdouni goal, both teams scoring, Mateus Mané over 2.5 shots and Burnley over 1.5 cards.
Amdouni has scored in 3 of his last 4 Championship appearances. He is doubtful, so check his status before kickoff, but if he plays he is Burnley's sharpest finisher.
Both Teams To Score has landed in 9 of Burnley's last 10 games. A Clarets attack that keeps finding the net and a defense that keeps leaking make Yes an easy fit.
Mané has attempted 3+ shots in 5 of his last 8 Championship appearances. Burnley struggle defending attacks down the wings, which plays straight into his hands.
Burnley have gone over 1.5 cards in 7 of their last 9 games. Opponents tend to play aggressively against Wolves, so look for the bookings to follow.

Burnley vs Wolverhampton Talking Points
Dead balls are the storyline to watch. Burnley have conceded seven set-piece goals, including penalties, which is the joint-highest total in the Championship, and they also struggle in aerial duels. Wolves are not airtight on set pieces either, but their real edge is in open play, where they create chances through individual skill and steal the ball high. Both Hayen and Peixoto are under scrutiny over early-season consistency, and Friday's loser walks away with more questions than answers.
