Wolves vs Burnley Prediction & Betting Tips (28 August)

Comfortably installed in the soft underbelly of the Premier League last year, Wolverhampton hope to repeat such a performance this season. However, the task does not appear to be so easy. Indeed, Mario Lemina's teammates lost important elements during the off-season and this was felt during the first 2 days of the championship. Opposed to big names, they showed serious shortcomings on the pitch of Arsenal 2-0 and against Chelsea last weekend 2-6. Wolverhampton will quickly have to find the right formula otherwise they will experience a difficult 2024/2025 financial year. Returning to the elite last year, Burnley failed to get up to speed and could not avoid relegation 19th.

This season, the Clarets do not lack ambition and are logically considered favorites in the Championship. It all started well with inaugural successes against Luton Town 1-4 and Cardiff 5-0. On the other hand, Burnley suffered a setback last weekend with a short setback suffered at leader Sunderland 1-0.  come.

During the offseason, Wolverhampton lost two major elements. These are defender and captain Kilman (West Ham) as well as winger Pedro Neto (Chelsea). Furthermore, the full-backs Hoever (Auxerre) and Bueno (Feyenoord) were loaned. To compensate for these departures, full-back Pedro Lima (Sport Recife), midfielder Doyle (Manchester City), winger Rodrigo Gomes (Braga) and striker Strand Larsen (Celta Vigo) arrived at the club. For this meeting, the offensive sector is weakened by injuries to the long-term absentee Kalajdzic as well as the promising Chiwome (18 years old) and Gonzalez (19 years old). Both scorers last weekend, strikers Matheus Cunha and Strand Larsen must play an important role for Wolves this season as does South Korean Hwang. In the midfield, captain Lemina and Brazilian international Joao Gomes act as captains.

Following Burnley's relegation to the Championship, goalkeeper Muric (Ipswich), defender O'Shea (Ipswich), midfielder Berge (Fulham) and wingers Odobert (Tottenham) and Zaroury (Lens) set sail. Experienced left-back Taylor (Southampton) also left. Conversely, the Clarets have enlisted defenders Estève (Montpellier), Worrall (Nottingham Forest), Sambo (PSV) and Lucas Pires (Santos), winger Trésor (Genk) as well as attacker Hountondji (Caen). In addition, goalkeeper Green (Saint-Etienne) arrived free while defender Humphreys (Chelsea) was loaned. This Wednesday, we must mention the packages of rookie Trésor and potential starters Ekdal, Al-Dakhil, Delcroix (defenders), Beyer, Ramsey and Redmond (midfielders). In the offensive area, the executives Koleosho, Vitinho and Foster could take their place.
