With their 8 point advantage in the league table, Wolverhampton Wanderers fans are hoping to see their team collect maximum points from this game against Burnley.

Wolverhampton Wanderers form and stats

Wolverhampton Wanderers have collected 22 points from their Premier League home games so far after 6-4-6.

Wolverhampton Wanderers are confident in defense, having played 232 minutes without conceding a goal in the league.

Wolves's last game was hosting Sheffield United (placed 20th) and winning 1-0. A strong away win before that one, visiting Fulham and winning 1-0.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Wolves have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found seven games) they have won four times, drawn three and lost zero.

Wolves are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 18 goals in 16 games. Wolves's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 18 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Burnley form and stats

There's been little loot from Burnley's travels as they have only collected 15 points from 16 away games in the Premier League. Burnley only have 4 wins to counter their 9 defeats and 3 draws. Recent form does not give Burnley much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Wolverhampton Wanderers will be a tough nut to crack. The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Burnley have lost on their last two travels.

There might be some fixture complaints from Burnley as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the Premier League match against Manchester United (1-3). A loss against Newcastle United was the result prior to that, in a home game.

We have checked recent matches where Burnley have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those ten games were six victories, three draws and one defeat.

The attacking power of Burnley when travelling is not overwhelming with 13 goals scored from 16 league matches away. In the opposite end, Burnley have conceded 27 goals in their away games.

Head 2 Head

This is the result when the teams met earlier this season; Burnley - Wolves 2-1. H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Wolverhampton Wanderers two wins, four draws and Burnley four victories. As for goals, three matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), seven games had two or less.
