  • Wolves lost 2-0 at Sunderland on Saturday

  • Burnley are out of the bottom three after beating Leeds 2-0

  • Recommended bet: Under 7.5 Shots on Target

Wolves, the only team in the Premier League without a win, are not quite in panic mode but will see Burnley's visit to Molineux as being close to a must-win affair.

The Old Gold are already five points from safety with just two draws to their name and will regard this fixture as a golden opportunity to get something in the wins column, with Burnley having lost all four road games.

Team news

Jean Bellegarde and Hwang Hee-chan should be available for Wolves after missing last week's loss to Sunderland with minor issues.

Lyle Foster is a doubt for Burnley, who will hope he has recovered from a dead leg. Jacob Bruun Larsens is another doubt for the Clarets.

The stats

Wolves are the only team in the Premier League yet to register a win with two draws to go alongside six defeats.

Burnley are averaging 7.5 shots per game, the lowest total of any side in the top division.

Wolves have won only 12 corners in their four home matches (3 per game); Burnley have won 22 corners in eight games (2.75 per game), home and away, the lowest total of any side.

Ten of the 15 goals conceded by Burnley have come after the 57th minute.

Burnley have picked up no points out of a possible 12 on their travels this term.

Prediction

It says much about the lack of regard for Burnley's away record that Wolves, the only team without a win in the Premier League, are odds-on to win this.

Wolves are enduring a terrible start with six defeats and a pair of draws to show for their efforts to date.

Yet despite that they get a 4/5 quote from LiveScoreBet which does make sense given home advantage and the wretchedness of Burnley on their travels.

Scott Parker's men have played four, lost four on the road so far, hardly a desperate statistic when you consider the four clubs they have been to were Tottenham, the two Manchester clubs and Aston Villa.

But it is also worth acknowledging that their only wins this season - at Turf Moor, obviously - have been against the sides who came up with them. And they rode their luck in last weekend's 2-0 win over Leeds.

The Clarets mustered just four shots last weekend, only three on target, and it is little wonder that no side averages fewer shots on target - 2.6 - than them.

Against Wolves they may get a chance to up that - though I would not necessarily want to bet on it.

This will be tense and under 7.5 match shots on target at odds-against looks a decent alternative to the 90-minute market.
