Wolves and Burnley will fight for three points in a Premier League ninth round clash on Sunday (October 26). The match will be played at Molineux Stadium.
The home side will be looking to bounce back from the 2-0 defeat they suffered at the hands of Sunderland last weekend. Nordi Mukiele broke the deadlock in the 16th minute, while Ladislav Krejci's own goal in second-half stoppage time sealed Wolves' defeat.
Burnley, meanwhile, claimed maximum points against their fellow newcomers Leeds United with a 2-0 home win. Lesley Ugochukwu put them ahead in the 18th minute, while Loum Tchaouna doubled their lead midway through the second half.
The victory took the Claretins to 17th place in the standings, having collected seven points in eight games. Wolves are bottom of the standings with just two points to their name.

Five of the last six head-to-head games have seen one team fail to find the back of the net.
The last five head-to-head games have produced less than three goals.

Wolves vs Burnley Prediction
Wolves have made a disappointing start to the season which has put their eight years in the top flight in jeopardy. Vitor Pereira's side are winless in their opening eight games but may not be too concerned after surviving a similar start last season. However, they have won just one of their last nine EPL head-to-head games and are winless in their last six home league games in this fixture.
Burnley gave their survival hopes a huge boost with their win last weekend. A slow start could be expected as Scott Parker's side have conceded first in all four Premier League away games this season.
Supporting both sides to share the spoils in a low-scoring stalemate.
prediction: Wolves 1-1 Burnley
