The reason why we decided to do a Burnley vs Wolves preview is that FatCatBet believes that this is going to be one super-exciting clash. There are several reasons for that, starting with the fact that Burnley is famously great at the back, while Wolves love playing attacking soccer.

Therefore, Burnley vs Wolves is going to be a clash between two soccer styles. Even more importantly, both teams are flying really high, with a chance to make their European dreams come alive.

With the news about Manchester City staying in the Champions League next season being revealed today, the race for the top 4 is going to be incredibly exciting. If Man City were expelled from the continental competitions, the team from the 5th place in the Prem would get a ticket to the Champions League. This way, only the top 4 will get to the most prestigious club competition in the soccer universe.

  • When: Wednesday July, 15
  • Where: Turf Moor in Burnley (no fans in the stands)
  • Previous Meeting: 1-1 (August 25, 2019)

Burnley vs Wolves Preview

Burnley is currently in the 10th place in the Premier League with 50 points. That’s far from being a bad achievement, but this team has a chance to go even higher up. Sheffield United, the team that’s in the 7th place (a place that leads to the Europa League qualification) has only 4 points more.

What’s really fascinating is that Burnley has been in a terrific form, especially at the back. This team is without a defeat in the previous 5 games, allowing only two goals along the way. In the previous round, they played 1-1 with the incumbent champion Liverpool. The Reds’ manager Jurgen Klopp said that the reason why Burnley snatched a point was the brilliant performance of the goalkeeper Nick Pope.

In that game, Liverpool had a 71% possession, together with 23 goal attempts. Still, thanks to Pope, Burnley managed to get a draw. The question is whether he can do the same thing two times in a row?

Knowing that Wolves love playing possession soccer, the game will probably follow the same pattern. Same as Liverpool, Wolves are going to be the team that attacks. However, unlike Liverpool, Wolves still haven’t finished their job for this season. This team is in the 6th place, but there’s still a chance they could get to top 4.

FatCatBet Prediction

With a win on Wednesday, Wolves would be able to challenge the Premier League, which is not even more difficult to get to as Manchester City’s ban appeal was accepted.

As a result, the only way for Wolverhampton to get to the Champions League would be to finish among the top 4. For that reason, a win over Burnley is a must.

Of course, as mentioned earlier in our Burnley vs Wolves preview, scoring against Nick Pope is not going to be easy. This is why we expect a low number of goals.

As you’ve probably already figured out from this Burnley vs Wolves review, we believe that this is going to be a very tense game, as both teams want points. Burnley is going to defend fiercely, which, in turn, is going to make Wolverhampton players nervous.

For these reasons, we are probably going to see the ref being very busy. Mike Dean is very likely to give at least 5-6 yellow cards to the players, which is what our prop bet suggestion is.

Burnley vs Wolves prop bet idea:

  • Total cards over 4.5 (+215)
