Team Analysis
Wolves have had a challenging start to the season, struggling to find form under new coach Gary O'Neill. They have suffered significant defeats, including a notable loss to Chelsea, which highlighted defensive vulnerabilities. With a 2:8 overall score from their recent matches, Wolves need to tighten their defense and find a way to improve their performance on the pitch.

Burnley, under new management following Vincent Kompany's departure, has had a promising start to their Championship campaign with Scott Parker at the helm. Despite a setback against Sunderland, they have shown offensive prowess, scoring nine goals in their first two matches. Burnley appears well-prepared and capable of challenging Wolves, especially given their current form.

Head-to-Head
In their past five meetings, Burnley has had the upper hand against Wolves, winning two matches. The encounters have typically been closely contested, with both teams showing the ability to score.

Prediction
Given the current form of both teams, Burnley is expected to have the edge. Wolves' defensive issues could be exploited by Burnley's attacking capabilities. A high-scoring game is anticipated, with a prediction of over 2.5 total goals. Burnley is favored to win, potentially with a scoreline of 3-1, and a less risky option could be Burnley winning with a handicap of +1.5.

Pick: Burnley +1.5
