Burnley vs Wolverhampton Wanderers: Team News and Expert Analysis
The club from "Turf Moor" simply repeated in 2024–2026 what happened in the previous two seasons. As with Kompany, under Parker, after being relegated to the Championship, they dominated there. But in the Premier League, they again spent the whole campaign in the relegation zone. As a result, by May relegation was confirmed and Scott resigned. Even without him, they finished with a 2-2 draw against Aston Villa. They also lost narrowly to Arsenal.
The team from "Molineux" already had a poor last season. But then Vítor Pereira arrived and even lifted them to sixteenth place with 42 points. However, after the summer break, nothing really worked out for him or Rob Edwards. Only in 2026 did they manage a couple of upsets, but still suffered a very early relegation with terrible statistics. Although they finished last round with a 1-1 draw against Fulham.
The Premier League newcomer scored a fair amount, averaging a goal per game, but conceded twice as many – 2.0. The other relegation struggler's ratio is even worse: 0.7 goals scored and 1.81 conceded per game.
