Burnley - Wolverhampton Wanderers team news and expert analysis
The club from Turf Moor remains an "elevator" team: after earning promotion to the Premier League once again, they were relegated after just one season. Now they have already endured a disastrous start at Championship level — they have been unable to win either in the league or in the League Cup. Their only victory came against Watford, and it was a resounding 4-0! However, they could only draw 2-2 with Charlton.
The team from Molineux also endured a disastrous Premier League campaign last season. However, they look fairly solid at the lower level. That said, they lost to their third opponent in the League Cup, Everton. They also suffered defeat against Bolton in the previous round.
The current Championship outsiders score an average of 1.5 goals per match while conceding significantly more — 1.9. The other side, whose players were also competing in the Premier League as recently as this spring, look much stronger: 1.78 goals scored and 1.56 conceded per game.
