Turf Moor will host Tuesday’s football match between Burnley and Wolverhampton. The Clarets are sitting in the penultimate position, four points behind the safe zone, meaning that the midweek fixture is of big importance for the home side. Right-back Lorenz Assignon serves a one-game ban, while both Aaron Ramsey and Luca Koleosho are out of contention with injuries.
Meanwhile, the Wolves failed to spoil Aston Villa’s party at Villa Park at the weekend. As Burnley are desperate to avoid relegation, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on the home side. All Craig Dawson, Pedro Neto, Hee-Chan Hwang, and Jean-Ricner Bellegarde are out of contention with injuries for the away team, which is yet another reason why home win should be considered. Burnley vs Wolves In Hwang’s absence, talented forward Leon Chiwome is widely expected to lead the line for the visitors.

Head to head

Players to watch
Datro Fofana is set to return for Burnley having been ineligible to face his parent club on Saturday. The striker has found the net in his last two matches and is priced at 13/5 to maintain his scoring run.
Wolves will be boosted by the return of Matheus Cunha who had been sidelined with injury. The striker had scored five goals in six matches prior to his injury and could be worth keeping an eye on at 2/1 with 63jili.
Burnley vs Wolves Prediction
Burnley are flying high with a run of three subsequent league games without a defeat. Vincent Kompany and his men still have a mountain to climb to reach the safe zone but the first steps have already been made. The momentum has to be on their side going into this tie. Wolves were toothless in the final third in a 0-2 defeat at Aston Villa on Saturday. It was the third defeat in the last four outings across competitions for Gary O’Neil and his men. O’Neil has huge problems with injured players. He had to hand teenager Leon Chiwome his first league start on Saturday at Villa Park. Pedro Neto and Hwang Hee-Chan are still sidelined while Mattheus Cunha was not in the roster on Saturday despite O’Neil’s claims about his availability in press conferences. We will back Burnley to win here at the 2.80 odds.
To get a result here, Burnley will need to find a way to keep things quiet at the back. They boast the second-worst defensive record in the Premier League. However, the weekend’s performance at Stamford Bridge will represent a huge confidence-boost for Kompany’s men. Wolves lack proper attacking options due to injuries. Finally, three of the previous four head-to-head games between these counterparts ended with fewer than two goals scored. The value is great with the Under 2.5 goals bet at the 2.10 odds.
