At Molineux Stadium on 26 October 2025, Wolverhampton Wanderers host Burnley in a Premier League clash between two sides desperate to climb away from the bottom of the table. Wolves remain the only team yet to secure a league win this season, while Burnley arrive looking to build on last week’s comeback success over Leeds.
Goals Likely as Both Sides Search for Vital Points
The selection here is Both Teams to Score – Yes. Wolves’ struggles for results have not stemmed from a lack of intent; their forward play has been improving, and they were unlucky to draw 1:1 with Brighton in their last home fixture. Gary O’Neil’s side create chances but often fail to close out matches, a vulnerability that has cost them several late points. At home, however, they tend to play with greater attacking balance, and the return of key attackers should boost their goal threat.
Burnley’s Open Style Encourages End-to-End Action
Burnley’s away form has been poor - four losses from four - but each of those trips has produced over 2.5 goals. Vincent Kompany’s side play a progressive style that prioritizes possession and forward transitions, which often leaves gaps in defense. They have scored in three of those four away games, showing that their attacking movement can trouble even stronger opponents. Given Wolves’ defensive lapses and Burnley’s offensive bravery, both sides are likely to find the net in a game where neither can afford to settle for containment.
