Match preview: Wolves vs Burnley, 9:00 PM, October 26th: The Wolves in the throes of extreme hunger.

VHO - Match preview: Wolves vs Burnley, Premier League Round 9. Facing a direct competitor for survival, the home team cannot afford to make any mistakes.

Wolves vs Burnley form

The nightmare of last season is once again haunting Wolves.

After eight rounds, the team playing at Molineux Stadium is the only team yet to have tasted victory.

With only 2 points in hand, Wolves are languishing at the bottom of the table.

Wolves' current situation is a mirror image of how they were exactly one year ago.

The only difference is that compared to the same time last season, the Wolverhampton team only has 1 point.

But at least, thanks to the timely presence of manager Vitor Pereira on the sidelines, Wolves subsequently escaped relegation and even finished in 16th place, ahead of Tottenham and level on 42 points with Man United.

Currently, with the Portuguese manager still in charge, Wolves are once again proving ineffective.

A month ago, positive signs began to appear when the Molineux team went on a 3-match unbeaten streak, defeating Everton 2-0 in the League Cup and holding tough opponents Tottenham and Brighton in the Premier League.

However, just when their morale and form showed signs of improvement, Pereira's team were dealt a harsh blow. A 0-2 defeat away to newly promoted Sunderland plunged the Wolves into a new crisis of confidence.

The gap to the nearest safe position has reached 5 points. If they do not improve their performance soon and find their first win, Wolves can completely repeat their disappointing performance, just like the way the 3 rookies last season slipped.

The match against direct rivals Burnley is seen as a golden opportunity to test the fighting spirit of Strand Larsen and his teammates in their fight against relegation.

If they leave the pitch empty-handed, the door to a return to the Championship will open a little wider for the Wolves.

The battle at Molineux is of great importance to both teams.

At least the statistics are in Wolves’ favor. In all three of their recent home games against Burnley, the home team have won. More importantly, Burnley’s current away form is also very poor.

After four away games since the start of the season, Scott Parker's team has yet to earn a single point, scoring only four and conceding 13 goals.

However, it's worth emphasizing that Burnley had to travel to impenetrable fortresses: Tottenham, Old Trafford, Etihad, and Villa Park.

In their most recent match, The Clarets showed their determination to avoid relegation with a 2-0 victory over Leeds United. If they leave Molineux without a defeat, Anthony and his teammates can be completely satisfied.
