Burnley-Wolverhampton is a match valid for the thirty-first day of the Premier League and is played Tuesday at 8:45 p.m.: live TV, streaming, likely lineups, predictions.
Vincent Kompany’s Burnley continues to show signs of life, fresh off three consecutive useful results: it has never been so continuous in the season. Two away draws, both against London teams (West Ham and Chelsea) and a win, the first in over two months, against Brentford.
There is no intention to give up, then, the team led by the Belgian coach, which is in danger of being relegated immediately to the cadet division after last year’s sensational ride, when it achieved arithmetic promotion with more than a month in advance. The goal of salvation, after all, is still possible: Burnley, with the 5 points won in the last three days, has moved to -4 from fourth-last-place Nottingham Forest, which has plummeted after the penalty. Ergo, at stake are also the Clarets, who, moreover, from now until May will not have an impossible schedule, encountering few biggies on their way. It instills confidence (and courage), ahead of the very important challenge with Wolverhampton, that they snatched a point last Saturday at home to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. Burnley in London never gave up, managing to equalize twice despite being numerically inferior due to Assignon’s expulsion (2-2).
It was not a peaceful Easter instead for Wolves, defeated 2-0 by “neighbors” Aston Villa. It was the third knockout in the last four games for the Black and Gold, who were also defeated by Championship club Coventry in the FA Cup quarterfinals. Worrying slump for the team coached by Gary O’Neil, on paper still in the fight for Europe: seventh place, in fact, remains just four lengths away.
The prediction
You can give confidence to a Burnley that has appeared on the rise in recent days and is willing to give everything to bring home salvation. Wolverhampton, in fact, may not have the same “hunger” as the Clarets, last Saturday able to retake Chelsea twice despite being a man down.
