England Premier League
Sunday 25th August 2019
Kick off at 4.30pm BST
Venue: Molineux Stadium
Match Preview:
It’s been a demanding week for Wolves and there will be no let up this week either as the reality of European football combined with a league season hits home. On Thursday they beat Torino away 3-2 in the Europa League Qualifiers, but at one point they were winning 3-1 and the match is really open for the 2nd leg which will take place 4 days after this game, and this will definitely be playing on their minds.
Their last league game ended with a respectable 1-1 draw against Manchester United, although Paul Pogba’s penalty miss could have condemned them to defeat. Instead Wolves find themselves in the relegation zone and yet they are undefeated, however a win today could put them into the top 5 depending on other results.
The one worry for the home side was their lack of goals, just 1 goal in the 2 league games they have played but grabbing 3 in Italy in midweek could well reignite the players desires, and on paper at least there is 3 points on the table.
Burnley opened their Premier League campaign in style with a 3-0 win over Southampton. Their next game was away to Arsenal and they were expected to lose, which they did, but the game was much closer than many could have predicted ending 2-1 to the Gunners, and Burnley had their chances.
This certainly looks a far more capable Burnley side than the side which struggled at the start of last season as a result of trying to combine European and domestic League football. Burnley are fully focused on the league this time round and they look all the better for it.
