Wolves welcome Burnley to Molineux on Sunday afternoon, and luckily for football fans, BBC Two will be showing live coverage of the Snooker World Championships, so you don’t have to watch it.
Despite the lack of appeal this game has from a Joga Bonito perspective, it does represent an interesting betting proposition, with Wolves looking good value for the victory in this midday kick-off.
This will not have been the season Wolves fans would have hoped for, or even perhaps expected, particularly after last term’s European exploits.
The fact remains though, that Wolves have suffered more than most with injuries this season, the loss of Raul Jimenez, as well as Diogo Jota joining Liverpool at the beginning of the season, has deprived Wolves of the two forward players that have propelled them forward in previous years.
On top of those two huge losses, the impact of Adama Traore has dwindled significantly this season, producing just two assists and one goal in the Premier League, compared to his four goals scored and nine provided last term.
Traore’s dip in form can arguably be attributed to Jimenez’ absence. Last season the pair combined for 10 Premier League goals, the most of any duo, and just the seventh different partnership to reach double figures in a single campaign.
Recently, however, Traore looks to be back to somewhere close to his best, netting a last-minute winner against Fulham before producing a standout performance in his side’s 1-0 victory over Sheffield United last weekend, laying on the winning goal for Willian Jose.
It is difficult to see the Old Gold dishing out a hammering to Burnley here, particularly given Nuno Espirito Santo’s men have averaged exactly one goal per game this season, but a WOLVES WIN looks to be firmly on the cards and is a confident selection at a price of 11/10.
