Wolves face a trip to Burnley at Turf Moor on Saturday afternoon, hoping to improve upon an average previous return from this fixture. Of the 62 games played, Wolves have recorded 22 wins, and Burnley have come away with 23 victories.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in February 2009, the Clarets carving out a narrow 1 - 0 victory in a Championship match.

Recent respective form guides

Burnley have only collected 1 win and 3 draws from the last six home games played. The Clarets's have scored 7 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 8.

Wolves's away form is none too clever either, accumulating just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While the Wolves have hit 5 goals, 10 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Burnley are stuck down in the relegation zone of Barclays Premier League with a return of just 24 points from their 29 games thus far. Wolves are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 24 points from 28 matches.
