Burnley vs. Wolves: Head-to-head record and past meetings

Head-to-head record

Previous meetings: 142

Draws: 32

Burnley wins: 42

Fixtures between Wolverhampton Wanderers and Burnley boast an extensive history, and going back 137 years to their first meeting in 1888, the clubs have locked horns on 142 separate occasions.

The Old Gold have come out on top in 68 of those clashes - earning them bragging rights with a win percentage just shy of 48% - while the Clarets have triumphed 42 times (30%), and the sides have shared the spoils from 32 of their showdowns.

This fixture was a regular on the football calendar for the five years prior to Burnley's relegation to the Championship in 2024, but they were reunited in October 2025, when Scott Parker's Clarets snatched all three points in a dramatic 3-2 victory over a then-winless Wolves at Molineux.

On that day, Burnley raced into a two-goal lead courtesy of a brace from Zian Flemming, with both efforts - the striker's first in the division - being assisted by fellow Dutchman Quilindschy Hartman.

However, Vitor Pereira's side clawed the game back to 2-2 by half time, and continued to apply pressure in the second half, striking the crossbar through Jhon Arias and forcing saves from Martin Dubravka.

Unfortunately for the 20th-placed Old Gold, Burnley's Lyle Foster was the one that eventually broke the deadlock, running onto a Hannibal Mejbri through ball before guiding home a last-gasp winner in stoppage time.

Most recently, Burnley welcomed Wolves to Turf Moor on the final day of the 2025-26 campaign, and though the hosts' Flemming canceled out Adam Armstrong's fifth-minute opener to secure a point in a 1-1 draw, the result made no difference to either teams' fate given that both clubs were already condemned to relegation and a bottom-two finish.

Wolves have only managed two wins across their last 12 games against Burnley, with only one of those coming in the Premier League, while the Clarets have registered four successes in that sequence.

However, fans of the Old Gold will feel that they have the upper hand in the head-to-head record overall, especially with a 2-0 Sherpa Van Trophy final win in 1988, which some supporters may remember.
