Burnley v Wolverhampton Wanderers

Championship, game week 11 — UK time

Step 3 of 4 — Goals, and when they come.

What this step says

Burnley scores heaviest in the 76-90+ spell and concedes heaviest in 76-90+; Wolverhampton Wanderers scores heaviest in 76-90+ and concedes heaviest in 31-45+. The shapes mesh: Wolverhampton Wanderers's strongest scoring spell is exactly where Burnley is softest.

Skip to the appraisal — and the market

Burnley: 48 league matches in the bank, 10 from this season and the rest from last season in the Premier League. Wolverhampton Wanderers: 47 league matches in the bank, 9 from this season and the rest from last season in the Premier League.

The question this step asks

Step three is GOALS, AND WHEN THEY COME. Not just how many each side scores and lets in, but the minute bands they come in, who lands the first blow, what each side does after falling behind, and who finds goals late. A side that concedes early and scores late reads very differently from one that does the opposite, at the same goal difference.

Side by side: Burnley scores most in the 76-90+ band (13 of 53); Burnley concedes most in the 76-90+ band (21 of 94); Wolverhampton Wanderers scores most in the 76-90+ band (11 of 43); Wolverhampton Wanderers concedes most in the 31-45+ band (18 of 82). Who lands the first blow and who lands the last is the question this step exists to ask.
