Wolves have to win eventually and at home to Burnley feels like the game it really has to happen for them - their fans will definitely be thinking that.
Burnley will be eyeing victory too, though. They will take great encouragement from their win over Leeds last time out, and they could do Wolves a lot of damage if they beat them.
All things considered, it would be easy to go for a draw, but I am going to back Wolves to break their duck.

Bottom club Wolves host a Burnley team buoyed by their win over Leeds last weekend.
Despite sitting bottom of the Premier League table with just two points after the opening eight games, it is not all doom and gloom for Wolves.
Vitor Pereira's side are without a league win since April, when they defeated Leicester 3-0 in a run of six successive victories. Since then, they have lost to two of the newly promoted sides this season, with the third - Burnley - as their next opponents.
There is increasing pressure on Pereira, with the Portuguese currently the bookmakers' favourite to be the next Premier League manager to be sacked - despite signing a new contract a month ago.
But this situation is nothing new for Wolves. At this stage last season, they had only one point in eight games under Gary O'Neil. They picked up eight more points in as many matches before Pereira was brought in, with Wolves going on to avoid relegation and finish 16th.
Since the start of the Premier League era, 13 teams have picked up two points or fewer in their first eight games of a season. Five of those avoided relegation - including Wolves last season.
The highest finish for one of those teams came in 2008-09, when Tottenham recovered to come eighth.
Pereira has called the Burnley match a "must win" for his side but he has continued to back his players - and himself.
"Honestly, if for one minute I feel my players are not with me, it's finished. For me, that's the end," he said.
"It's painful and I'm worried but I see a team connected mentally with good spirit, with character, trying their best to change the situation."
In the previous two Premier League seasons, all three promoted sides went on to get relegated each time. But there is a different feeling around this season's newcomers, who have the highest combined points tally (29) of any promoted trio in the past 10 seasons.
Sunderland began this round of fixtures in seventh, with Leeds and Burnley earning two wins each.
Burnley may only be 17th with seven points, but Scott Parker's side have faced some heavyweight opposition in Liverpool,Manchester City,Manchester United and Tottenham. They have also beaten both of their fellow promoted sides with 2-0 wins at Turf Moor.
Their record on the road, however, is another matter. Burnley have lost all four of their away matches this season, conceding 13 goals.
Pereira on team news and 'everything changing' with first winpublished at 15:35 BST 24 October

Wolves boss Vitor Pereira has been speaking to the media before Sunday's Premier League game against Burnley (14:00 GMT).
Here are the key lines from his news conference:
On squad availability: "Jean-Ricner Bellegarde is back with us [after illness], Hwang Hee-chan also is and Jorgen Strand Larsen is better, he has improved his level."
Asked about the quality of midfielder Joao Gomes, Pereira said: "He has a lot of qualities but he knows he needs to improve his shooting outside the box, the long passing and tactically he can be better."
Pereira is not concerned about being bottom of the league in October: "It is impossible to be champion in October and to be relegated. Each game is a chance."
On a slow start to last weekend's defeat by Sunderland: "We cannot be a different team in the first half to the second half. Mentally we need to be ready to start games."
Pereira said he is "confident" that after a win "everything will change" as "that is blocking something inside of us".
He added: "I don't have any doubts. If I have the players with me then we will increase our mental and tactical level."

Whether Wolves will get relegated after their poor start to the campaign has been the subject of several questions sent in via our 'Ask about Wolves' form, which you can find here.
We have taken a look into the data to see what the likelihood of Vitor Pereira's side staying up this season is...

On an escalation ladder of troubles at football clubs, the moment when the away fans turn on either the players or the manager is usually a late-stage, Defcon 2-sort of indicator.
Sometimes these stages are run through very quickly. The change of mood at Wolves has not been as drastic as events at Forest, but it is not so many weeks since Vitor Pereira's name was being sung loudly by the same fans. Now, at Sunderland on Saturday, taking that name in vain.
The man himself saw hope in the second half, at least in the first 30 minutes in which his team did create a few chances, although very few of them were on target.
"We missed one chance, two chance, three chance, but with quality, quality, quality," Pereira told me. "But… 15 minutes before the end, we decide to take risks to try to score a goal.
"Unfortunately, we started to put long balls in the box because we had Tolu [Arokodare] and [Jorgen] Larsen and this was misunderstood by our team."
You didn't want them to do that, Vitor?
"Of course not. I want the team to play and create, to assist the strikers but in a proper way. It's not just to put long balls in the box, and, OK, we'll see if in the second ball we can score a goal. This is not our game."
Some time before the end, it became one of those matches that is less about the actual game in progress than a wider commentary on the medium-term fortunes of the two clubs.
Sunderland, a side with limitations but smart enough to work to its strengths, have energy and momentum. Wolves have energy too, but the gears to turn it into useful product now all seem misaligned.
Pereira's account was that of an operator pulling at levers to find, alarmed, that none of them work.
In previous seasons, changing one part of the machine – the manager, a few players in the transfer window, the sporting director – has made things work well enough to get by.
At Sunderland, the feeling took hold that this time a patch-up job will not do, and the sound of that feeling was what the players and coaches heard from the third tier of the stand.
They will hear it louder still if the game against Burnley, now suddenly a fixture to fear, takes the same course.

Atmosphere 'mirrors end of O'Neil's reign'published at 11:58 BST 21 October

Deja vu hangs over Wolves - and you could feel it on Saturday.
The mood, the murmurs, even the songs. Fans drifted through a back catalogue of memories, calling out the names of Conor Coady, Ruben Neves, Joao Moutinho and Raul Jimenez. Then further back to Bakary Sako, Nouha Dicko and Benik Afobe.
It felt warm, but also worrying. This is what happens when belief in the present starts to thin. We reach for the past.
It mirrors the end of Gary O'Neil's reign, almost beat for beat. A bit of early optimism, a few gritty performances, then a slide that felt slow and inevitable.
Last season, the crowd at Everton away sang the same songs, for the same reasons, shortly before the axe fell. Supporters were searching for identity and joy, and they found it in memory rather than on the pitch.
Vitor Pereira's start has flickered with similar tones. A plan that looks tidy on paper, moments that hint at control, but a team still stuck between ideas.
The atmosphere told its own story - not rage or apathy, but longing. Fans were not just singing; they were placing a marker. This is what Wolves can be. This is what Wolves felt like when belief was shared by the players and the supporters.
That is the reflection that matters now. The songs are a love letter and a warning. The fanbase is still here, still loud, still ready to back a team that gives them something real - but they are also telling the club what they miss: leaders, conviction and a clear way forward.
Alan Shearer had just three words to say about Wolves on BBC's Match of the Day and I will finish with those: "Must beat Burnley."
Ronnie: Haway Sunderland! Resolute in defence and able to break forward to threaten. That 'nailed on' relegation doesn't loom as large as it once did. Regis le Bris is a tactician who can also drill a defence into becoming a brick wall. Long may it continue!
David: A solid defensive performance against a poor but unlucky Wolves. We rode our luck too much and it was uncomfortable viewing. We really do need to find out how to finish teams off earlier. But I'm still very happy with the win. Haway the lads!!
Milo: I thought we didn't play our best brand of football today and yet still looked really impressive. We let Wolves look more dangerous than they deserved to but we're not the Sunderland of old and we didn't really even look like conceding. All that's left to say is watch the gap, Newcastle!
Wolves fans
Mark: Lacklustre, clueless and uninspiring. How many times can you try crossing without looking? Long balls to a striker who can't be bothered to jump! Whatever Vitor Pereira looks at on his screen is not the answer!
Richard: A must-win game was a very lame display. It saddens me to say but the Championship seems inevitable. I just can't see any other outcome.
Giorgio: The players are afraid of their own shadows. Same scenario as the end of the Gary O'Neil era. From outside, it's always hard to judge, but I am not sure the squad likes and understand what Pereira wants. Too defensive, no creativity and not enough forward threats. In my opinion, the players could be good enough for a decent season but something is not working. We are in big trouble.
Wolves analysis: Toothless attacking display leaves visitors in danger of being cut adriftpublished at 18:41 BST 18 October

Wolves may have been unfortunate not to take maximum points in their two previous matches against Tottenham and Brighton after conceding late equalisers.
Yet there are few positives they can extract from their trip to Sunderland.
Vitor Pereira's side were second best for long periods, remain the only winless team in the English top flight and now appear in danger of being cut adrift at the bottom of the table.
Despite the season being only eight games old, they are already five points from safety and have the worst goal difference in the division.
The travelling supporters may have expected more against opponents who were still in League One in 2022.
Jorgen Strand Larsen is yet to score a Premier League goal since Wolves rejected bids of £50m and £55m for him from Newcastle in the summer.
The Norway international's 24 touches also represented the lowest number by any visiting player to feature for the full game and was emblematic of an attacking display that lacked inspiration.
And the tactic of repeatedly lofting the ball into the Sunderland area, sending in 31 crosses in total, when the home side were always well set to repel danger was fruitless.
Wolves have now failed to score in four of their eight games with only managerless Nottingham Forest (five) faring worse this term.

Media caption,
Vitor Pereira spoke to BBC Match of the Day after Wolves' defeat against Sunderland: "The first half was technically poor. When I look back at the first half, I don't remember good moments. In the second half we corrected our moments and in my opinion we played 30 minutes of high quality football and created three or four chances to score.
"In the Premier League you cannot lose these moments. But in the end we concede. In the last 15 minutes with two strikers we stopped playing, we started playing the long ball and this is not our game.
"They scored their goals and we missed our chances. You have moments in football. The players want to the change things but we had two or three chances we couldn't miss.
"But this is football and we keep working and we will prepare for the next game. We must win, score goals and not concede goals."
Did you know?
Wolves have failed to win any of their opening eight league games for the second season running – they're just the second side to do so in consecutive Premier League campaigns after Sunderland (2015-16 and 2016-17).

Sutton's predictions: Sunderland v Wolvespublished at 11:07 BST 18 October
11:07 BST 18 October
Firstly, huge apologies to Sunderland fans. After all the stick I got from them for being so negative about them this season, I knew that as soon as I backed them to win a game, the wheels would come off - and that's exactly what happened against Manchester United.
It just shows that they are better off with me writing off their team, so they should probably welcome my prediction for this game.
This week, they are at home to Wolves, who are bottom of the table without a win, but the Black Cats have picked up a few injuries and their squad strength is a little bit of a concern.
United deserved to beat them before the international break - and it's not often you say that about United, is it? But I was impressed by Regis le Bris, because he did not make any excuses afterwards.
Sunderland need to get back on track, but I don't think they will find it straightforward against a Wolves side who have drawn their last two games. There is not going to be a lot in this and even I can't pick a winner.
Sunderland v Wolverhampton Wanderers: Key stats and talking pointspublished at 19:44 BST 17 October
19:44 BST 17 October
Sunderland put their unbeaten home record on the line against a Wolves side who are still searching for a first league win of the season.
BBC Sport takes a look at some of the key themes ahead of their game at the Stadium of Light.
At the start of the campaign it is fair to say most Sunderland fans would have happily taken 11 points from seven games going into October's international break. Their tally is as many as the three promoted sides had managed between them at this stage of last season as Leicester City (six), Ipswich Town (four) and Southampton (one) all got off to a terrible start.
It has been the Black Cats' form at home that has underpinned their impressive return to the top flight. They have secured two wins and a draw at the Stadium of Light with Wilson Isidor scoring in all three matches. Another victory would take them to 10 points from their opening four home matches in a top-flight season, something they have not managed since 1968-69.
Regis le Bris's side sit in ninth position, despite having only scored seven goals in seven games. Their average of 10 shots per match is their lowest in a Premier League campaign since records began in 1999-00.
The same can also be said for Wolves, whose average of 9.4 shots per match is also their lowest in a Premier League season. Vitor Pereira's side are one of two top-flight teams this season, along with Fulham, to have not had a player score more than one league goal so far.
They may sit at the foot of the table, but Wolves have actually improved on their start to last season. However, having two points compared to one is not something to cheer a fanbase who voiced their displeasure at the end of the frustrating draw with Brighton last time out.
Manager Vitor Pereira was sent off on a fractious afternoon at Molineux as their propensity to toss away a lead again cost them dearly. They have now opened the scoring in their past three Premier League games, but have failed to win any of them.
Pereira is also yet to get the best out of a squad that is clearly missing last season's top scorer Matheus Cunha. Chasing an elusive first win of 2025-26 has seen the Portuguese boss make a top-flight high 25 changes to his starting XIs so far.
Only Manchester United with 29 in 2001-02 and Manchester City with 26 in 2012-13 have ever made more by this stage of a Premier League campaign.
