Pundit makes Burnley and Wolves comparison in race to avoid last place
A leading pundit still expects Burnley to avoid last place despite Wolves’ recent upturn in form.
Both sides look destined for the drop, sitting nine and 12 points respectively away from safety.
But Rob Edwards’ side, who have been rooted to the bottom of the table for much of the campaign, have moved within three points of the Clarets after winning back-to-back games.
Despite their resurgence, Sky Sports pundit Alan Smith expects the two sides to remain as they are.

"Before this run by Wolves, they were comfortably the worst team,” he told BestBettingSites.co.uk.
"We even wondered if they were going to end up with the worst points tally below Derby all those years ago.
"But Burnley, just looking at recent results, they’ve drawn at Chelsea, scored three against Brentford last time out and beat Crystal Palace away before that, so they are having a go.
"They’re still ahead of Wolves. I think they’ll just finish ahead of them as well, so not quite the worst.”
