Wolves entertain Bournemouth at Molineux in a mid-table Premier League encounter.
Victory would see Wolves climb up to 10th in the table, whilst Bournemouth likewise will go 10th if they win here.

Stat Attack
- Wolves have lost one of their seven previous Premier League meetings against Bournemouth (W4, D2, L1).
- Bournemouth have won one of their three previous Premier League trips to Wolves (W1, L2).
- None of Wolves’ three previous Premier League games at home to Bournemouth has seen both teams score in the same match.
- Wolves are looking to avoid suffering three consecutive home defeats in the league for the first time since a run of four losses between October – December 2022.
- Dominic Solanke has hit the woodwork on more occasions than any other Bournemouth player this season (3).
Prediction
Despite experiencing a huge injury crisis ahead of the Arsenal game, Wolves did incredibly well to weather the Gunners’ dominance from a defensive perspective with just two goals conceded, whilst their attack evidently was impacted by injuries.
Bournemouth meanwhile will be disappointed with their loss at Villa because they were excellent on the attack but just lacked that end product, whilst pieces of poor defensive marking cost them but they can definitely build on that performance here.
Defeat though would realistically end any chances of European qualification for either team but if Bournemouth can play like they did at Villa, they really should edge this match and continue their unlikely late push.
Prediction: Wolves 0-2 Bournemouth
Result: Wolves 0-1 Bournemouth
