Comments and predictions for Bournemouth vs Wolverhampton: Home team makes a comeback
The match between Bournemouth vs Wolverhampton in the Premier League takes place at 9:00 p.m. on August 23. Let's analyze the performance, make football comments and predict the score.
Latest Bournemouth vs Wolverhampton team information
Although Liverpool had 4 players score against Bournemouth, Bournemouth also recruited another attacking talent from Anfield, Ben Doak, for 25 million pounds. He is eligible to debut this weekend.
The hosts also announced the signing of Amine Adli from Bayer Leverkusen, and the Moroccan could be available for the match. However, Justin Kluivert (calf) and Ryan Christie (groin) remain doubts, while Enes Unal and Lewis Cook (both knee) are definite absentees.
Doak is likely to struggle to compete for a starting spot with David Brooks, who provided an excellent assist for Semenyo's first goal at Anfield. Semenyo is also on the verge of becoming only the second African player in Premier League history to score a brace in three consecutive games, after Papiss Cisse (Newcastle, 2012).
As for Wolves, they have just strengthened their defense with the signature of Jackson Tchatchoua - the fastest player in Serie A in the 2024-25 season with a maximum speed of 36.3 km/h. This new player promises to compete directly with Ki-Jana Hoever for the position. Coach Vitor Pereira will only be missing Leon Chiwone (cruciate ligament injury) in this away trip.
Latest predicted lineup for Bournemouth vs Wolverhampton
Bournemouth:
Petrovic; Smith, Diakite, Senesi, Truffert; Adams, Scott; Semenyo, Tavernier, Brooks; Evanilson
Wolverhampton Wanderers:
Sa; Doherty, Toti, Agbadou; Tchatchoua, Gomes, Andre, Wolfe; Lopez, Munetsi; Larsen
Latest football commentary on Bournemouth vs Wolverhampton
After Bournemouth winger Antoine Semenyo reported racist abuse to referee Anthony Taylor, the match between Bournemouth and Liverpool at Anfield immediately lost its sporting significance; a 47-year-old man was arrested and later released on bail in connection with the incident.
Despite having to endure something no player – or human being – should have to endure, the Ghanaian shone as he spearheaded Bournemouth’s counter-attack against a porous Liverpool defence with a brace in the second half. However, his efforts to bring his team back from two goals down ultimately proved futile.
It took until the 88th minute for the defending champions to break down Bournemouth's resilient defence, but coach Andoni Iraola still had many positive things to note, especially the team's ability to counter-attack with speed and danger.
However, returning to the Vitality Stadium is not necessarily an advantage, with Bournemouth winning just two of their last eight home games of the 2024-25 season, losing five and drawing one against Manchester United. However, their opening home season performance is still cause for optimism: they are unbeaten in their first home game in five Premier League seasons, having lost three in a row between 2015 and 2017.
While Bournemouth almost made a spectacular comeback from 0-2 down at the champions' home ground, Wolves were completely helpless when they were also 0-2 down but at home to the former champions. Man City poured in a rain of goals with a score of 4-0, in which Erling Haaland scored as usual in the opening round, while new signing Tijjani Reijnders and Rayan Cherki also scored on their debuts.
Despite the heavy scoreline, Wolves' performance was not a complete disaster. They did have a few opportunities to force Man City goalkeeper James Trafford to work, but were ultimately swept away by a sharp and well-balanced attack.
The defeat also added to Wolves' woes: they have won just one of their 22 Premier League games in August. With a win rate of 14% this month, they have the worst record in Premier League history for clubs who have played at least 30 games in August.
However, trips to the South of England have been a “good omen” for Wolves, as they are unbeaten in their last five trips to Vitality to face Bournemouth. This is also the only opponent Wolves have never lost to away from home among the teams they have met more than five times in the Premier League.
