Comments and predictions for Bournemouth vs Wolverhampton: Guests forget the way home

Latest Bournemouth vs Wolverhampton team information

Bournemouth still face a personnel problem with a long injury list, including Evanilson (foot), Enes Unal (cruciate ligament rupture), James Hill, Marcos Senesi, Julian Araujo (hamstring), and Adam Smith (muscle). The rare bright spot is that Julio Soler is expected to return to the squad after his success with Argentina U20s at the South American U20 Championship.

The good news for coach Iraola is the return of Alex Scott and Luis Sinisterra from the previous match, and Alex Scott can definitely be considered for the official position in midfield. However, the duo of Tyler Adams and Ryan Christie are likely to be trusted to continue to guard the midfield.

Dango Ouattara's form is giving Bournemouth's attack hope. The Burkina Faso striker has been directly involved in nine goals in his last 11 games (six goals, three assists), equalling his previous tally of 60. He is expected to continue to be the spearhead of the Cherries' attack.

On the other side of the front line, Wolves are also not immune to the injury storm. Enso Gonzalez, Yerson Mosquera, Leon Chiwome and Sasa Kalajdzic are still sidelined with knee problems. New signing Emmanuel Agbadou is at risk of being out after suffering a hamstring injury against Liverpool.

Sam Johnstone, Rodrigo Gomes (all doubtful) and Hwang Hee-Chan (hamstring) will be assessed ahead of the game, after all three missed the defeat at Anfield. However, Jorgen Strand Larsen has returned to training and could be fit enough to make the squad.

Notably, new signing Marshall Munetsi was surprisingly deployed as a striker when he came off the bench against Liverpool. The question is whether coach Pereira will continue to experiment with Munetsi at the top of the attack, or will he return to the familiar attacking trio of Goncalo Guedes, Pablo Sarabia, and star Matheus Cunha - who has scored in all three recent matches.

Latest football commentary Bournemouth vs Wolverhampton

Bournemouth have been one of the most exciting stories of the season. Under Andoni Iraola, they have been in incredible form in recent months, with just one defeat in 15 games in all competitions (W10 D4).

The Cherries have made it three wins from their last four Premier League games, and extended their unbeaten run away from home to eight games (W6 D2) after an impressive 3-1 win over Southampton, who are currently bottom of the table. Goals from Dango Ouattara, Ryan Christie, and Marcus Tavernier helped secure the win.

Iraola's side have taken advantage of the unexpected slumps of Chelsea and Newcastle United to climb up to fifth in the table. They are now just one point behind Manchester City (fourth) and four behind Nottingham Forest (third). They are also closing in on their record for the most points in a Premier League season (48), with just five points to go with 13 games to go. Another win would see them equal last season's tally.

This weekend’s game sees Bournemouth return to the Vitality Stadium, where they suffered a 2-0 defeat to league leaders Liverpool in their last game. However, the hosts have not suffered consecutive home defeats since October last year. Ironically, the second of that run came in a 2-1 defeat to Wolves.

There are plenty of reasons to believe that Bournemouth can take all three points at home on Saturday, though, as they have picked up 20 points from their last 10 Premier League games, and have beaten Wolves in three of their last four meetings, although all three of those wins have come away from home.

As for Wolves, things are not looking good. They have suffered five defeats in their last six Premier League games. However, coach Vitor Pereira can still draw some lessons and positive points from his players' performances in the last two matches against Aston Villa and Liverpool.

After a 2-0 home win over Aston Villa, Wolves showed resilience and only succumbed to a narrow 1-2 draw against Liverpool. Coach Pereira highly appreciated the efforts and fighting spirit of his players, especially in the second half when they locked down the opponent's attack and did not allow Liverpool to have any shots on target, something that has not happened at Anfield since detailed statistics were recorded (2003-04 season).

But the most important thing for Wolves at the moment is still to accumulate points to ensure their place in the league. Currently, they are only 2 points above the relegation zone and are ranked 17th in the rankings, after Ipswich Town won a point in the last match and narrowed the gap.

However, it is worth noting that Wolves often play very well when traveling to Bournemouth's Vitality Stadium. In fact, in the last 4 times they visited this stadium in the Premier League, they did not have to accept defeat (won 2, drew 2), an impressive record against this opponent.

However, this will be a tough test, as Wolves face a top-six side for the fourth time in a row in the Premier League, having lost all three of their previous games. In fact, Wolves have won just one of their last 28 away games against top-six sides (D3 L24), with their only win coming against Tottenham (currently in fourth) in a 2-1 win in February 2024.
