Latest team news for Bournemouth vs Wolverhampton
Bournemouth still faces personnel problems as their injury list continues to grow, including Evanilson (foot), Enes Unal (torn anterior cruciate ligament), James Hill, Marcos Senesi, Julian Araujo (hamstring), and Adam Smith (muscle). A rare bright spot is Julio Soler, who is expected to rejoin the squad after his success with Argentina U20 at the South American U20 Championship.
Good news for manager Iraola is the return of Alex Scott and Luis Sinisterra from the previous game, and Alex Scott could certainly be considered for a starting position in midfield. However, the duo of Tyler Adams and Ryan Christie are likely to remain in charge of the midfield.
Dango Ouattara's impressive form is bringing hope to Bournemouth's attack. The Burkina Faso striker has directly contributed to nine goals in his last 11 games (six goals, three assists), equaling his previous tally from 60 matches. He is expected to continue to be a key player in "The Cherries'" attack.
On the other side of the pitch, Wolves are also plagued by injuries. Enso Gonzalez, Yerson Mosquera, Leon Chiwome, and Sasa Kalajdzic remain sidelined due to knee problems. New signing Emmanuel Agbadou is at risk of missing another game after suffering a hamstring injury in the match against Liverpool.
The availability of Sam Johnstone, Rodrigo Gomes (both unseen), and Hwang Hee-Chan (hamstring) will be assessed before the match, after all three missed the defeat at Anfield. However, Jorgen Strand Larsen has returned to training and may be fit enough to be included in the squad.
Notably, new signing Marshall Munetsi was surprisingly deployed as a striker when he came on as a substitute in the match against Liverpool. The question is whether manager Pereira will continue to experiment with Munetsi in the top attacking position, or whether he will revert to the familiar attacking trio of Goncalo Guedes, Pablo Sarabia, and star player Matheus Cunha – who has scored in all three recent matches.

Latest football match prediction: Bournemouth vs Wolverhampton
Bournemouth have become one of the most exciting stories of the season. Under the leadership of Andoni Iraola, they have displayed incredible form in recent months, with only one defeat in 15 matches across all competitions (10 wins, 4 draws).
"The Cherries" demonstrated their superiority with three wins in their last four Premier League matches, and extended their unbeaten away run to eight games (six wins, two draws) with an impressive 3-1 victory over Southampton, who are currently at the bottom of the table. Goals from Dango Ouattara, Ryan Christie, and Marcus Tavernier contributed to this win.
Thanks to the unexpected dips in form of Chelsea and Newcastle United, Iraola's team has seized the opportunity, climbing to fifth place in the league table. They are currently just one point behind Manchester City (fourth) and four points behind Nottingham Forest (third). They are also very close to their own record for the highest number of points in a Premier League season (48 points), needing only five more points with 13 games remaining. Another win would equal their previous season's record.
This weekend's match will see Bournemouth return to their Vitality Stadium, where they suffered a 0-2 defeat to league leaders Liverpool in their last game. However, the home side haven't experienced a run of consecutive home defeats since last October. Ironically, their second loss in that run was a 1-2 defeat against Wolves.
Nevertheless, there are plenty of reasons to believe in their ability to secure all three points at home this Saturday, as Bournemouth have earned 20 points in their last 10 Premier League matches. Furthermore, they have beaten Wolves in three of their last four encounters, although all three wins came away from home.
For Wolves, the situation doesn't look very promising. They have suffered five defeats in their last six Premier League matches. However, manager Vitor Pereira can still learn some lessons and find positive aspects from his players' performances in the last two games against Aston Villa and Liverpool.
Following their 2-0 home win against Aston Villa, Wolves showed resilience and only succumbed to a narrow 1-2 defeat against Liverpool. Manager Pereira praised his players' effort and fighting spirit, especially in the second half when they shut down the opposition's attack and prevented Liverpool from registering a single shot on target – something unprecedented at Anfield since detailed statistics began to be recorded (the 2003-04 season).
But the most important thing for Wolves right now is still accumulating points to secure their survival in the league. Currently, they are only two points above the relegation zone and are 17th in the table, after Ipswich Town earned a point in their last match and narrowed the gap.
However, it's worth noting that Wolves often perform very well when traveling to Bournemouth's Vitality Stadium. In fact, in their last four visits there in the Premier League, they have remained undefeated (two wins, two draws), an impressive record against this opponent.
However, the upcoming match will be a major challenge, as Wolves will face a top-six team for the fourth consecutive time in the Premier League, having lost all three previous encounters. In fact, Wolves have only managed one win in their last 28 away games against top-six teams (3 draws, 24 losses), with their only victory coming against Tottenham (currently 4th) with a 2-1 win in February 2024.
