Bournemouth have won three of their last four meetings with Wolves. That said, the Cherries have never beaten Wolverhampton Wanderers in Dorset in the top division in four attempts.
Bournemouth vs Wolverhampton Wanderers Preview
Will Bournemouth continue their charge towards European qualification? Last weekend, the Cherries beat South Coast rivals Southampton 3-1 at St Mary's, with Dango Ouattara, Ryan Christie and Marcus Tavernier all on target.
Given that Southampton is rock bottom of the table, this result did not come as a surprise, but it does mean Andoni Iraola's side has won eight of their last 13 Premier League outings, beaten only by league leaders Liverpool since late November.
This latest victory saw Bournemouth climb up to fifth, a finish that would see them qualify for next season's Champions League. This would be a remarkable achievement, considering they've never featured in Europe before.
The Cherries' record top-flight points tally is 48, achieved last season; well, they already have 45, with 13 games to go, so they will match that already if they're victorious here.
Wolverhampton Wanderers' need for points is desperate, considering they kick off just one place and two points clear of danger. Vítor Pereira's side have now lost all three away matches they've played in 2025.
That said, they did put in an admirable display last Sunday, giving champions-elect Liverpool a real scare. Matheus Cunha's curler, who halved the deficit midway through the second half, set up a nervy finish at Anfield, and, in truth, Wolves were unfortunate not to find an equaliser.
So, the Old Gold remain in trouble, albeit they're certainly showing enough to suggest they'll beat the drop. Wolves will certainly get to know their way to Dorset, considering they also face Bournemouth at Dean Court in the FA Cup fifth round in a week. In this Premier League clash, most make the hosts favourites to pick up three points.

Bournemouth Team News
Marcos Senesi, Julián Araujo, Adam Smith, James Hill, Evanilson and Enes Ünal all remain sidelined, but Julio Soler could make his Premier League debut, having returned from the South American U-20 Championship.
In some much-needed good news, both Alex Scott and Luis Sinisterra came off the bench at Southampton, both appearing for the first time since 19 October due to injuries.
Elsewhere, Marcus Tavernier's goal off the bench at St Mary's could see him start, most-likely to come in for David Brooks, while Dango Ouattara will continue to lead the attack. Lastly, Ryan Christie will miss their next two fixtures, Brighton (A) and Spurs (A), if cautioned.
Bournemouth predicted lineup vs Wolverhampton Wanderers: (4-2-3-1): Arrizabalaga; Cook, Zabarnyi, Huijsen, Kerkez; Adams, Christie, Tavernier, Kluivert, Semenyo; Ouattara.
Bournemouth Player to Watch vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
Justin Kluivert scored a hat-trick of penalties at Molineux, the first player to achieve this unique feat in an top-flight English match since 1957, so can he add to his 12 goals this season?
Wolverhampton Wanderers Team News
Yerson Mosquera, Enso González, Hwang Hee-chan and Saša Kalajdžić are all injured long-term, while Jørgen Strand Larsen has not been seen since the defeat to Arsenal.
Defender Emmanuel Agbadou, who's been excellent since arriving from Reims in January, hobbled off at Anfield on Sunday and, if he's sidelined, that would be a massive blow.
Further forward, Jean-Ricner Bellegarde and January signing Marshall Munetsi were both introduced at halftime against Liverpool, so will either, or perhaps both, come into the lineup here?
Lastly, Nasser Djiga will hope to make his Wolves debut, while Boubacar Traoré could feature for the first time since August due to a meniscus injury, having been an unused substitute last weekend.
Wolverhampton Wanderers predicted lineup vs Bournemouth: (3-4-3): José Sá; Doherto, Toti, Agbadou; Semedo, André, João Gomes, Aït-Nouri; Bellegarde, Munetsi, Cunha.
Wolverhampton Wanderers Player to Watch vs Bournemouth
Matheus Cunha took his tally to 13 for the season at Anfield, while he netted when Wolves most-recently visited Dean Court, prevailing 2-1 in October 2023.
Bournemouth vs Wolverhampton Wanderers Prediction
We cannot see beyond a Bournemouth victory on Saturday, considering the Cherries' excellent form, as well as Wolves' not quite as impressive results: Bournemouth 2-0 Wolverhampton Wanderers.
