Bournemouth have won their last two outings at Molineux, both 1-0, while the last eight encounters between these two sides have produced a miserly 13 goals, that's a goal scored every 55 minutes on average, so don't anticipate a thriller on Saturday afternoon.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Bournemouth Preview
Will Wolverhampton Wanderers claim a third successive Premier League win, something they most-recently achieved in December? Last weekend, Wolves fought back from a goal down to ultimately hammer Fulham 4-1 at Craven Cottage; Matheus Cunha with two absolute stunners in West London, while João Gomes and Gonçalo Guedes were also on target in the rout.
That made it back-to-back victories for Gary O'Neil's team, having also beaten Southampton prior to the international break, ending the Old Gold's winless start to the campaign, So, having yielded just a solitary point from their first eight fixtures, Wolves have collected eight points from the last four outings, thereby sat outside the relegation zone, desperate to remain there, hoping to pull clear of danger with another win here.
Bournemouth meantime are not concerned with the on-going relegation dog-fight, currently 13th, six points better off than their hosts. Following wins over Southampton, Arsenal and Manchester City, the Cherries were seeking a fourth successive home Premier League win for the first time in the club's history, but could not achieve it, defeated 2-1 by Brighton a week ago; David Brooks' stoppage time strike scant consolation. That's now back-to-back defeats for Andoni Iraola's side, who've taken just one point from their last four away games, their sole road victory this campaign that crazy 3-2 comeback at Goodison in August, seeking to leave Molineux with all three points.

Wolverhampton Wanderers Team News
Wolves are very short of centre-backs right now, with Yerson Mosquera, Bastien Meupiyou, Craig Dawson and Santiago Bueno all sidelined, hence why Mario Lemina and Rayan Aït-Nouri featured in a make-shift back three at Fulham. Elsewhere, Boubacar Traoré, Enso González and Saša Kalajdžić are also sidelined, but Hwang Hee-chan did come off the bench at Craven Cottage, his first appearance since 5 October following an ankle injury. Aït-Nouri, Nélson Semedo, Toti and João Gomes would all miss the mid-week trip to Everton if booked.
Wolverhampton Wanderers predicted lineup vs Bournemouth: (3-4-1-2): José Sá; Lemina, Toti Aït-Nouri; Semedo, André, João Gomes, R Gomes; Bellegarde, Strand Larsen; Cunha.
Wolverhampton Wanderers Player to Watch vs Bournemouth
Matheus Cunha's stupendous double last weekend took his tally to seven goals for the season, 35% of all goals Wolves have managed, while the Brazilian was also on target during a 2-1 win at Dean Court last season.
Bournemouth Team News
Ryan Christie can return, having served his one-match suspension against Brighton, but Antoine Semenyo is now banned, having collected his fifth caution of the campaign during that game. Meantime, Lewis Cook, Justin Kluivert and Marcos Senesi are walking the same tightrope. Elsewhere, both Julián Araujo and Alex Scott are sidelined long-term, meaning Adam Smith is likely to keep his place at right-back, although fit-again Max Aarons is also an option. Meanwhile, Tyler Adams will start a third successive Premier League game for the first time since March 2023, having overcome a long-term back issue.
Bournemouth predicted lineup vs Wolverhampton Wanderers: (4-2-3-1): Arrizabalaga; Smith, Zabarnyi, Senesi, Kerkez; Adams, Christie Ouattara, Tavernier, Kluivert; Evanilson.
Bournemouth Player to Watch vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
Goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga has come in for plenty of criticism from Bournemouth supporters recently, with the vast majority believing Mark Travers should be donning the gloves instead, but Andoni Iraola disagrees, likely to stick with his compatriot.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Bournemouth Prediction
We can't seperate these two teams, hence why we're forecasting a draw. As alluded to earlier, this is unlikely to be a goal-fest, so don't tune in anticipating a thriller: Wolverhampton Wanderers 1-1 Bournemouth.
