Bournemouth vs Wolves tips and predictions: Cherries forced to wait for maiden Premier League win

I think this game will be a draw. If you’re looking at Bournemouth in first halves, no team has conceded more first half goals than Bournemouth in the Premier League this season.

I think Wolves will have a bright, energetic start and they’ll take the lead but I think Bournemouth will equalise in the second half. I’m going for a 1-1 draw.

Team news

Bournemouth are not only out of form but they’re also contending with a lengthy injury list.

The Cherries will be without Tyler Adams, Ryan Fredericks, Lloyd Kelly, Emiliano Marcondes and Alex Scott.

Wolves, on the other hand, may have a fully fit squad at their disposal. The only injury worry is Hugo Bueno who is struggling with his thigh.

Key stats

- Wolves have won just one of their last six visits to Bournemouth

- Bournemouth are yet to win in the Premier League this season

- Wolves have picked up just one win from 12 away league games

- No side have conceded more first-half goals in the Premier League than Bournemouth (9)

Other bets suggested by Planet Sport

Of all the fixtures taking place this weekend, this is unlikely to be on many people’s radars.

Let’s face it, the last three encounters have produced a measly two goals, while Bournemouth enter the weekend having lost their last two matches to nil.

The Cherries were battered 3-0 and 4-0 by Everton and Arsenal as manager Andoni Iraola was left to ponder his team’s woeful situation of the international break.

Wolves is the type of fixture that Bournemouth will be targeting at least a point from as they look to enhance their survival hopes.

Problem is, Wolves are more unpredictable than the British weather, coming up with a 1-1 draw against Luton Town one week and beating treble-winners Manchester City seven days later.

If Gary O’Neil’s men turn up at their best, the Cherries could be in serious trouble. Then again, their woeful away form suggests that may not be the case.

Wolves have won just one of their last 12 away Premier League games – hardly a stat we can get behind.

With that in mind, our recommendation is to back a stalemate. Both teams to score and under 2.5 goals is the way to go.
