Bournemouth vs Wolves Prediction & Betting Tips - Premier League

Prediction published on 19/10/2023, 04:29  by Daniel Ngulu in Premier League Predictions

Bournemouth will resume their quest for a first league win of the season when they host Wolverhampton Wanderers this Saturday. Heading into this game, Bournemouth are 19th in the league standings, five places below Wolves. The international week was a welcome break for Bournemouth and they will hope to return rejuvenated. In their last outing before the break, they suffered a 3-0 loss at the hands of Everton. That loss made it two straight defeats and in the process they conceded seven goals. Their only win in the run of six matches was against Stoke City in the League Cup. Otherwise they have three straight defeats in their league outings, scoring once and conceding 10 times. Three times in the last four league matches, Bournemouth failed to score. They come into this match as the lowest scorers so far, having netted five times in eight league games. Defensively, they aren’t strong either; in their eight league games, they conceded 18 goals. That run in defence makes them the third poorest defensively.

Ahead of the international break, Wolverhampton Wanderers failed to build on the momentum from their win over Manchester City. Their 1-1 draw with Aston Villa was however a third straight league match without defeat. The visitors have maintained some consistency in attack, scoring in each of the last seven league matches. They’ve however managed just two wins and one clean sheet in the seven league games. Both sides scored in their last five league matches. Hwang Hee-Chan has been instrumental in their attack, scoring four times in five matches. He already has five league goals this season. While Wolves harness Hee-Chan’s qualities, they must improve on their discipline. In two of their last three league matches they had two players sent off. Jeanricner Bellegarde has finished his three-game suspension but Mario Lemina is suspended for this.
