TEAMS PREVIEW

Wolverhampton Wanderers FC Preview

Wolves entered the City clash unbeaten in five across competitions, but few expected them to get much at the Etihad—and they didn’t. 

The Old Gold battled well after the break, yet the two first-half goals left them with too steep a climb. Still, aside from that setback, Wolves can take heart from their recent form and from how tight things were against Bournemouth last time out, losing just 1-0 despite going down to 10 men.  

The Wolves are averaging 0.7 goals per game this season, while allowing 43 goals in 23 matches. At Molineux stadium they won one, drew two and lost eight of the 11 matches played this season during this run they scored 10 and conceded 23 goals. 

Stats that matter 

1. Only once have they managed to win at home in the league this season.
2. The last two matches at home for Wolves have been clean sheets.
3. The Wolves have conceded the lowest number of goals by a team in the league this season (15). 

Team News 

Aside from Toti Gomes’ injury, Rob Edwards has a fully fit squad available with no suspensions to worry about. 

Wolverhampton Probable XI - Sa (GK); Tchatchoua, H Beuno, Santiago Bueno, Krencl, Mosquera, Andre, Joao Gomez, Mane, Hwang, Arias

AFC Bournemouth Preview

Bournemouth stole the headlines on MD23 by stunning Liverpool in a five-goal thriller, finally finding themselves on the right side of late drama as Amine Adli bagged a 90+5’ winner. 

Still, Andoni Iraola won’t overlook the fact they leaked two goals after going 2–0 up—hardly surprising for a side that’s shipped 43 in 23 matches in the league this season. 

On the brighter side, the Cherries arrive strengthened in attack after securing exciting winger Rayan from Vasco da Gama on a five-and-a-half-year deal.

Stats that matter 

1. The Cherries have shipped at least two goals in six of their last seven matches in all competitions.
2. Bournemouth have picked up 73 per cent of their points in the Premier League this season at home (22/30).
3. Both teams have scored in each of Bournemouth’s past nine fixtures across all competitions.

Team News 

Beyond the usual long-term injuries, Bournemouth’s biggest worry is once again the availability of David Brooks. Julio Soler is also doubtful after sitting out the previous game with an injury.

Bournemouth  Probable XI -  Petrovic (GK); Smith, Hill, Senesi, Truffert, Scott, Cook, Kroupi, Adil, Evanilson, Jimenez

WOLVERHAMPTON WANDERERS FC vs AFC BOURNEMOUTH
Winning Prediction

Bournemouth should be buzzing after toppling Liverpool, but that was at home, where they have excelled. Away from the Vitality, it’s a different story, with the Cherries winless in ten on the road. 

Wolves, meanwhile, have hardly made Molineux a fortress, winning just once at home, and Bournemouth actually hold the better head-to-head success in this fixture. 

All told, it feels too tight to call, so a draw looks the sensible play though there will be goals from both sides given how shaky Bournemouth are at the back.  

We predict a draw (2-2)
