Comments and predictions for Wolverhampton vs Bournemouth: Home team wins easily

Gary O'Neil will face the man who replaced him on the south coast, when the Wolverhampton Wanderers boss takes charge of his side who host Bournemouth at Molineux in a Premier League clash on Saturday.

The hosts are looking for a third straight win after thrashing Fulham 4-1 in round 12, while Andoni Iraola and his players just suffered a 2-1 defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion despite the opponent having only 10 men.

Latest Wolverhampton vs Bournemouth team information

Wolves beat Fulham 4-1 in West London despite being without 10 players through injury or illness, including long-term absentees Sasa Kalajdzic (knee), Enso Gonzalez (knee), Yerson Mosquera (knee), Boubacar Traore (knee) and Bastien Meupiyou (fitness).

Craig Dawson and Sam Johnstone were both ruled out with illness ahead of the trip to Craven Cottage, while Pablo Sarabia (calf), Santiago Bueno (groin) and Pedro Lima (ankle) are also absent. However, all five players are fighting to be back in time for the weekend.

With this squad, manager Gary O'Neil could face a selection dilemma, but he may only make one change depending on how well his players recover; Dawson's return would see Rayan Ait-Nouri return to the wing-back role and Rodrigo Gomes could make way.

Bournemouth have one change due to suspension, with Ryan Christie returning from a yellow card suspension, but Antoine Semenyo will be absent after picking up five yellow cards.

David Brooks has shown himself ready to replace Semenyo, although the return of Dango Ouattara and Christie could also change things; Christie could come in for Semenyo if coach Andoni Iraola decides to push Justin Kluivert out wide.

Julian Araujo (thigh), Alex Scott (knee) and Luis Sinisterra (hamstring) are the three players absent through injury, but Sinisterra could be back in action early next month.

Bournemouth:

Kepa; Smith, Zabarnyi, Senesi, Kerkez; Adams, Cook; Kluivert, Christie, Tavernier; Evanilson

Latest football commentary Wolverhampton vs Bournemouth

The Bournemouth board may have felt the decision to sack Gary O'Neil - a controversial one at the time - was all the more justified as the current Wolves boss made a poor start to the 2024-25 Premier League season, picking up just one win from his first six games.

However, as in the animal kingdom , Wolves have fought back strongly and are now enjoying a four-match unbeaten run in the Premier League, including recent wins over relegation-threatened Southampton and Fulham.

Alex Iwobi may have opened the scoring for Fulham last weekend, but two goals from Matheus Cunha, Joao Gomes' second of the season and a stoppage-time finish from the forgotten Goncalo Guedes helped Wolves stage a remarkable comeback.

With eight points from a possible 12, Wolves have moved up to 17th in the Premier League, above Ipswich Town on goal difference; with 20 goals scored in 2024-25, they are the second-highest scorers outside the top six.

Scoring has never been a problem for Wolves, who have now scored in 13 consecutive games in all competitions and are looking to score in their 10th successive home game. However, it's no wonder the last team to stop them scoring at Molineux was... Bournemouth.

In fact, both of Wolves' last two home games against Bournemouth ended in 1-0 defeats, but they did win 2-1 on their visit to the Vitality Stadium in October 2023, coincidentally the same scoreline that Iraola's men lost their last home game by.

Joao Pedro opened the scoring inside the first four minutes before setting up Kaoru Mitoma for a second-half winner. Despite Carlos Baleba being sent off for two yellow cards, Bournemouth were unable to mount a comeback and only got a late consolation from David Brooks.

While Wolves are enjoying two consecutive wins, Bournemouth have faced a two-game losing streak against Brighton and Brentford, a poor run of results that has pushed them down to 13th place in the Premier League table.

Like their upcoming opponents Wolves, Bournemouth's attacking commitment remains strong - Brooks' late goal kept their run of five consecutive games scoring alive - but they are on a four-game winless run away from home in the Premier League and have not kept a clean sheet in any away game since their last win at Molineux in April.

It was also a clean sheet for Iraola, continuing a particular trend in matches between Wolves and Bournemouth, with all four Premier League games at Molineux ending in a win for the home side without conceding a goal.
