Wolves Preview: On the up

There is a much better feel about Wolves now with Gary O'Neil's currently on a four-game unbeaten run in the division, with confidence clearly returning to the players after a nightmare run of games to start the season.

In-form Matheus Cunha inspired them to a 1-4 victory at Fulham last weekend - their second straight win - and they head into the weekend outside of the bottom three for the first time this season.

Bournemouth Preview: Stuttering Cherries

Bournemouth suffered a second straight loss last weekend, and just their second at home this season, when Brighton came away from the Vitality Stadium with a 1-2 victory. The last time they lost three in a row was the final three games of the 2023-24 campaign.

The Cherries have been hovering around the mid-table mark for much of the campaign but they have a fairly decent points buffer between themselves and the teams near the relegation zone.

Wolves vs Bournemouth Prediction

Wolves are not an opponent any team will want to face right now, as Gary O'Neil as them purring after a difficult start to the season. It is difficult then, to see Bournemouth containing the likes of Matheus Cunha as they have only kept one clean sheet in 13 games in all competitions this season (which strangely came against Arsenal).

A confident Wolves side will look to burst out of the blocks on home turf and can be backed to open the scoring at Molineux.
