Wolverhampton vs AFC Bournemouth Predictions

• Wolves have won just one of their last seven in the Premier League.
• Bournemouth have lost three of their last five on the road.
• Wolves edged to a 2-1 victory at the Vitality Stadium in the reverse fixture.

Cherries can avenge reverse defeat at Molineux

Both Wolves and Bournemouth are safe from relegation, so it may be no surprise that the form of the two club’s have taken a downward turn in recent weeks.

Gary O’Neil’s men have lost four of their last six in all competitions as well as each of their last three at their Molineux home – including a 3-2 defeat to Championship outfit Coventry in the FA Cup.

Their defensive porosity – conceding at least two goals in seven of their last eight across league and cup matches – has not being helped by the club’s current injury crisis in forward areas, with key attackers Pedro Neto, Jean-Ricner Bellegarde and Matheus Cunha all out through respective hamstring, knee and calf problems.

The Cherries meanwhile are winless in three league matches and have tasted defeat in each of their last two on the road – a 2-1 loss at relegation-threatened Luton as well as a comfortable 3-1 defeat to Champions League hopefuls Aston Villa.

However, their form before this recent stutter saw Andoni Iraola’s side win four out of five, with each of these victories coming against fellow bottom half sides and so the visitors may be favourites to come out on top at Molineux.

Super Solanke can score again

With the hosts struggling for momentum in the dying embers of the season, Bournemouth should feel that they can avenge their defeat at the Vitality back in October with victory.

The Cherries have an abundance of attacking talent that could hurt Wolves, with the likes of Marcus Tavernier and Justin Kluivert getting amongst the goals in recent weeks.

However, dangerman Dominic Solanke will undoubtedly be the primary goal threat when these two sides meet on Wednesday. The 26 year old has four goals across his last six appearances for Bournemouth while the English striker has also netted 18 times in the league this season as he looks to secure his place on the plane for his country at this summer’s European Championship.

Solanke should be able to get on the scoresheet in what could be a low-scoring affair. After losing their last home fixture 2-0 to Arsenal, Wolves could suffer a similar fate against a side boasting one of the deadliest forwards in the division and another 2-0 loss is therefore our prediction.
