Wolverhampton Wanderers, Recent FormHaving taken all 3 points, with a crucial 2-1 away win over Southampton in their last league game, Wolverhampton Wanderers will undoubtedly be very satisfied with their work. During that encounter they had 59% possession and had 11 attempts on goal with 1 on target, while their opponents hit 2 of their 17 shots on goal.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 7 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 6, and leading to valuable points being dropped. Consistency in front of goal has been a problem for them at home recently, having failed to score in 3 of their last 6 games. With just 2 clean sheets in the last 6 matches at home, Julen Lopetegui will be worried about the defensive frailties within his team of late.
They're experiencing a very poor spell of form at The Molineux Stadium, having lost 4 of their last 6 home games.
Having scored 3 goals in his last 6 league games for Wolverhampton Wanderers, Daniel Podence will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
Bournemouth, Recent FormGrabbing a valuable league point from their recent 1-1 draw against Newcastle United will have been seen as a reasonably decent result for Bournemouth. They came away from that fixture with a 33% share of the possession and clocked up 11 attempts on goal with 5 on target, in comparison to Newcastle United, who managed 15 attempts on goal, 7 of which were on target.
Having scored just 2 goals in their last 6 games, it will be glaringly obvious to their manager Gary O'Neil where he needs to focus his attentions if they are going to get more points on the table, although he will still have one eye on his defence which have shipped 10 in the same period. Unable to score in 5 of their last 6 away games, they will need to improve in front of goal if they are to pick up more points. Their defensive record does not make good reading so far this season as they have conceded at least 1 goal in 18 of their 22 league games.
Bournemouth will not be enjoying their recent run of poor form on the road. They've lost their last 6 league games in a row away from home and not recorded a win on their travels in 8 games.
With 2 goals scored in his last 6 away games for Bournemouth, Dominic Solanke will be looking to add more goals against Wolverhampton Wanderers in this match.
The last time these two sides met, it wasn't one to remember, finishing without a goal and both sides taking just a point for their efforts.
During the last 2 times these two teams have met in the league, The Cherries have been unable to break through Wolves' defence and find the back of the net. Playing away from home, Bournemouth have conceded a goal in 3 of their last 3 league games against Wolves. Bournemouth have struggled to break down the Wolves defence in their past encounters having only managed to find the back of the net 2 times in their last 5 meetings.
Bournemouth has a poor track record in the league when they visit Wolves, losing in their last 2 games.
Wolves manager Julen Lopetegui has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Hee-chan Hwang (Hamstring), Saša Kalajdžić (Cruciate ligament), Mario Lemina (Knock), Pedro Neto (Ankle) and Boubacar Traoré (Muscle) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Gary O'Neil has a number of injury concerns in his Bournemouth squad to contend with: David Brooks (Hamstring), Lewis Cook (Knee), Ryan Fredericks (Knock), Lloyd Kelly (Knock), Dominic Solanke (Knee), Junior Stanislas (Muscle), Jack Stephens (Knock) and Marcus Tavernier (Hamstring)
