Date: 22/02/2025
Location: Vitality Stadium, Bournemouth.
Kick-Off: 3 pm

Bournemouth have been nothing short of excellent under Andoni Iroala this season, with the former Rayo Vallecano manager proving many doubters wrong in the Premier League with the Cherries. Bournemouth this season are on the cusp of the Champions League places as it stands, with the home side in fifth place in the Premier League and only a point behind Manchester City in the league standings. Iroala’s side have gained 43 points this season, scoring 44 and conceding 29 and will move into the top four should they win and Manchester City drop points to Newcastle United.

Wolves have struggled this season, which has led the hierarchy at Wolves to remove Gary O’neil as manager and appoint Vitor Pereira. The visitors are in 17th place in the Premier League, with only 19 points gained from 25 matches played. Defensively, the visitors have one of the poorest defensive records in the division, with 54 goals conceded.

The game will not be available to watch in the UK.

Bournemouth have managed to overcome their injury crisis with their recent form, with the likes of Enes Unal, Evanilson, Alex Scott, Marcos Senesi and Adam Smith amongst the notable names missing for Andoni Iraola.

Jorgen Strand-Larsen, Yerson Mosquera and Hwang Hee-chan are among the notable names unavailable for the game against Bournemouth.

The recent meetings between the two teams would suggest that Bournemouth will have the psychological advantage heading into this game. The Cherries have won three of the last five meetings between the two teams, which includes the most recent league meeting between the two sides. Bournemouth were the resounding winners in that fixture, with a 4-2 victory at Molineux thanks in large part to a hat-trick by Justin Kluivert. Wolves have failed to keep a clean sheet in the last four meetings between the two teams.

The Cherries are in excellent form with four wins and one loss in their last five games in all competitions, with their only defeat being against league leaders Liverpool. In this run of five matches, Bournemouth have secured wins against Southampton (1-3), Everton (0-2), Nottingham Forest (5-0) and Newcastle United (1-4). Bournemouth have been bolstered by their attacking options this season, with the Cherries scoring first in four of their last five matches in all competitions.

On home soil, Bournemouth have only lost once in their last five league games (Liverpool), with the Cherries winning twice and drawing twice. Andoni Iroala’s side have recorded victories against Nottingham Forest (5-0) and Everton (1-0) - whilst securing draws against Crystal Palace (0-0) and West Ham United (1-1).

The visitors have only won once in their previous five league matches, following their unfortunate 2-1 defeat to Liverpool at Anfield. Wolves’ only victory was a meaningful one, securing a 2-0 win in the Midlands derby against Aston Villa, with goals from Matheus Cunha and Jean-Richer Bellegarde.

Wolves have an abysmal away record in the Premier League, with only one win from their last five on their travels in the league, and that was against fellow strugglers Leicester City.
