H2H: Prediction: Bournemouth vs. Wolves (Premier League

Preview and Teams Comparison.

Wolves have only kept one clean sheet in their 13 previous meetings with Bournemouth in all competitions, though it was in the Premier League last season and a 2-0 win at Molineux.

Bournemouth will be keen to get back to winning ways after recording just one win across their previous six Premier League (PL) matches (W1, D3, L2). They scored over 1.5 goals in just one of those fixtures and have actually drawn a blank in three of their previous five games, highlighting a lack of firepower up front. Bournemouth’s Harry Wilson has scored two goals across his previous three club and international appearances – both strikes came in the first half. The ‘Cherries’ counter that faltering attack by boasting a fairly decent defensive unit that has conceded an average of just 1.25 goals per PL game – only five sides can better that average. Additionally, they have kept a clean sheet in three of their previous four PL fixtures.

Bournemouth have scored 66.67% of their PL goals in the first half. Bournemouth have conceded 26.67% of their PL goals inside the opening 15 minutes. Wolves have scored in each of their previous five PL away matches. Wolves have netted 43.75% of their PL goals after the 75th minute.

Wolverhampton Wanderers should be a tough opponent considering they’ve lost just one of their previous 12 competitive matches (W6, D5, L1 – 90 mins only). Those fixtures have been tight, with nine of those 12 games featuring under 2.5 match goals (90 mins only). Additionally, the margins of victory in that sequence were also small, with four of Wolves’ six wins arriving via just a one-goal margin. Wolves striker Raúl Jiménez has five goals from his previous four club and international appearances – four of those efforts came after the 75th minute. Nuno Espírito Santo’s men have won just one of the previous five H2Hs (W1, D1, L3). Strikingly, all three of those defeats came by way of the same 2-1 scoreline.
