Bournemouth vs Wolverhampton Wanderers Prediction and Betting Tips | August 31st 2022
Bournemouth will welcome Wolverhampton Wanderers to the Vitality Stadium in a bottom-of-the-table Premier League fixture on Wednesday.
The home team recorded a win in their first game back into the top flight but have since lost three games in a row. Liverpool inflicted a heavy 9-0 loss on them on Saturday, contributing largely towards Bournemouth having the worst defensive record in the league with 16 goals conceded in four games.
Wolverhampton Wanderers have endured a winless start to their league campaign. Alongside Leicester City and Everton, they remain the only team in the Premier League without a win after four games.
They came close to securing their first win of the season last time around against Newcastle United. Ruben Neves scored a goal in the 38th minute, but Newcastle equalized through Allan Saint-Maximin's spectacular 90th-minute strike.

Bournemouth vs Wolverhampton Wanderers Prediction
The Cherries have a lengthy injury list which has contributed to their poor recent form. One piece of good news is that captain Lloyd Kelly will likely be back in the lineup after missing the game against Liverpool.
20/31 - Wolves’ opener, scored by Rúben Neves and assisted by Gonçalo Guedes, was the 31st goal in Premier League history to be both scored and assisted by Portuguese players, with 20 of those goals being scored by Wolves since January 2019. Diaspora. https://t.co/dL3dxRRGFn
The two sides have never played out a goalless draw and despite their poor goalscoring form, we expect at least one goal to be scored here. As there's not much separating them at the moment, a low-scoring draw might ensue.
