Wolverhampton Wanderers vs AFC Bournemouth: Premier League preview, team news, stats & head-to-head – BBC Sport

Wolves have lost two of their last three Premier League meetings with Bournemouth (W1), having gone unbeaten in their first five against them (W3 D2).

All four Premier League meetings between Wolves and Bournemouth at Molineux have been won to nil – Wolves won the first two 2-0 and 1-0 respectively, while the Cherries have won 1-0 on their last two visits.

Wolves have won their last two Premier League games, as many as they had in their previous 22 combined (D5 L15). They last won three in a row in December 2023.

Wolves have scored in their last 11 Premier League games, the joint-longest ongoing run of any side in the competition. They have scored at least twice in each of their last four (10 in total) and most recently scored more goals in consecutive top-flight games between May and August 2011 (5).

After winning four consecutive Premier League away games in November/December last season, Bournemouth have won just three of their last 16 away games (D4 L9). However, one of these was against Wolves in April.

All four of Bournemouth’s Premier League wins this season have come against teams that either start the day in the relegation zone (against Everton and Southampton) or in the top four (against Arsenal and Man City).

Wolves’ Premier League fixtures have seen 48 goals so far this season, more than any other team. Their 20 goals scored are their most in 12 games in a top flight since 1972-73 (25), while their 28 conceded is the most at this stage since 1983-84 (31).

No team has scored more goals from substitutes in the Premier League this season than Bournemouth (5). All five of the Cherries’ half goals have been scored by different players, the most different underscorers in the league this term.

Since his Premier League debut in January 2023, Matheus Cunha has both scored more goals (21) and provided more assists (10) than any other Wolves player. In fact, his 31 goal involvements are the second most of any Wolves player in the history of the competition (Raúl Jiménez, 58).

With three goals and two assists, Wolves’ Rayan Aït-Nouri has been involved in more Premier League goals than any other defender so far this term (5).
