Vitality Stadium - Bournemouth, Dorset
Bournemouth have lost back-to-back Premier League home games for the first time since October 2023, a run which also included a defeat to Wolves. Meanwhile, the Cherries have lost consecutive league games without scoring at the Vitality Stadium for the first time since April 2023 under Gary O'Neil.
Wolves are unbeaten in their five Premier League away games against Bournemouth (W3 D2), their most games against an opponent on the road without defeat in the competition.
Matheus Cunha has scored 13 goals in 25 Premier League appearances for Wolves this season, with only Raúl Jiménez netting more across a single campaign in the competition for the Wanderers (17 in 2019-20).
Bournemouth have won three of their last four Premier League games against Wolves (L1), though all three victories have come away from home.
Wolves are unbeaten in all four of their Premier League away games against Bournemouth, alternating between a draw (2) and a victory (2) each time. It’s their most away games against an opponent without ever losing in the competition’s history.
Following their 4-2 victory at Molineux in November, Bournemouth are looking to complete the league double over Wolves for the third time (also 1985-86 in the third tier, and 2014-15 in the Championship).
Bournemouth have lost just one of their last 13 Premier League games (W8 D4), though this was in their last home match against Liverpool (0-2). They’ve not lost consecutive league games at the Vitality Stadium since October 2023, the second game of which was against Wolves.
This is Wolves’ fourth consecutive Premier League away game against a side starting the day in the top six of the table, losing each of the other three. In fact, Wolves have won just one of their last 28 on the road against sides in the top six (D3 L24), beating 4th placed Spurs 2-1 in February 2024.
