Wolves vs Bournemouth

Wolves have scored 22 goals and conceded 32 after 13 games in the Premier League this season – the earliest into a top-flight campaign a team has scored more than 20 and conceded more than 30 goals since Watford (P13 GF26 GA32) in 1984-85.

Justin Kluivert became the first player in Premier League history to score a hat-trick of penalties in a single match, with teammate Evanilson also the first to win three penalties in the same match in the competition.

This was the second Premier League game this season to see both sides score inside the opening five minutes, with both matches involving Wolverhampton Wanderers (also v Brentford in October). In fact, Wolves are the first team to ever to both score and concede inside five minutes in more than one game in a Premier League campaign.

Wolves have lost two of their last three Premier League meetings with Bournemouth (W1), having been 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’ve netted at least twice in each of their last four (10 in total), last netting multiple goals in more consecutive top-flight matches between May and August 2011 (5).

Having won four consecutive Premier League away games in November/December last season, Bournemouth have won just three of their last 16 on the road (D4 L9). One of these was against Wolves in April, however.
