Bournemouth have won just one of their six Premier League games against Wolves (D2 L3), though it was their most recent meeting at Molineux in February (1-0).

Wolves have won just one of their six away league games against Bournemouth (D3 L2), though are unbeaten at the Vitality Stadium in the Premier League (W1 D2).

Bournemouth are one of two teams (along with Sheffield United) yet to win in the Premier League this season (D3 L5). It’s their joint-longest winless run at the start of a Football League/Premier League season, along with eight games in the third tier in 1994-95.

After a run of six defeats in eight Premier League games (W1 D1), Wolves are now unbeaten in their last three (W1 D2). However, they’ve won just one of their last 12 away league games (D3 L8), beating Everton 1-0 in August.

No side have conceded more first-half goals in the Premier League this season than Bournemouth (9). However, just 13 per cent of the 23 goals in Wolves’ league games in 2023-24 have come in the opening 45 minutes (3 – F2 A1), the lowest ratio of all top-flight sides so far this term.

Bournemouth have scored the fewest goals (5) and have the lowest shot conversion rate (5.3 per cent) of any Premier League side this season. Indeed, the Cherries have scored as many goals in two League Cup games as they have in eight Premier League matches this term.

Wolves boss Gary O’Neil’s first ever Premier League game in charge was in this exact fixture, but as Bournemouth manager in a 0-0 draw last season.

PLAYER STATS

Dominic Solanke has been involved in four of Bournemouth’s five Premier League goals this season (3 goals, 1 assist), the highest ratio of any player in the division this term (80 per cent).

Wolves’ Hwang Hee-chan has scored five goals this season, already his joint-most in a single Premier League campaign (also 5 in 2021-22). The Korean is looking to score in three consecutive league appearances for the first time since August 2019, when playing in Austria with FC Red Bull Salzburg.

No player has more assists in the Premier League this season than Pedro Neto (5), which is already the most by a Wolves player in a single campaign since Neto himself got six in 2020-21. Overall, Neto has been involved in six goals in his last six league games (1 goal, 5 assists), as many as in his previous 50.
