Their defence has improved the longer the season has gone on. The Cherries have shipped only two goals in their last five league outings, home and away. They have taken back-to-back clean sheets at the Vitality. Bournemouth have netted 8 goals in their 6 home games so it’s not been a spectacular output. But still, the only visitors to win there this season have been Manchester City. There has been a trend at half time, with Bournemouth being level at the break in four of their six home games.

The Cherries have hit the back of the net in each of their last four home games and they have been more productive in the first half of fixtures. 67% of their league goals this season have been in the first half of games. They have had their struggles with a few key injuries this season, and that has seen them scored just two goals in their last five league fixtures. While the goals aren’t there, they do looks defensively strong enough to avoid defeat against Wolves.

Wolves News and Form – Will Wolves win away at Bournemouth?

It has been a steady rise up the table by Wolves after a poor start to the season. They picked up a 2-1 win at home over Aston Villa just before the international break and that extended their undefeated run of form to seven in the top flight (W3 D4). All four of the draws in that sequence of league games, incidentally, were 1-1 scoreline. It has to be a trend that punters should consider again.

Wolves have claimed only one away win this season in the league (W1 D4 L1) and that was an unexpected victory out at Man City of all places. Just one of Wolves’ away games this season have made it over 2.5 goals and that is more reason to expect this to be a low-scoring affair at the Vitality on Saturday. It has been two away clean sheets by Wolves this season on their travels.

Wolves have yet to be leading an away game at half time this season (D3 L3). A massive 81% of their league goals have come in the second half of games so far. They have come from behind in three of their last four league games to end up saving a point. A remarkable stat against them (for being a top ten side) is that they have conceded the opening goal in 8 of their 12 league fixtures this season.
