Bournemouth vs Wolves odds
As one of only two remaining teams without a Premier League win this season, Bournemouth are in desperate need of a positive result here. The Cherries were simply dreadful in their 3-0 defeat to Everton prior to the international break and now sit 19th in the table with just three points from eight games. Bournemouth have scored the fewest goals (5) and have the lowest shot conversion rate (5.3%) 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, meanwhile, will certainly still be looking over their shoulders, sitting 14th with just eight points themselves. However, five of those points have come in their last three games, with draws against Luton and Aston Villa sandwiched between that excellent 2-1 victory against champions Manchester City. Former Cherries boss Gary O’Neil will be particularly motivated to show his old club how much of a mistake they made letting him go over the summer.
Andoni Iraola may well be on borrowed time if he is unable to deliver some positive performances, and, ideally, points on the board to go with them. There are not many poor sides in this Premier League to haul in if results don’t change soon.

Bournemouth vs Wolves Bet-Builder tip
Hwang Hee-chan to score > Pedro Neto to provide an assist
Wolves have struggled for goals so far this campaign, but when they do score, their two main men are involved. Pedro Neto has assisted five of his side’s eight goals so far this term, with no Premier League player providing more assists so far this season, while Hwang Hee-chan has scored five of Wolves eight goals and is looking to score in three consecutive league matches.
