Best Bets & Predictions
Based on Bournemouth’s superior attacking stats and Wolves’ chronic lack of goals, here are our top betting recommendations for this match. We’re particularly confident in a Bournemouth win due to their consistent scoring and Wolves’ struggles in front of goal.
| Our Prediction | Odds & Bookmaker | Confidence | Why We’re Backing It |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wolves to Win | 9/4 @ Matchbook (30.8%) | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Wolves look too big a price in the win market for a side that has lost just one of their last six matches across all competitons. That defeat came last weekend on the road at Manchester City were they let off 11 shots. Bournemouth may have beaten Liverpool on the south coast last weekend, but they are winless in ten on the road in the Premier League (D5 L5) |
| Mateus Mane to Score | 16/5 @ BetMGM (23.8%) | ⭐⭐⭐ | Despite Since making his first Premier League start on December 27, Mateus Mane has recorded at least one shot on target in five of his six outings. The youngster found the net against West Ham and Everton and has been a constant threat since his addition to the startng XI. At 16/5 with BetMGM, he looks good value to bag his third of the season, in a game where the market could be overlooking the hosts. |

How both teams go into Wolves vs Bournemouth
Wolverhampton Wanderers are rock bottom on eight points, 17 points adrift of safety with 15 matches to play. However, there is reason for optimism after some much improved performances under the guidance of Rob Edwards. Jorgen Strand Larsen looks to be on his way out of the club, and after last week’s showing at Man City, they will go into this game with nothing to fear.
Bournemouth earned a 3-2 victory over Liverpool at home in their last league match to extend their unbeaten streak to three, putting them in 13th place on 30 points. The Cherries have scored 38 goals and conceded 43 through 23 matches, leaving them trailing fifth-placed Chelsea by seven points for a spot in the Europa League.
