Wolverhampton Wanderers vs AFC Bournemouth

, KO: 15:00 , Molineux
AFC Bournemouth

AFC Bournemouth are back on the up in the Premier League and will be looking to continue their revival when they travel to rock-bottom Wolverhampton Wanderers.

The Cherries looked in danger of being dragged into the relegation battle during a worrying slump that saw them go 11 games without a win in all competitions.

But they've banked seven points from their last three Premier League games to move 10 points clear of danger, despite losing star man Antoine Semenyo to Manchester City.

With Wolves doomed to the drop, Andoni Iraola will see this game as a great chance for Bournemouth to move further up the table.

But there's no doubt the Molineux men have improved a lot since Rob Edwards took over, even though they've still managed to pick up just one Premier League win all season.

Wolves lost 2-0 at the Etihad in their last outing but they had gone five unbeaten before that, claiming creditable draws with the likes of Everton, Newcastle and Manchester United.

How the bookies view it: Cherries on top

With both teams in decent form this is a tricky one to call but Bournemouth are favourites at a best 13/10 with Betfred. Wolverhampton Wanderers are as big as 11/5 with BetMGM, who price the draw at 13/5.

Recent head to head: Nothing in it

Bournemouth won 1-0 on the south coast when these sides faced off earlier in the season but this fixture has been closely fought in recent years. The last 10 meetings have produced four victories apiece and two draws.

Players to watch: Kid now the main Mane

One of the biggest reasons for Wolves' recent revival has been the emergence of teenager Matheus Mane. He has two goals from his last five appearances and is 7/4 at Bet365 to score or assist. The forward is also 10/11 with BetMGM just to have an effort on target.

Evanilson has hit scoring form for Bournemouth, with the Brazilian scoring three times in his last five matches. He's 8/5 with William Hill for a goal or assist.

Probable line-ups

Wolves have a relatively clean bill of health but Toti Gomes, Jean-Ricner Bellegarde, Leon Chiwome and Tawenda Chirewa are set to miss out again.

Bournemouth have more issues, with Marcus Tavernier, Ben Gannon-Doak, Matai Akinmboni, Tyler Adams, Will Dennis, Justin Kluivert, Veljko Milosavljevic and David Brooks all carrying injuries.

Wolverhampton Wanderers: Sa, Bueno, Mosquera, Krejci, Bueno, Andre, J Gomes, Tchatchoua, Hwang Hee-Chan, Arokodare, Mane.

AFC Bournemouth: Petrovic, Truffert, Senesi, Smith, Hill, Cook, Scott, Jimenez, Christie, Kroupi, Evanilson.

Anything else catch the eye?

Goals are usually guaranteed with Bournemouth and this should be an open game as draws are of no use to Wolves now.

BTTS has landed in the last nine for the Cherries and combining that with over 2.5 goals pays evens with William Hill.

Ryan Christie hasn't featured much for Bournemouth this season due to injuries but made a big impact off the bench against Liverpool last time out.

The Scot could be handed a start here and looks good at 13/8 with Bet365 for a shot on target if he does get the nod.
