Bournemouth v Wolves: Prediction, Tips and Odds

An all-Premier League FA Cup tie takes place at the Vitality Stadium on Saturday afternoon when Bournemouth take on Wolves.

This will be the third time these two sides have clashed this season, with the Cherries earning a 4-2 victory at Molineux in November before Vitor Pereira's side gained revenge with a 1-0 triumph on the south coast.

That victory at the Vitality for Wolves came just a week ago, when the visitors made the most of Illia Zabarnyi's red card to claim a much-needed three points in their quest for Premier League survival.

Attention now turns to the FA Cup and this contest promises to be an entertaining affair.

Bournemouth v Wolves betting tips and predictions

Bournemouth to win and both teams to score - 11/5

Bournemouth have been enjoying a positive season and they are one of several teams in the hunt for a European finish, but they have hit a bump in the road of late after suffering two defeats in a row.

The start of this mini-slump was last weekend's 1-0 loss at home to Wolves, a result that can be offset slightly given the fact they played over half of the game with 10 men.

Tuesday's 2-1 defeat at Brighton was also not a surprise result, as the Seagulls have hit a purple patch of form and have been charging up the Premier League table over recent weeks.

Head coach Andoni Iraola will be hoping his side can hit the reset button and reach the quarter-finals of the FA Cup for the first time since the 2020/21 campaign.

Bournemouth have won two of their last three FA Cup ties at home, beating Swansea City 5-0 and Blackburn Rovers 5-1, and that strong home record may be enough to see off a Wolves side that have lost three of their last five away matches in all competitions.

It may not be a simple match for the Cherries, though, as they have struggled to keep the goals out with just one clean sheet recorded from their last five assignments.

Scoring at the other end hasn't been a problem for Iraola's troops, who have netted in three of their last four contests, but Wolves have also shown positive attacking output throughout the campaign.

Despite still being embroiled in a relegation battle, Wolves continue to play positive football and they have found the back of the net in 14 of their 17 away matches this season.

This could turn out to be a thrilling FA Cup tie that Bournemouth can edge, thus gaining revenge for last week's league defeat to the same opponent.

Antoine Semenyo anytime goalscorer - 2/1

There is no shortage of attacking options to choose from for Saturday's meeting and one player who sticks out at 2/1 to score at any time is Bournemouth forward Antoine Semenyo.

Ghana international Semenyo has played an important role for the Cherries this term, scoring nine goals in all competitions to sit behind only Justin Kluivert in the club's scoring charts.

The 25-year-old has scored in both FA Cup ties, bagging against West Brom and Everton, and he can snap a three-game streak without a goal against Wolves.

Over 4.5 total cards - 5/6

Bournemouth and Wolves have both got stuck in this season and they have picked up their fair share of yellow cards, with the Cherries being shown 68 in the league and Pereira's side 57.

That suggests both sides like to put a tackle in and that was evident when these two met just a week ago, with six yellows and one red being shown in the match.

In all competitions, there has been an average of 5.07 yellow cards in Bournemouth's matches and an average of 4.35 in contests involving Wolves.

There have been over 4.5 cards in six of Bournemouth's last eight assignments and it would be no surprise to see the pair go over that mark on Saturday, especially given the nature of the meeting last weekend.
