• Bournemouth were beaten 4-2 at Liverpool in the season opener

• Wolves lost 4-0 at home to Man City in their first match

• Recommended bet: Draw or Wolves Double Chance

New-look defences at Bournemouth and Wolves were left exposed last weekend and respective coaches Andoni Iraola and Vitor Pereira will be hoping they can tighten things up when the teams meet at the Vitality Stadium on Saturday.

The Cherries lost 4-2 at champions Liverpool 24 hours before Wolves were beaten 4-0 at home by fallen champs Manchester City. Both looked bright going forward but calamitous at the back, and will need to sharpen up defensively.

Team news

Justin Kluivert, Bournemouth's top scorer last season, has just returned to training following a calf injury.

Coach Andoni Iraola needs to decide whether to include new signings Ben Doak and Amine Adli in his matchday squad.

Wolves boss Vitor Pereira may hand either Jhon Arias or Fer Lopez a start alongside Jorgen Strand Larsen, while full-back Jackson Thatchoua, the quickest player in Serie A last season, may also be involved after his move from Verona.

Prediction

Iraola's rebuilt back four was taken apart at Liverpool on the opening night of the season, though his Bournemouth side still looked bright going forward in a 4-2 loss.

Wolves also had moments against Manchester City but any mistakes were cruelly punished, with Pep Guardiola's men scoring with each of their efforts on target in a 4-0 win.

Iraola and Pereira had much to mull over after those respective defeats, although the quality of the opposition was very much a mitigating factor.

Now, though, this is the type of fixture both will have pencilled in for wins and it is certainly a game Wolves seem to enjoy having not lost on any of their six previous visits in the Premier League and FA Cup.

Both managers are set to field new-look attacks — the likes of Ben Doak at Bournemouth and Jhon Arias at Wolves could get first starts — but it is leaks at the back which need plastering over.

At this stage of the season there is no great appetite to take the odds-on about a Bournemouth side who have won only three of their last 16 in all competitions.

Instead, and as we are beside the seaside, swim against the tide by taking the Draw or Wolves in the Double Chance market.
