Bournemouth and Wolves meet at Molineux with the Cherries hoping to build on their last-gasp 3-2 win over Liverpool.

Wolves have shown plenty of spirit in recent weeks with a five-match unbeaten run raising morale in the Black Country, even though in all likelihood they are still facing the drop this season.

Rob Edwards' side are a huge 17 points adrift of safety with only 15 games left and, even though they will be confident of testing an inconsistent Cherries side, it is difficult to envisage a home win on Saturday.

Team news

Toti Gomes (hamstring) has been ruled out for Wolves and Jean-Ricner Bellegarde will be assessed as he bids to return after seven weeks out with his own hamstring injury.

The hosts have not suffered any reported fresh injury problems in the lead up to the game.

For Bournemouth, Marcus Tavernier remains out with a hamstring injury, but recent signing Alex Toth, who came off the bench against Liverpool, is pushing for a start.

Ben Gannon-Doak, Justin Kluivert, Julio Soler, Tyler Adams and David Brooks are all still on the sidelines for the visitors.

The stats

Wolves have won just one league game all season and have lost eight of their 11 home matches in the top-flight.

Bournemouth have netted two or more goals in five of their last six games in all competitions.

The Cherries, with 38, are comfortably the highest scorers in the bottom half, while Wolves' goal tally of just 15 goals is the lowest in the division.

Only Chelsea and Tottenham have scored more goals away from home than Bournemouth (19) so far this season.

Prediction

Wolves' recent improved run came to an end last weekend with a 2-0 defeat at title-chasing Man City and it is difficult to see them getting anything off mid-table Bournemouth at Molineux on Saturday.

However, this clash looks tricky to call overall, considering the Cherries' hard-fought home win over Liverpool last time was only their second win in 15 games and the hosts are still, in reality, set to be relegated.

Therefore, to state the obvious, Wolves' clear struggles all season suggest they, too, are not a team to back.

It could mean that they end up cancelling each other out, but the smarter play might be on siding with the visitors to score at least twice in what should be a keenly-fought game.

Bournemouth are difficult to trust on the road, having won just once on their travels, but they usually provide plenty of entertainment, having scored two or more goals in five of their last six matches in all competitions.

This is also a Cherries team that has been involved in some high-scoring games this season, including a 3-3 draw at Crystal Palace and a 4-4 thriller at Man Utd.
