Bournemouth vs Wolves Prediction Betting Tips & Preview

Bournemouth vs Wolves Odds

Date: 23/08/25
Kick-off time: 15:00
Venue: Vitality Stadium

Bournemouth are back at home, and this time they welcome Wolves to the south coast. Both sides are licking their wounds after defeats last weekend — Bournemouth went down 4-2 at Liverpool, while Wolves were swept aside 4-1 by champions Manchester City.

So, who’s bouncing back stronger this Saturday? Let’s dig in.

Bournemouth vs Wolves Team News

Bournemouth

Andoni Iraola has a few headaches. Ryan Christie (fitness), Lewis Cook (knee), and Enes Ünal (ACL) are all unavailable. The good news? Antoine Semenyo looks in sharp form after netting twice at Anfield, while Djordje Petrovic will be hoping for a calmer afternoon in goal.

The Cherries are likely to stick with their 4-2-3-1, pushing Tavernier and Brooks wide, with Evanilson up top. The key question is whether their back line can finally hold firm after conceding ten in their last six games.

Wolves

Vítor Pereira’s side are in better shape injury-wise, with just Yerson Mosquera (ACL) ruled out. Expect a 3-4-2-1 system, with Jose Sa between the sticks and Strand Larsen leading the line. Joao Gomes and André Trindade will try to control midfield, but Wolves’ defensive numbers are worrying — twelve conceded in their last six matches.

Likely Lineups

Bournemouth: Petrovic; Smith, Diakité, Senesi, Truffert; Adams, Scott; Brooks, Tavernier, Semenyo; Evanilson

Wolves: Sa; Agbadou, Toti Gomes, Doherty; Hoever, Joao Gomes, André Trindade, Møller Wolfe; Bellegarde, Munetsi; Strand Larsen

Bournemouth vs Wolves Betting Tips

Here’s what I think… this game screams goals. Neither side is defending well right now, and both rely on quick transitions. Bournemouth have pace through Semenyo and Tavernier, while Wolves will look for Strand Larsen to make things stick up top.

Angles worth considering:

• Bournemouth to win & over 2.5 goals.
• Semenyo to score anytime.
• Both teams to score – yes.

Wolves have enjoyed trips to the Vitality recently, unbeaten in their last five visits. But current form suggests Bournemouth are better placed to edge this one.

Bournemouth vs Wolves Match Prediction

Bournemouth at home always look more dangerous. They’ll press high, try to get the crowd behind them, and create chances. Wolves will fight — they’ve got physicality and decent pace out wide — but their defence looks shaky, and I think that costs them.

Match Prediction: Bournemouth win. Bet with bet365.

Bournemouth vs Wolves Correct Score Tips & Prediction

I’m leaning towards a 2-0 Bournemouth win. Wolves will have spells, but I just don’t see them carving out enough clear chances. Semenyo’s form is the difference-maker here.

Correct Score Prediction: Bournemouth 2-0 Wolves. Bet with bet365.

Bournemouth vs Wolves Over & Under Goals Betting Tips

Both teams’ numbers point to goals. Bournemouth’s last six have averaged three goals per game. Wolves’ last six? Just over 3.5 per game. Neither side looks capable of grinding out a 0-0.

Over 2.5 goals feels solid. Over 3.5 goals is riskier but tempting, given the way both back lines have looked.

Over/Under Prediction: Over 2.5 Goals. Bet with bet365.
