A crucial Premier League encounter awaits at Molineux on Friday, 31st January 2026, with kick-off scheduled for 3:00 PM GMT, as rock-bottom Wolves, currently 20th in the table, host 13th-placed Bournemouth. The hosts are desperate for points to stave off what appears to be an inevitable relegation battle, while the visitors arrive buoyed by recent results, looking to solidify their mid-table standing.
Wolves vs Bournemouth Form
Wolves come into this fixture on the back of a 2-0 away defeat to Manchester City, a result that snapped a four-game unbeaten run across all competitions. Their league form has been particularly concerning, with the Old Gold failing to win in an astonishing 26 of their last 27 Premier League matches. Over their last six league outings, the hosts have secured just one win, alongside three draws and two losses, positioning them 16th in the recent form table. Notably, there have been under 2.5 goals scored in Wolves's last three Premier League games, highlighting their struggles in front of goal.
Wolves vs Bournemouth Head to Head
The most recent meeting between these two sides saw Bournemouth secure a narrow 1-0 victory at home against Wolves in August 2025. Looking back at the last six competitive encounters, the rivalry has been evenly contested. Wolves have recorded three victories (one of which came via a penalty shootout in the FA Cup), while Bournemouth have also claimed three wins. A particularly interesting statistic is that Bournemouth have won their last three away matches against Wolves across all competitions. Furthermore, mirroring Wolves' recent low-scoring trend, there have been under 2.5 goals scored in the last three matches between these two teams in all competitions.

Wolves vs Bournemouth Team News
Wolves will be without a few key players for this crucial clash. Bellegarde and Gomes are both sidelined due to injury, while Chirewa is also unavailable for undisclosed reasons. Despite their attacking woes, Tolu Arokodare is expected to partner Hwang Hee-Chan upfront, with Arokodare having a knack for late goals, scoring seven of his last eight club goals after the 70th minute.
Bournemouth face a more extensive injury list, with Tyler Adams, Akinmboni, Brooks, Dennis, Gannon-Doak, Kluivert, Soler, and Tavernier all ruled out. Manager Iraola will need to contend with these absences, but Amine Adli and Junior Kroupi are anticipated to provide support for Evanilson in attack. Adli himself is a late threat, with nine of his last 12 club goals arriving after the hour mark.

Prediction: Wolves 0-1 Bournemouth
This fixture pits Wolves' defensive solidity against Bournemouth's more potent, albeit sometimes vulnerable, attack. The hosts, despite showing some defensive improvement with recent clean sheets at Molineux, suffer from a significant weakness in finishing scoring chances and keeping possession. Their struggles with defending against through ball attacks and avoiding individual errors could prove costly. Bournemouth, conversely, boast strengths in finishing scoring chances, counter-attacks, and creating opportunities through individual skill. The Cherries also possess a threat from direct free-kicks, a potential avenue for a goal.
Best Bet: Under 2.5 Goals (-112) Click here to get the best odds at FanDuel Sportsbook
Considering the prediction of a tight 0-1 scoreline, and supported by key match facts, betting on Under 2.5 Goals appears to be a strong option. Wolves have seen under 2.5 goals in their last three Premier League games, and crucially, the last three meetings between these two clubs in all competitions have also featured fewer than 2.5 goals. This consistent trend, combined with Wolves' attacking struggles and Bournemouth's defensive vulnerabilities, points towards a low-scoring affair.
