Wolves will take some stopping

Everything is going right for Wolves at the moment. They have progressed to the sixth round of the FA Cup an dare riding high in seventh place in the Premier League. Their manager Nuno Espirito Santo should be on top club's radar, and yet he isn't getting the full praise he deserves yet. That may soon change, but Wolves seem to have an answer for everything.
There is not a lot between the two sides and home advantage could help AFCB.
Having already beaten Bournemouth at Molineux, Dean Court will hold little fear for a Wolves team that have beaten Everton and Spurs away in their last few away games. The wins are stacking up for Wolves who now have 11 wins and six clean sheets. The goals are being scored by Raúl Jiminez who has nine and Diogo Jota who has six, but they are also creating man chances through the assists of João Moutinho and trickery of Rúbens Neves.

They are suited very much to seeing possession teams come on to them and hitting them on the break. Away games are ideal for their fast attackers like Ivan Cavaleiro Hélder Costa and Adam Traoré. Set-pieces will also be a problems for AFCB with the heading ability and presence of Matt Doherty who has three goals to his name - he has been injured though of late.

Bournemouth will need to find something special to keep Wolves out in this game and to try and score against a defence that has let in 34 goals, 14 better than the Cherries. While Wolves may be annoyed that they only got a point last time out against Newcastle, they will be looking to make a mends for that, so AFCB have to be very much on their guard for this fixture. The incentive Eddie Howe has is that a win would put them right back on the heels of Wolves and back in the picture for a good top 10 finish.
