Can AFCB get their first away win in 2020?

Looking at the fixture against Wolves, it is hard to make a case for Bournemouth romping away to a big win at Wolves. Still, crazier things have happened, and Bournemouth will start the game with a chance to change the mood. At the moment every one is down, but if Bournemouth were to beat Wolves, it would transform expectations again.

Are AFCB ready to restart with a win this time?

Of course, Bournemouth shouldn't get anywhere near Wolves. The stage is set for an easy home win for Wolves, and in some respects that is probably what Bournemouth want Wolves players to think. If a team is just slightly over confident and doesn't do the basics well things can change quickly.

Bournemouth need to change things in midfield. They have been getting overrun and a change in formation may be considered. Wolves usually play 3-5-2 and Bournemouth might do similar, although I expect Howe to keep a four at the back. Going forward there just hasn't been enough creativity and at the back the goals keep going in. Bournemouth have to look to themselves to sort their performances out and not worry about Wolves. If they keep gifting goals they can't expect to win, and I' like to see a very controlled and confident defensive performance from the Cherries. Get the defence right and the Cherries stay in the game which is important - eight draws could even be enough to stay up and you never know if the team could scrape a penalty or a goal from a set-piece.

The pressure is on and the players know it. Another performance like they put in against Crystal Palace won't be well accepted by the fans, so it will be another tough mental battle for the Cherries as they take on Wolves.
