Bournemouth take on the visitors Wolverhampton in the round 9 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Saturday, October 21st at Vitality Stadium (Bournemouth)
Bournemouth spent a significant portion of the previous season under the leadership of Gary O'Neill. While he didn't have much experience, they managed to accumulate 39 points, which was enough for the newcomer, who had just returned from the Championship in 2022, to secure survival. The team even finished in 15th place. However, in June, a coaching change was made, and they opted for Andoni Iraola, who had made a name for himself at Rayo Vallecano. But the Basque manager's performance hasn't been as good as in La Liga. So far, his new team has only won in the League Cup, against Swansea and Stoke City. In the Premier League, they've only managed draws against West Ham, Brentford, and Chelsea, with losses in the rest of their matches.

Wolverhampton looks better than expected. The Wolves invited O'Neill just after he was shown the door at Bournemouth. More precisely, Gary agreed to join the project a few days before the start of the new season after Julen Lopetegui's resignation and the sale of several key players. Under such conditions, not many believed in Wolverhampton's chances. However, the club, despite being eliminated from the League Cup after a home loss to Ipswich, has already gathered 8 points. Five of those points were earned in the last three Premier League matches (draws with Luton and Aston Villa, along with a sensational 2-1 win against Manchester City).
Last year, in two matches between these teams, only 1 goal was scored. It resulted in an away victory for the Cherries and a goalless draw at the Vitality Stadium. The home team has a slight advantage in the odds. However, it's worth remembering that this is a match between underdogs. We expect under 2.5 goals.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 scored goals.
