Wolverhampton take on the visitors Bournemouth in the round 24 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Saturday, February 18th at Molineux (Wolverhampton).
Wolverhampton have been able to improve results and football after the appointment of Lopetegui. The Wolves failed the start of the campaign. But it was not immediately possible to agree with Julen - at first, instead of the dismissed Bruno Lage, the manager's duties were performed by Stephen Davis, and very unsuccessfully. As a result, the Spaniard had to raise the project from the bottom. Moreover, in the Premier League and with him in November it was not possible to catch on for points. But the new coaching staff made good use of the long pause during the World Cup. Already in the very first match, a strong-willed victory over Everton, a direct competitor, was taken. Then points were scored quite actively - which is worth 3-0 with Liverpool. Yes, three points after 2-1 win with Southampton will definitely not be superfluous.

Bournemouth look like the main contender for relegation. The Cherries made a key mistake, perhaps, when Scott Parker was fired. But it was this manager who directly raised his wards in the Premier League following the results of the 1st year of work already. And he started at a more difficult level with victories - but he was not forgiven for a chain of defeats to the giants, especially 0-9 with Liverpool. Moreover, the successor was Gary O'Neill, who has no coaching experience. At first, in the fall, even "by inertia" a lot happened. But in the winter they started with 4 defeats in a row, not counting the relegation from both cups. With another newcomer, Nottingham Forest, then brought down 1-1. But this was followed by another defeat, 0-1 with Brighton. Yes, they took a draw with Newcastle, but this is more a loss of 2 points by the opponent.
In the past 6 head-to-head matches in a row Wolverhampton have strictly alternated victories over Bournemouth and draws. Summer ended 0-0 on the "Cherries" field. The Wolves are playing against a newly-promoted team in a crisis. We bet on the hosts with a "-1 goal" handicap.
Prediction for the match: Wolverhampton to win with -1.0 handicap.
