- Competition: FA Cup
- Date: Saturday, 1st March 2025
- Kickoff: 15:00 UK / 16:00 CET
- Venue: Vitality Stadium (Bournemouth)
The 2024/25 could be the most successful in Bournemouth's history. After 27 league rounds, they are only one point behind the Champions League positions. Still, it sounds unrealistic for the team from Vitality Stadium to play in the most elite European competition, but Andoni Iraola's team is playing well and will have a chance to defy all odds. Last weekend, Bournemouth made a step back with a 2-1 defeat on the road against Brighton. Although the guests finished with eight shots on the goal more than the opponent, the home side had more quality chances and secured a big victory.
For most of the season, Wolverhampton spent in the drop zone. However, after a few solid wins in the previous four matches, they propelled five points above the relegation position. Last weekend, Wolverhampton had another solid chance, but they lost 2-1 at home against Fulham. The guests were much better at converting their goal-scoring chances, so the home side stayed empty-handed.
Bournemouth vs Wolverhampton pick: Under 2.5 goals
Bournemouth and Wolverhampton had a previous h2h match last week in the league. In that game, Wolves unexpectedly won 1-0. Both sides had some problems with converting goal-scoring chances lately, so we shouldn't see more than two goals in this game.

Bournemouth team news
In the previous Premier League round, Bournemouth's Ryan Christie had to come off in the first half due to injury. His status is not fully clear at the moment, but it seems unrealistic for Christie to play against Wolverhampton on Saturday afternoon. Enes Unal, Adam Smith, Julian Araujo, Marcos Senesi, and Illia Zabarnyi are injured, too.
