The last time we saw Bournemouth, it was getting pummeled, 9-0, by Liverpool. It was the third blowout loss on the spin for the Cherries, who have been outscored 16-0 in their last three matches.
A return to the Vitality Stadium to play Wolverhampton will be quite the reprieve for Bournemouth, even if it is a home underdog on Wednesday.
As uninspiring as Bournemouth has been, the Wolves have not been much better. Wolverhampton is 0-2-2 (W-D-L) with two goals scored and four allowed through four matches against Newcastle, Tottenham, Fulham, and Leeds. The Wolves’ expected goal (xG) differential doesn’t paint a much rosier picture, as only Bournemouth and Leicester have created fewer expected goals so far this season.

Bournemouth is never going to be confused with a capable attacking outfit, but against a lackluster opponent, it’s not as if it will take a crooked number to get these three points, and it’ll actually have some margin for error for the first time in four matches.
Wolverhampton is the better side, but the Wolves do not deserve to be this big of a favorite on the road against any team in the Premier League.
The Cherries won’t win many matches this season, but they’re a live home underdog against a very pedestrian Wolverhampton side on Wednesday.
The play: Bournemouth +230 (BetMGM)
