Premier League: Wolves vs Bournemouth 31/01/2026

Wolves have significantly improved their form and look confident at home, while Bournemouth are solid overall but inconsistent away, making Wolves a valuable underdog pick to get a positive result.

Betting on the Winner

Wolves welcome the “Cherries” on Saturday in a match that fans at Molineux are looking forward to far more than they were just a few weeks ago. Up until December 27th, Wolves looked like serious candidates to finish the season with the worst points tally in Premier League history. At that moment, a 2–1 defeat to Liverpool left them with just two points from 18 matches.

Since then, they have taken six points from five games, with only one loss, which came last weekend away to Manchester City. The turnaround in form has been truly impressive — draws away at Manchester United and Everton, as well as two clean sheets at home: a convincing 3–0 win over West Ham and a hard-fought 0–0 draw with Newcastle. On top of that came an emphatic 6–1 victory over Shrewsbury in the FA Cup.

However, it must be said that they are facing a team that is also in solid form. Although Bournemouth were knocked out of the FA Cup on penalties after a 3–3 draw with Newcastle, their recent league form looks very good. Last weekend they beat Liverpool 3–2, and before that they defeated Tottenham at home by the same scoreline. Between those two matches they drew away at Brighton and Chelsea, with their only defeat in that period being a narrow 3–2 home loss to Arsenal.

That said, their away form has been an issue this season, and their second defeat in the last six matches was a heavy 4–1 loss to Brentford. I believe the pressure in this game is actually on the visiting side, whose fans expect all three points. Wolves are currently full of confidence, their tails are up, and this is a great opportunity for them to attack and push for a positive result. I have a feeling they will succeed, and that outcome can be backed at odds as high as 3.20 with bookmaker Megapari.
