Bournemouth Poised for Club Records in Away Wins and Points Ahead of Wolves Clash

Having accumulated 42 points from 33 matches, Bournemouth occupies the 13th position in the league standings. They are poised to face off against Wolves, a team managed by their former manager, Gary O’Neil. Bournemouth has faced setbacks in their recent away matches, succumbing to a 2-1 defeat against Luton Town and a 3-1 loss to Aston Villa. Despite these setbacks, the Cherries are on the cusp of equaling a club record for the most Premier League away wins in a single season. With five league victories on their travels this term, they require just one more win to match the tally of six away victories achieved in their inaugural Premier League campaign in the 2015-16 season. In the event that they fail to match the club record on Wednesday, Bournemouth will have two additional opportunities to do so in their final two away games against Arsenal and Chelsea. Andoni Iraola’s team also seeks to match and surpass another club record before the conclusion of the 2023-24 campaign. The South Coast side needs five points from their final five matches to surpass their record points total of 46 set in the 2016-17 season. Bournemouth’s hopes of securing all three points on Wednesday are tempered by the fact that they have managed only one victory in their seven Premier League encounters with Wolves (D2, L4). However, that victory occurred in Bournemouth’s most recent visit to Molineux in February 2023, when O’Neil was still in charge of the Cherries. Dominic Solanke has etched his name into the history books of the 2023-24 campaign, having scored an impressive 18 goals in the top flight, setting a new club record for the most goals scored by a Bournemouth player in a single Premier League season. With nine of those goals coming on the road, Solanke needs just one more goal to set the outright record for the most away goals scored by a Cherries player in a Premier League campaign. Iraola has confirmed that he has no new injury concerns, but he is still likely to be without Ryan Fredericks, Marcus Tavernier, Luis Sinisterra, Chris Mepham, and Tyler Adams. French midfielder Romain Faivre is expected to miss a second consecutive game after sustaining an injury in training last week.
