Bournemouth will take on Wolves on Saturday, 23 August, in the Cherries' first home Premier League match of the season.
Both teams suffered defeats on the opening weekend, albeit against two of the best three teams in the division in Manchester City and Liverpool.
However, they will both consider this match as an opportunity to get up and running for the season.
As part of this week's round of Premier League betting tips, check out our Bournemouth vs Wolves prediction below.

Bournemouth vs Wolves prediction: The Cherries to return to winning ways
Key Stats
- Wolves have conceded 11 goals across their last four Premier League matches.
- Bournemouth scored four goals across their two Premier League matches against Wolves last season.
- Wolves haven't scored a goal in three of their last five league matches.
Correct score prediction: Bournemouth 2-0 Wolves
Although both teams lost on the opening weekend, Bournemouth came significantly closer to taking something from Liverpool than Wolves did from Man City. The Cherries scored twice at Anfield, so they are more than capable of doing the same again this weekend against Wolves.

Bournemouth preview: Potential debuts for two new signings
Bournemouth have had a busy week after losing their opening match of the season, signing Ben Doak from Liverpool and Amine Adli from Bayer Leverkusen. Both men could make their debuts this weekend, with Doak the likelier of the two. Justin Kluivert and Ryan Christie are both doubts, but Enes Unal and Lewis Cook are both definitely out.
Predicted lineup: Petrovic (GK), Smith, Diakite, Senesi, Truffert, Scott, Adams, Semenyo, Tavernier, Doak, Evanilson

Wolves preview: Will Strand Larsen play?
Although Wolves have only just permanently signed Jorgen Strand Larsen, the former Celta Vigo man could already be on the move, with Wolves and Newcastle locked in talks about a possible transfer. As a result, it wouldn't be a shock to see him sit this one out. In better news, new signing Jackson Tchatchoua could make his debut.
Predicted lineup: Sa (GK), Doherty, Toti, Agbadou, Tchatchoua, Andre, Gomes, Wolfe, Lopez, Munetsi, Hwang

Player to watch: Antoine Semenyo
Antoine Semenyo was the victim of racist abuse at Anfield last Friday night, and the winger responded in remarkable fashion, netting twice to drag his team back into the match. Semenyo is ready to start again this weekend, and he will be looking to put on another brilliant display in front of his home supporters.
