Wolverhampton Wanderers face a crucial home game as they host Bournemouth at Molineux. Wolves, currently propping up the Premier League table, will be desperate to build on the recent signs of progress and claim vital points in a desperate attempt to stay up. Here’s our Wolves team news & predicted lineup.<\/p>\n

Wolves Predicted Lineup As Hosts Look To Bounce Back<\/h2>\n

How Wolves Have Lined Up Recently<\/h3>\n

Under Rob Edwards, Wolves have largely stuck with a back three formation that has improved defensive organisation, particularly at home, where they kept a clean sheet against West Ham. However, inconsistent attacking output remains a concern, with this season\u2019s goal tally one of the lowest in the league.<\/p>\n

Last time out in a 2-0 loss to Manchester City<\/a>, Jos\u00e9 S\u00e0 started in goal behind a back three of Ladislav Krej\u010d\u00ed, Yerson Mosquera, and Santiago Bueno. Hugo Bueno and Jackson Tchatchoua took up the wing-back positions with Mateus Man\u00e9, Jo\u00e3o Gomes, and Andr\u00e9 through the middle. Playing without a recognised striker Hwang Hee-chan and Jhon Arias headed the attack.<\/p>\n

Wolves Recent Form And Tactics<\/h3>\n

The Wanderers’ last outing ended in a 2-0 defeat at Manchester City, where they struggled to retain possession and create chances but showed fight in patches. <\/span>Their tactical focus remains on compact defending and quick transitions through wide outlets, a strategy that has delivered results sporadically but one they\u2019ll lean on again at home.<\/p>\n

With home form comparatively stronger and Bournemouth\u2019s away struggles evident, with just the one win on the road, they could adopt a more ambitious posture, particularly early in the match.<\/p>\n

Wolves Team News<\/h3>\n

With Strand Larsen’s future up in the air regarding a potential transfer to Crystal Palace, Edwards confirmed he is still with the club for the time being in the pre-match press conference<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“He’s trained and will be part of the squad tomorrow. That’s as much as I can say.”<\/span><\/p>\n

He said the same thing about S\u00e1, who has also been linked with a move away this transfer window. Ladislav Krej\u010d\u00ed has been struggling with the flu and is unlikely to feature against Bournemouth. Jean-Ricner Bellegarde has recovered from his injury and will be available for selection.<\/p>\n
