Our prediction for this Premier League match:
Saturday’s football game at Molineux Stadium pits together Wolverhampton and Bournemouth. The Wolves aim to build on back-to-back wins over Southampton and Fulham and they must be high on confidence ahead of the visit of Bournemouth. Both Enso Gonzalez and Boubacar Traore remain in the recovery room, but Gary O’Neil can count on key players for the round 13 clash.
Meanwhile, the Cherries aim to bounce back from a 2-1 loss to Brighton, but they will have to do it without suspended midfielder Antoine Semenyo. As the Ghana international is going to be sorely missed in Saturday’s encounter, we are tempted to put our money on the hosts. Luis Sinisterra remains on the sidelines with injury, alongside Alex Scott and Julian Araujo. In their last meeting in the English top flight Bournemouth defeated Wolverhampton 1-0, meaning that the hosts are hungry for revenge.
Highlighted Player (Hee-Chan Hwang):
Hwang Hee-Chan is a product of Pohang Steelers football academy. The Korean attacker, who was born in Chuncheon on January 26, 1996, started his senior career at FC Liefering of Austria and he scored 13 goals in 31 appearances for the club. The 177-cm tall striker currently plays for Red Bull Salzburg and you should bear in mind that he netted 12 goals for the club in the 2016/2017 season.
Hwang Hee-Chan won his second Austrian Bundesliga title with Salzburg in the 2016/2017 season, but the Red Bulls eventually failed to make it to the Champions League group stages. The Salzburg footballer made his South Korea debut in a 2-0 win over Canada on November 11, 2016.
Hee-Chan played regularly for the Korea national football team in the 2018 World Cup qualifiers and he scored one goal in the process. The Koreans eventually booked their place at the showpiece tournament in Russia, meaning that the Salzburg attacker will have a chance to prove his worth on the big stage.
Highlighted Team (Bournemouth):
Bournemouth are a professional football club that was formed back in 1890. The Cherries secured promotion to the Premier League in the 2015/2016 season, with the team making it to the English top flight for the first time ever.
Bournemouth play their home games at Dean Court and the capacity of the stadium is 11,469.
The Cherries enjoyed a very successful season on their Premier League debut, with the team beating the likes of Chelsea and Manchester United in the national championship. Glenn Murray scored the winner for Bournemouth in the 1-0 win over the capital club at Stamford Bridge and that is probably the greatest victory in the club’s history.
Bournemouth have been participating in the FA Cup since 1913, but they have yet to win the trophy in the prestigious competition. It has to be noted that the club’s original name Boscombe Athletic Football Club was changed to Bournemouth back in 1923 as the club owners wanted the Cherries to be more representative of the district.
