Final Prediction: Bournemouth 2-1 Wolves

• Bournemouth’s firepower at home should see them edge through.
• Wolves will make it tough, but their recent losses suggest a struggle.
• Expect a competitive, high-energy cup tie.
  

Bournemouth’s form has fluctuated, but they remain dangerous at home, winning three of their last five at the Vitality Stadium. Their dominant 2-0 win over Everton in the previous round was a showcase of their attacking depth.

Strengths:

• 57% chance of progression based on data analysis.
• 45 goals in all competitions this season.
• Strong home form in the FA Cup.

Concerns:

• Struggled defensively in recent losses, including a 2-1 defeat to Brighton.
• Can they break Wolves’ defensive resilience?
  

Wolves have been inconsistent in the league but solid in the FA Cup, seeing off Blackburn 2-0 in the last round. Their 1-0 league win over Bournemouth in February gives them confidence heading into this tie.

Reasons Wolves Could Upset the Odds:

• A strong recent record at Bournemouth.
• Defensive solidity—three clean sheets in their last five.
• Counter-attacking threat through Matheus Cunha.

The last time these sides met in the FA Cup was in 2017 when Wolves ran out 2-1 winners.
