Andoni Iraola’s Cherries have sured all expectations this season, and are in hot pursuit of European football.

Currently seventh in the Premier League, Bournemouth could also qualify for continental competition by winning the FA Cup.

Having never made it past the quarter-finals, they are one step away from reaching that stage again this year.

They thrashed West Brom 5-1 in the third round before seeing off Everton last time out.

But recent league defeats to Brighton and Saturday’s opponents Wolves have shown a marked dip in form for the South Coast side.

Wolves will be hoping to repeat their 1-0 away win to secure back-to-back victories at the Vitality.

However, they too have been struggling lately. A 2-1 midweek defeat to Fulham meant the Midlands outfit are not entirely clear of the relegation zone, sitting five points above Leicester and Ipswich.

That gap will be reduced to two if the Foxes can beat West Ham on Thursday, but the FA Cup gives Wolves fans a chance to escape league action.

Despite winning the competition four times in their history, Wolves have not made the final since 1960.

Ryan Christie is unlikely to feature for Bournemouth after being forced off with an adductor issue against Brighton.

If he is ruled out, he will Julian Araujo (thigh), Marcos Senesi (thigh), Enes Unal (knee) and Adam Smith (unspecified) on the sidelines, with Ilya Zabarnyi still suspended after his red card against Wolves.

Alex Scott could therefore come in for Christie, with Evanilson possibly making an FA Cup debut as he recovers from a broken foot sustained in January.

Saturday’s visitors have no fresh injury concerns from midweek, but were already missing plenty of bodies.

Leon Chiwone (knee), Yerson Mosquera (knee), Enso Gonzalez (knee), Sasa Kalajdzic (knee), Rodrigo Gomes (groin), Goncalo Guedes (knee), Hwang Hee-chan (thigh) and Emmanuel Agbadou (thigh) are all still out.

Sam Johnstone is likely to start in goal, with Jose Sa rested, and there could be some minutes for Jorgen Strand Larsen up top.

Bournemouth Vs Wolves Prediction 591r26

The UK’s best football betting sites have Bournemouth as 4/15 favourites, while Wolves are at 17/5.

We mostly agree with that assessment, and expect the Cherries to have enough to take the win on home turf.

Although Bournemouth haven’t been at their best lately, neither have Wolves and we can’t see a repeat of their recent away win.

Prediction: Bournemouth 2-1 Wolves
