Wolves are gearing up for an important clash against Bournemouth this Saturday, October 21, marking a significant return for Gary O'Neil to the Vitality Stadium since his departure.
With the international break behind us, Premier League football is set to resume this weekend, and one fixture on the calendar likely holds special significance for O'Neil.
As we approach the eighth matchweek, the Cherries currently find themselves in the 19th spot in the domestic table, having endured five defeats and three draws so far. Meanwhile, the Wanderers are positioned at 14th, offering an intriguing contrast in form and ambition.
Ahead of the meeting, the former footballer and pundit Chris Sutton has weighed in on this clash, and his score prediction adds another layer of anticipation to this match.
"This is a big game for Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola, with his predecessor Gary O'Neil coming back to his old club.
The Cherries are desperate to get their first win in the league under Iraola and it feels like it would be particularly damaging for him if they were to lose this one, because it is against O'Neil and Wolves.
O'Neil's sacking last summer was very harsh and he will be so determined to win this game. I think he will do it, too." Suttonstated via BBC.
