Vitality Stadium
Bournemouth, England
Saturday,1 March 2025
Kick-off is at 15h00
As two sides on a losing run in the Premier League, Bournemouth and Wolves will hope to do better when they meet at the Vitality Stadium in the 5
th Round of the
FA Cup on Saturday.
The Cherries advanced to the 5
th Round of the FA Cup via a 2-0 win against Everton at Goodison Park on the 8
th of February.
In what was a game that Bournemouth controlled throughout the 90 minutes, a 23
rd minute Antoine Semenyo penalty, coupled with Daniel Jebbison’s 43
rd minute strike was enough for the popular Premier League outfit to qualify for the 5
th round.
Wolves on the other hand, made sure of their passage to the 5
th Round of the FA Cup following a 2-0 win against Blackburn Rovers on away soil.
A dominant first-half display saw Joao Gomes and Matheus Cunha get their names on the scoresheet at Edwood Park on the 9
th of February.
Reflecting on his side’s 2-1 loss to Brighton in the Premier League, Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola ultimately expressed that he was delighted with his team’s performance.
"I'm quite pleased with the performance but Brighton were much better with scoring and Danny Welbeck had a great finish. We had clear chances, didn't score and they made us pay,” Iraola said.
Wolves mentor Vitor Pereira mentioned that he is concerned about his team’s injury troubles following their 2-1 defeat against Fulham in the Premier League.
“We need to reflect. We need to think about our mistakes. We need to look at ourselves, it's not about the other team, it's about us,” Pereira said.
“Today [vs Fulham], after three days, the players tried everything, but not in the right way. This is a problem against a team that when they started to do the subs, they came with a lot of players with high quality, because they have these solutions in the squad.
“At this moment with the injuries for us, it’s difficult.”
