AFC Bournemouth vs Wolverhampton Wanderers History

These clubs don’t share a storied history by any stretch. Their first-ever meeting was in 1948, which wasn't too long ago relative to the history of football in England. It was a Third Round tie in the FA Cup and Wolves won it by two goals to one.

They reconvened in the same competition, in the Fourth Round, nine years later. This time Bournemouth were 1-0 winners.

Almost three decades went by until they shared a pitch again, for the first time in a league fixture. It came in the 1985/86 campaign of the Third Division, with Bournemouth winning both home and away.

Bournemouth and Wolves first clashed in the second tier of the Football League in 1989/90. They met in the second round of the League Cup in 1998/99, as the Cherries took a 3-2 victory on aggregate.

Wolves were mildly successful in the 20th century, particularly during the 1950s in which the West Midlands club won the First Division on three occasions.

On the other hand, Bournemouth had yet to collect a first piece of major silverware by the end of the 2022/23 season.

There are a few players who have represented both of these teams:

• Former England international Darren Anderton is best known for his 12-year association with Tottenham Hotspur, where he amassed 350 appearances for the Lilywhites. However, towards the end of his playing career, Anderton spent a solitary season at Wolves followed by two-and-a-half years with Bournemouth.

• Sam Vokes was part of the Bournemouth Academy and went on to feature 59 times for the senior team. In 2008 he switched to Wolves, though the Wales striker was subject to six loan moves away from Molineux Stadium before joining Burnley in 2012.

• Benik Afobe moved from Arsenal to Wolves in 2015, for a transfer fee of £2m. He was sold to Bournemouth for £10m just 12 months later, but completed a return to Wolves in 2018.

AFC Bournemouth vs Wolverhampton Wanderers Head-to-Head

Following the turn of the 21st century, these teams met in the 2014/15 season of the Championship. Bournemouth were victorious both home and away to Wolves, on their way to achieving a first-ever promotion to the top flight of English football.

In the 2018/19 Premier League campaign, the Cherries faced Wolves in the top division of the English football pyramid for the first time ever. In this fixture, Josh King scored for the hosts before Raul Jiménez restored parity in a 1-1 draw.

The following season, Jiménez was again on the scoresheet as Wolves earned victory at Dean Court for only the second time in history.
