Best Odds: 7/1
Bookmaker: Betfair
Southampton and Wolverhampton Wanderers will face each other in the Premier League this coming weekend. The match at St. Mary’s Stadium is slated to kick off at 12pm UK time on Sunday and promises to be an exciting game of football.
Southampton
Southampton are going though a bad spell at the moment and need to put together a run of positive results. The Saints suffered a 3-2 defeat to Newcastle United away from home at St. James’ Park in the Premier League this past weekend following a 9-0 hammering at the hands of Manchester United at Old Trafford in the league.
In fact, Southampton have lost their last five Premier League matches. Ralph Hasenhuttl’s side are 12th in the league table at the moment with 29 points from 22 matches. The Saints are not in danger of getting sucked into a relegation dogfight, but if they have any ambition of playing in the Europa League next season, then they have to to start winning matches.
Team News:
Takumi Minamino, signed on loan from Liverpool in the January transfer window, is likely to start again for Southampton. Kyle Walker-Peters is a doubt.
Wolverhampton Wanderers
Like Southampton, Wolverhampton Wanderers are not having the best of times at the moment. Nuno’s side are as low as 14th in the Premier League table now with 27 points from 23 matches.
Finishing in the top six or top seven of the Premier League table this season does seem unlikely for Wolves. The Wanderers, though, are showing some encouraging signs. Wolves started the month of February with a 2-1 win against Arsenal at home before playing out a goalless draw with Champions League hopefuls Leicester City.
Team News:
Raul Jimenez, Marcal, Daniel Podence, Willy Boly and Rayan Ait Nour are out.
Key Factors to Consider
- Wolves have scored 23 goals in 23 Premier League matches this season.
- Southampton have scored 29 goals in 23 Premier League matches this season.
- Wolves have conceded 31 goals in 23 Premier League games this campaign.
- Southampton have conceded 37 goals in 23 Premier League games this campaign.
- Wolves and Southampton will face each other in the FA Cup on Thursday.
Conclusion
With both Southampton and Wolves struggling at the moment, there is a good chance that this game could be decided by a single goal. Wolves have started to recover, and the Wanderers should manage to eke out three points from this encounter.
