Wolverhampton Wanderers and Southampton will lock horns with each other at the Molineux Stadium next week. The Premier League match is slated to kick off at 8pm UK time next Monday (November 23, 2020) and promises to be a hugely exciting game of football.

Wolverhampton Wanderers

Wolves are ninth in the Primmer League table at the moment with 13 points from eight matches. The Wanderers are five points behind leaders Leicester City and three points worse off fourth-placed Southampton. Nuno’s side have had a mixed start to the season and have not had the consistency that they would have wanted.

However, Wolves are very much in the race for the Champions League places, and given the quality of players they have in their squad, they will be confident of making it into the top four. The Wanderers suffered a 1-0 loss at the hands of Leicester City away from home at the King Power Stadium in the league before the two-week international break.

Team news:

Leander Dendoncker has a knee and groin problem, and it remains to be seen if he is fit enough for next week’s match.

Southampton

Southampton are doing much better than expected at the moment and find themselves fourth in the Premier League table with 16 points from eight matches. The Saints got the better of Newcastle United 2-0 at St. Mary’s Stadium in the league before the two-week international break and will head into the match against Wolves high on confidence.

Ralph Hasenhuttl is doing an excellent job as manager of Southampton, and the football the team are playing under him is pretty good too. The Saints did not start the season strongly, as they lost against Crystal Palace and Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League, but since then, they have defeated Everton and Aston Villa among other teams.

Team news:

James Ward-Prowse is back in training with Southampton again and appears to have recovered from a hamstring injury.

Key Factors to Consider

• Wolves have scored eight goals in eight league matches.
  Southampton have scored 16 goals in eight league matches.
  Wolves have conceded nine goals in eight league games.
  Southampton have conceded 12 goals in eight league games.
  The Wanderers drew 1-1 with the Saints at home in the league last season.

Conclusion

Southampton will feel very confident, but Wolves will have home advantage despite the lack of fans. One should not be surprised if the game ends in a scored draw.
