Wolves vs Southampton Match Preview

Wolves is ranked at 12th place with 13 points and comes after three wins a draw and a loss over the last five matches. It has been not the best start for them and losing Jota to Liverpool took some power from their offensive side, but I still see Wolves as a team that is going to compete for a spot in Europa League.

In the past season, they failed to qualify for a European spot only because of the goal difference. They have scored only five goals in the last five matches, definitely not a great result, but with players like Jimenez and Traore, I expect them to start firing up sooner than later. Also at home Wolves managed to find the back of the net at least once in each of the four matches played until now.

Southampton, on the other hand, is ranked at the 5th place with 16 points and comes almost in a perfect run after four wins and a draw over the last five matches. In fact, they have surprised everyone with their form this season, and with 16 goals scored so far, they have one of the best attacks in the league averaging two goals per game.

In the last five matches, they scored a total of 13 goals managing to find the back of the net at least once in each duel. Only on one occasion this year they failed to score a goal and it was in the opener against Crystal Palace.

In conclusion, I think this match can have over 2.5 goals. Wolves will seek to get a win which would be very important as they can climb up to 6th place. In their four h2h games in the last two Premier League seasons, they punished Southampton every time they faced them. Southampton is on fire currently and despite missing Ings here they have got other players like Adams or Walcott who can be on the score sheet.
