Bookmaker Ratings Prediction One: Wolves to win either half: YES — 1.92
Bookmaker Ratings Prediction Two: Total goals: Under 2.5 — 1.69
Bookmaker Ratings Prediction Three: Both teams to score: NO — 1.83
Wolverhampton Wanderers pulled off a huge 3-0 win over Liverpool at the Molineux Stadium on Saturday and will want to build on that against Southampton, who have been dreadful. Wolves won in either half in three of their last five matches, hence they could repeat the same against the Saints.
This game could end with less that three goals because four of Southampton’s last five home matches across all competitions ended with under 2.5 goals.
Both teams might not score in this game because four of Southampton’s last five home matches in all competitions ended without both teams scoring.
The Saints may have done well in cup games this season but they are in dire need of a turn of form in the Premier League if they fancy staying up in the Premier League. They got trounced 3-0 by Brentford on Saturday and their chances of pulling themselves off the relegation zone hit another wrong turn. Southampton have lost four and won one of their last five league games and for this reason, they sit at the bottom of the table with 15 points after 21 matches.
The Wanderers have pulled themselves off the relegation zone under new manager Julien Lopetegui. They bounced back to winning ways with a 3-0 win over Liverpool at home on Saturday evening. Wolves have lost two of their last five league games, including their 3-0 loss to Man City away from home but they have won two and drawn one, hence they moved out of the relegation to occupy the 15th position with 20 points after 21 games. They face struggling Southampton next weekend in high confidence.
The Saints haven’t done enough in the Premier League this season and their recent results are not worth remembering. They host Wolves, who thrashed Liverpool 3-0, next and with regards to their recent results, it’s unlikely they will beat Wolves.
I’d go for a tight victory for Wolves.
Thanks to Wolves’ current form, I don’t expect them to lose to Southampton.
