Southampton FC prepare to host Wolverhampton Wanderers

As Southampton prepare to host Wolverhampton Wanderers, recent performances suggest a challenging encounter for the home side. Southampton have struggled to gather points, managing just 3 from their last 5 games. Goal scoring has also been an issue, with Southampton failing to net in two of their recent matches and scoring just 4 goals across those 5 encounters. Despite this, their matches have been high-scoring, with the last 10 featuring 3 or more goals consistently.

Meanwhile, Wolverhampton Wanderers arrive in slightly better form, having accumulated 7 points in their last 5 outings. Notably, Wolves have been consistent in finding the back of the net, scoring in each of their recent fixtures. They’ve managed 6 goals in these matches, indicating a likelihood of continuing their scoring streak.

Head-to-head, Wolverhampton Wanderers have dominated this matchup historically, winning 11 of the last 15 encounters. Their away form this season has been slightly more promising than Southampton’s home record, suggesting they could have the upper hand. Both teams have seen their games often end with both teams scoring, underscoring the potential for an open contest.

Based on these factors, while Southampton might find room to score, Wolverhampton Wanderers appear better placed to edge out a victory, capitalising on their superior head-to-head record and recent form. A potential outcome could see both teams finding the net in a game that edges towards the visitors.
