Southampton vs Wolves: Preview and Prediction

Saturday 13th April 2019

England Premier League
Saturday 13th April 2019
Kick off at 3pm BST
Venue: St Mary's Stadium

Match Preview:

Southampton have dropped to 17^th place after they lost 3-1 to Liverpool last weekend and they are just 5 points from the drop. This match against Wolves at the weekend will be far from easy but is a must win for The Saints.

In truth Southampton have shown good form latley winning 3 of their last 5 games and at home they have lost one game from their last 3. But a lack of consistency has meant that the club have not been able to push on and they shouldn’t be findng themselves in this position with just 6 games left to play.

Wolves have been a major success story this season but what type of effect will going out of the FA Cup have on the team? After all they were 2-0 up in the semi-final and still lost to Watford and it is a huge blow for the side.

Now they will fight for 7^th place but are under pressure from the likes of Leicester and Everton and this match away from home represents a diffciult game. Still, Wolves’ last game ended in a superb 2-1 win over Manchester United but away from home Wolves have gone 4 games without a win.

Team News:

Southampton: The Saints have some long term absentees (Mario Lemina and Michael Obafemi) but have no new injuries coming into this game

Wolves: The club have no new injuries coming into this game, as has been the case for most of the season.

Southampton vs Wolves Head to Head:

Wolves beat Southampton in the earlier reverse fixture 2-0.

The last 3 meetings have ended with the correct score of 2-0. Wolves with 2 wins and Southampton with one.

There is a 60% chance to see under 2.5 goals.

Southampton vs Wolves Prediction:

Wolves remain a dangerous side but they are not worth backing away from home. Their recent form has been too poor and there may just continue to be a fallout from the clubs FA Cup disappointment, however at least the FA Cup will no longer be a distraction to their League ambitions. Southampton continue to play well even when they lose games and they are not afraid to attack and they will do so in this game. Wolves have only kept one clean sheet from their last five games despite being much higher than Southampton in the league and we think given current form the choice to go for here is a home win but with the draw covered for extra safety.
