Wolves v Southampton

Wolves vs Southampton Preview

Wolves picked up another useful point in last weekend's 2-2 draw at home against fellow Premier League strugglers Crystal Palace but nevertheless, Wolves are still looking to pick up their first win of this new season's top flight campaign, while Southampton achieved their first victory of the season with a 1-0 home win against Everton last Saturday.

Back-to-back 2-2 draws with Brighton and Crystal Palace have taken Wolves' points tally to three now but the west midlands club still remain bottom of the Premier League table where they now trail fourth from bottom club Crystal Palace and safety by a four-point margin.

Wolves have now failed to win any of their last 13 league matches in the English top flight which includes being handed no fewer than 10 defeats within this woeful period of results and another loss at home to relegation rivals Southampton could spell the end of the line for Wolves boss, Gary O'Neil.

Needless to say the straight win markets should be avoided at all cost here, but the goals market looks highly promising, especially the both teams to score option as no fewer than 11 of Wolves' last 13 matches overall in the Premier League have resulted in both teams scoring - and 10 of these results have also seen Over 2.5 goals scored as well.

Southampton finally got themselves off the mark in the win column in the English top flight last weekend when The Saints picked up all three points courtesy of a 1-0 home win against Everton at St Mary's Stadium.

That desperately needed victory lifted the south coast club off the bottom of the table and up into second from bottom place but nevertheless, Russell Martin's side still occupy one of the relegation spots in the division ahead of this upcoming trip to the west midlands on Saturday afternoon.

The visitors had previously stumbled to nine league games without a win at the start of this new campaign and having been handed no fewer than eight defeats within this period as well, it comes as no surprise to find The Saints wallowing in the lower reaches of the Premier League table.

An overall record of just one win, one draw but also eight defeats suggest Southampton are a long way off from being out of the woods in terms of possible relegation though and this upcoming trip to Molineux looks to be fraught with danger especially as the bigger picture shows Saints have collected just one win from their last 23 matches in the domestic top flight overall.

Wolves v Southampton Verdict

Three of the last five meetings between Wolves and Southampton have not only resulted in both teams scoring but have also produced three goals or more, so the goals market appeals here.
