TEAMS PREVIEW

Southampton FC Preview

In yet another blow to their turbulent season, Southampton slumped to their 23rd defeat, falling 3-1 to league leaders Liverpool. While the loss adds to their struggles, the Saints can take solace in breaching one of the league’s toughest defenses that they scored the first goal—a small victory in an otherwise difficult campaign.  Southampton’s woes show no sign of easing, having picked up just four points from their last seven games against bottom-table sides. With form like this, their struggles are set to continue.

Key Stats

1. Southampton are without a win in their last six Premier League matches at home, with them losing all of them.
2. In the ongoing wretched home run, the Saints’ have conceded 21 goals while scoring just two.
3.. Joe Aribo is Southampton’s top scorer in the league with 3 goals.
4.. Southampton’s last home win against the Wolves came back in 2019

Wolverhampton Wanderers FC Preview

Despite the pressure of a looming relegation battle, Wolves faced a huge test last weekend, entering the pitch without their talisman Matheus Cunha against an ever-improving Everton. Yet, they showed resilience, battling back from a goal down to secure a hard-fought draw. Surprisingly, Wolves managed an xG of 1.12 against one of the league’s best defenses—an impressive feat, especially without Cunha leading the line.

 Sitting 17th, just six points above the relegation zone, Vítor Pereira’s side has a golden chance to create breathing room with upcoming clashes against Southampton, Ipswich, and West Ham—fixtures that could turn their survival fight in their favor.

Key Stats 

1. The Wolves recorded just one win in their last five away games in the Premier League.
2. The Wolves scored at least one goal in each of their last five games.
3. Wolverhampton has scored 22% of their goals between the period of 76-90.
4. Matheus Cunha is Wolves’ top scorer this season with 13 goals.
