Wolves to win

Southampton have lost 11 of their 13 home games in the Premier League this season.

Wolves make the trip to bottom-of-the-table Southampton on Saturday, looking to secure a massive three points in their bid to escape relegation from the Premier League.

Southampton vs Wolves prediction: Away win expected?

Key Stats

  • Wolves have picked up more points on the road this season than they have in their own backyard.
  • 69% of Southampton's home games in the league this season have produced over 2.5 goals.
  • Over 2.5 goals have been scored in 79% of Wolves away games in the 2024/25 Premier League campaign.

Correct score prediction: Southampton 1-2 Wolves

Wolves have only managed to keep clean sheets in 14% of their away games this season but with Southampton conceding an average of 2.85 goals per game at St Mary's, we're backing the visitors to claim a narrow 2-1 victory on Saturday despite being without their top scorer Matheus Cunha.

Pre-game odds and win probability: Odds stacked against the hosts

  • HOME: 29/10 (3.90) – 25.6%
  • DRAW: 13/5 (3.60) – 27.8%
  • AWAY: 11/10 (2.10) – 47.6%

*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change

Wolves are the expected winner of this game with a probability of 47.6%, and we can't argue with the bookmakers about this selection.

Southampton preview: Lost last five in league and cup

Southampton surprised many when they led Liverpool 1-0 heading into the half-time interval last weekend.

However, normal service was resumed in the second half as Liverpool scored three times to secure a 3-1 victory and condemn the Saints to a fifth straight defeat in all competitions.

James Bree, Jan Bednarek, Ryan Fraser, Ross Stewart and Juan Larios are all injury concerns for Ivan Juric this weekend.

Predicted lineup: Ramsdale (GK), Bella-Kotchap, Manning, Walker-Peters, Harwood-Bellis, Smallbone, Ugochukwu, Sulemana, Gronaek, Dibling & Fernandes

Wolves preview: Left frustrated by the Toffees

Wolves missed out on an opportunity to secure all three points last weekend when they played host to Everton.

The Toffees arrived in good form but didn't perform well on the night despite taking the lead in the 33rd minute. Wolves responded well to going behind and were back on level terms before the break, thanks to a goal from Marshall Munetsi. However, the hosts clearly missed their top scorer, Matheus Cunha, as they failed to carve out a winning goal in the second half and had to settle for a point in the end.

Cunha remains suspended for another three games, while Leon Chiwone, Yerson Mosquera, Enso Medina and Sasa Kalajdzic will all miss the trip to the south coast through injury.

Predicted lineup: Sa (GK), Doherty, Semedo, Ait-Nouri, Toti, Agbadou, Bellegarde, Munetsi, J. Gomes, Andre & Strand Larsen

Player to watch: Jorgen Strand-Larsen

Norwegian striker Jorgen Strand-Larsen has performed well in his debut season in the Premier League despite living in the shadow of the club's star player Cunha.

The former Celta Vigo forward has scored seven times in 26 Premier League appearances for a struggling Wolves side, which is no mean feat. However, in the absence of Cunha last weekend against Everton, Strand-Larsen failed to deliver the goods.

The pressure is on the Norwegian to score goals in Cunha's absence

On Saturday, the Norwegian international will face a much more generous defence when Wolves make the trip to Southampton, and the visitors really need a big performance from the 25-year-old.
