Wolves are in good shape heading into the weekend after following up their win away to Manchester United with a comfortable 3-0 win over Sheffield United in the FA Cup at the weekend. They scored as many goals against the Blades as their previous nine matches combined (3). Southampton are unbeaten in their last five and have managed to keep that streak alive despite early red cards in matches against Tottenham and Swansea. They will be high on confidence after smashing Brentford 4-1 on Tuesday night. The last two Premier League meetings between the sides at Molineux have ended 1-1 and a repeat scoreline is plausible given the form of both teams. 1:1
There have been under 2.5 goals scored in Wolves's last 9 games (Premier League). Southampton have conceded at least 2 goals in 13 of their last 15 away matches (Premier League). Wolves have kept a clean sheet in 6 of their last 8 matches (Premier League). There have been over 2.5 goals scored in Southampton's last 5 away games (Premier League). Wolves have failed to score in their last 3 home matches (Premier League). Wolves have seen under 2.5 goals in their last 4 home matches against Southampton in all competitions.
Romain Saiss is now at AFCON and will be a huge miss at the back for Wolves this month. Willy Boly is also at the tournament in a double blow for Bruno Lage's side. Marcal tucked inside as the third centre-back in Saiss' absence in the third round of the cup but Leander Dendoncker is perhaps more likely to play there this weekend. Daniel Podence scored twice in the cup win and should keep his place in the side with Adama Traore once again forced to settle for the bench. Ralph Hasenhuttl may stick with a back three on Saturday after thumping Brentford 4-1 on Tuesday night. Southampton were forced to change shape with Kyle Walker-Peters missing with COVID and Yan Valery suspended. Valery is back from his ban and there is an outside chance Walker-Peters could return too but Hasenhuttl is expected to stick with the same formation given its success in midweek. A head injury forced Armando Broja off against Brentford and Che Adams may take his place in the XI after scoring from the bench on Tuesday. Adam Armstrong, Stuart Armstrong and Jack Stephens are all options to start if Hasenhuttl wants fresh legs.
