Southampton vs Wolverhampton Predictions

• Wolves have scored just 15 goals in 21 games and have just six in 10 away from home in the league.
• Southampton have only scored 17 times in their 21 league games.
• Wolves are the team in better form, and they claimed a morale boosting 3-0 win over Liverpool last time out.

Struggling pair meet at St Mary’s

There is a relegation six-pointer taking place at St Mary’s on Saturday as rock bottom Southampton entertain a Wolves side who sit just two points above the drop zone themselves.

Saints claimed a much-needed 2-1 win over Everton not too long ago but have suffered back-to-back defeats since, while Wolves should go into Saturday’s game full of confidence after a 3-0 thumping of Liverpool in their last outing.

Goals likely to be at a premium

Southampton boss Nathn Jones is already under real pressure and Saturday’s fixture may be a must-win game if he is to remain in charge.

One of his main concerns will be getting his team firing as Saints have failed to score in three of their last five games and they are the one of the league’s lowest scorers, managing just 17 goals in 21 games.

Wolves have the worst attack in the top flight with just 15 goals and they have managed just six in 10 games away from home.

As such, this could well be a low-scoring affair and under 2.5 goals looks a good option for the main bet – despite the fact both sides have woeful defensive records.

Wolves may have the edge

Wolves have managed just one away win in 10 attempts this season in the league so they can’t really be backed to win with any real confidence.

However, the visitors should be boosted by that victory over Liverpool and they are the team in the better form with two wins and just one loss in their last four league games. If either side is to triumph in this clash it seems more likely that it will be the visitors, so a 1-0 win for Wolves stands out as a correct score prediction.
