Southampton are winless in back-to-back games in the Premier League and go into Saturday’s home fixture against Wolverhampton Wanderers at the bottom of the table.
The Saints are four points from safety and could take a step toward survival with a win over Wolverhampton Wanderers this weekend. Wolves are fresh off a 3-0 home win over Liverpool. Julen Lopetegui’s new-look Wolves are unbeaten in four of their last six league games.
Finish, Jonny ??

Wolverhampton Wanderers are on a four-game win streak against Southampton in all competitions. The reverse fixture between these sides ended 1-0 in favour of Wolves at Molineux. Daniel Podence’s first-half goal was enough to see the Old Gold to win.
Southampton lost eight of their last nine games in the Premier League. Manager Nathan Jones hasn’t been able to turn the side around and is now in danger of being sacked.
The Saints took just three points from their last six games. They scored four goals and conceded 11 times in the previous six games. Southampton are the worst Premier League team in terms of home points. They are on a four-game losing streak at St Mary’s Stadium.
Wolves picked up 10 points from their last six matches in the division. They are still struggling for goals with just seven tallied in the last six games. However, three of those seven goals were scored against Liverpool a week ago.
Wolverhampton Wanderers are not a good away team. They have a record of 1W-3D-6L on the road this season in the league.
However, Lopetegui led Wolves to three games unbeaten in their last four away fixtures.
Loptegeui has six players on the injury list ahead of the match. Sasa Kalajdzic is ruled out with a knee injury. Chiquinho is out with a knee injury, Pedro Neto has an ankle problem, and Boubacar Traore has a groin strain. Hee-Chan Hwang will sit out with a thigh strain, while Mario Lemina could be fit.
Jones is without Juan Larios and Valentino Livramento. He is also likely to be without Kyle Walker-Peters, Stuart Armstrong, and Alex McCarthy, who are all nursing injuries.
Wolverhampton Wanderers are on a four-game win streak versus Southampton. The Old Gold are turning their season around and should post a victory at St Mary’s Stadium this weekend. The Old Gold should win 1-0 away.
The league has seen 29% of games finish as away wins this season. Wolves should pick up a victory and put some distance between themselves and the bottom three.
