Both Southampton and Wolverhampton Wanderers have not had positive results lately and will each be hoping to bag the three points on offer when they face off on Sunday. Southampton, the hosts, go to the game placed 12th with 29 points and Wolves 14th with 27 points. This game comes right after the two faced off in the FA Cup at the Molineux, with Southampton winning 2-0. That win snapped a four-game losing streak for Southampton and also offered them a first clean sheet in five matches. The two goals scored took the Saints’ tally to four goals in the last two matches. This form, Southampton needs to carry in the league, where they have five straight losses, and just one win in the last 10. While much hasn’t been going their way lately, Southampton have tightened defensively at home. They’ve conceded more than a goal in just one of their last six league matches at St. Mary’s. In their last 10 league matches at home, Southampton have managed five wins and six clean sheets. Four of their last five home matches in the league have ended in under 2.5 goals.

Wolverhampton, just like Southampton, have one win in their last five matches and will be keen to avoid a second straight loss to Southampton after their FA Cup clash. Manager Nuno Espirito Santo is expected to field a much stronger team after resting a number of key players. Their only win in the last five matches was against Arsenal and it heavily relied on controversial refereeing decisions. In the league, that is their only win in 10 matches. Five of Wolves’ last six matches have produced under 2.5 goals and in the Premier League they have scored the least goals (23) among the top 16 sides. In the last 15 matches, Wolves have four wins only and heading to this game they have no goal in three of the last four. Wolves are winless in their last six league matches played away from home and failed to score in four of the six.
