There's been ups and downs for these two teams so far this season, occupying positions near the middle of the Premier League table so far. Here's the Southampton - Wolverhampton Wanderers latest:
Wolverhampton Wanderers could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a FA Cup game only three sleeps ago. That game, against Manchester United, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Southampton form and stats
The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Premier League this season. Southampton have only managed 3 wins, 2 draws and 6 losses from their games here at St. Mary's Stadium.
Happy days for Southampton in their previous game, a Premier League match away at Leicester City (placed 3rd) that ended with a 2-1 victory. Before that game, the 2-0 home victory against Huddersfield Town.
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Southampton have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found four matches with the results: Won 1 Drawn 2 Lost 1.
There will be little rest for Southampton after this match as they are travelling to Crystal Palace for a Premier League game in only three days.
The Southampton fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 11 in 11 matches. Southampton are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (25 from 11 played).
Wolverhampton Wanderers form and stats
As the visiting team in Premier League matches, Wolverhampton Wanderers have produced an overall stat of 3-5-3 so far. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Wolverhampton Wanderers are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.
It might be tough going out on the road again for Wolverhampton Wanderers, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-1 versus Manchester United (placed 5th). A 1-1 draw was the result before that, hosting Newcastle United in the Premier League.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Wolverhampton Wanderers playing away and similar expectations, we found six relevant matches. Results were 2 Wolverhampton Wanderers wins, 3 draws and 1 defeat.
Wolverhampton Wanderers find the net in their away games, although not all the time. 14 goals from 11 away fixtures in the league. As opposed to that, Wolverhampton Wanderers have seen the ball go into their own net 13 times on the road.
