Comments and predictions for Southampton vs Wolverhampton: The away team makes a comeback
The match between Southampton vs Wolverhampton in the Premier League takes place at 9:00 p.m. on March 15. Nghe An Newspaper analyzes performance, makes football comments and predicts the score.
Southampton have all but accepted their fate of relegation from the Premier League, but they can still try to drag Wolverhampton Wanderers into the relegation battle with them when they play St Mary's on Saturday.
Ivan Jurić's team still cannot reach the 10-point mark after a 1-3 defeat to Liverpool last weekend, while the visitors just held Everton to a 1-1 draw in round 28.
Latest Southampton vs Wolverhampton team information
Southampton centre-back Jan Bednarek continued his bad luck when he had just recovered his fitness to play at Anfield but had to leave the field after just 19 minutes due to a head injury.
However, coach Ivan Jurić confirmed that Bednarek only needs to follow a six-day recovery process and will be fit to play against Wolves. However, he also praised the performance of Armel Bella-Kotchap and could favour the 23-year-old centre-back if he wants to be more cautious with Bednarek.
James Bree (thigh), Ryan Fraser (calf), Ross Stewart and Juan Larios (fitness) are still unavailable, but Southampton's line-up is largely unchanged from last weekend.
On the Wolves side, coach Vítor Pereira had to withdraw Marshall Munetsi from the field right at half-time against Everton after the midfielder "felt a problem". However, Munetsi's condition is not too serious, as evidenced by his call-up to the Zimbabwe squad for the upcoming internationals.
However, if a replacement for Munetsi is needed, Wolves have no shortage of options, with Hwang Hee-chan, Gonçalo Guedes, Pablo Sarabia and Rodrigo Gomes all capable of taking on the role. Meanwhile, Matheus Cunha will continue to serve the second of his three-match suspension.
As usual, Wolves are still without four long-term injured players including Sasa Kalajdzic, Leon Chiwone, Yerson Mosquera and Enso González, all with knee problems.
Latest expected lineup Southampton vs Wolverhampton
Southampton:
Ramsdale; Walker-Peters, Harwood-Bellis, Bella-Kotchap, Manning; Ugochukwu, Smallbone; Dibling, Fernandes, Sulemana; Onuachu
Wolverhampton Wanderers:
Sa; Doherty, Toti, Agbadou; Semedo, Andre, Gomes, Ait-Nouri; Munetsi, Bellegarde; Larsen
Latest football commentary Southampton vs Wolverhampton
The biggest shock at Anfield almost happened last weekend, when in the confrontation between top team Liverpool and bottom team Southampton, midfielder Will Smallbone unexpectedly opened the scoring after a series of disastrous mistakes by the home team's defense.
Ivan Jurić's side had a brave first half, capitalising on Liverpool's slow start. However, the future champions inevitably turned things around in the second half, with Darwin Núñez equalising before Mohamed Salah scored twice from the penalty spot to seal victory for the Anfield side.
Despite the encouraging performance at Anfield, Southampton’s spirit has not helped them improve their position in the table, currently bottom of the table and 14 points adrift of safety, edging closer to their worst season in Premier League history.
If Southampton fail to win at least one more game or draw two more games between now and the end of the season, they will break Derby County's record for the lowest points tally in Premier League history (11 points in 2007-08). More worryingly, their home form is also extremely poor.
Southampton have lost eight consecutive Premier League games at St Mary's and are in danger of becoming only the fourth team in the competition's history to lose nine consecutive home games. Ironically, Wolves were one of three teams to suffer the same fate in 2011-12.
Wolves themselves don't have many fond memories of that season, finishing bottom of the table. Thirteen years on, the West Midlands club are still in a tough relegation battle, having only managed a draw against Everton last weekend.
Jack Harrison opened the scoring in the 31st minute, but Marshall Munetsi quickly equalized with his first Premier League goal, helping Wolves end a run of two consecutive defeats against Fulham and Bournemouth (FA Cup).
Their first draw of 2025 keeps Vítor Pereira's side safe in 17th place. However, with Ipswich Town and Leicester City just six points behind, a couple of poor results could see Wolves drop into the relegation zone at any time.
With or without Matheus Cunha in attack, Wolves remain a threat in the goalscoring department, having found the back of the net in seven consecutive games in all competitions and scoring in nine of their last ten away games.
Under former managers Russell Martin and Gary O'Neil, Wolves beat Southampton 2-0 in November, extending their winning streak against the club to six consecutive Premier League games – their longest winning streak against a single opponent in the competition's history.
