Southampton vs Wolverhampton Prediction and Analysis: The Away Team Will Turn the Tables Around.
The match between Southampton and Wolverhampton in the English Premier League will take place at 9:00 PM on March 15th. Nghe An Newspaper analyzes the form, provides football commentary, and predicts the score.
Southampton have virtually accepted their relegation from the Premier League, but they could still try to drag Wolverhampton Wanderers into a fight for survival in Saturday's match at St Mary's.
Ivan Jurić's team is still unable to reach 10 points after their 1-3 defeat to Liverpool last weekend, while the visitors just drew 1-1 with Everton in round 28.
Latest team news for Southampton vs Wolverhampton
Southampton's central defender Jan Bednarek continued his bad luck when, having just recovered from fitness issues and being fit to play at Anfield, he was forced to leave the pitch after only 19 minutes due to a head injury.
However, manager Ivan Jurić confirmed that Bednarek only needs to follow a six-day recovery process and will be fit to play against Wolves. Nevertheless, he praised Armel Bella-Kotchap's performance and may prioritize using the 23-year-old center-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 squad remains largely unchanged from last weekend.
On the Wolves side, manager Vítor Pereira had to substitute Marshall Munetsi at half-time against Everton after the midfielder "felt a problem". However, Munetsi's condition is not too serious, as evidenced by his inclusion in the Zimbabwe national team for the upcoming international matches.
However, if Munetsi needs replacing, Wolves have no shortage of options, with Hwang Hee-chan, Gonçalo Guedes, Pablo Sarabia, and Rodrigo Gomes all capable of filling the role. Meanwhile, Matheus Cunha will continue serving his second of three-match suspensions.
As usual, Wolves will be without four players sidelined with long-term injuries: Sasa Kalajdzic, Leon Chiwone, Yerson Mosquera, and Enso González, all suffering from knee problems.
Latest predicted lineups for 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 match prediction: Southampton vs Wolverhampton
The biggest shock at Anfield nearly happened last weekend, when in the clash between league leaders Liverpool and bottom-placed Southampton, midfielder Will Smallbone unexpectedly opened the scoring after a series of disastrous errors from the home team's defense.
Ivan Jurić's team put up a valiant first half, taking advantage of Liverpool's slow start. However, as expected, the future champions turned the tables in the second half, with Darwin Núñez equalizing before Mohamed Salah scored a brace from the penalty spot to secure the victory for the Anfield side.
Despite the encouraging performance at Anfield, the fighting spirit wasn't enough to improve Southampton's position in the league table. They currently sit bottom of the table, 14 points behind safety, and are closer to their worst season in Premier League history.
If Southampton fail to secure at least one more win or two more draws between now and the end of the season, they will break Derby County's dismal record for the lowest points total in Premier League history (11 points in the 2007-08 season). Even more worrying, their home record is also extremely poor.
Southampton have lost eight consecutive Premier League matches at St Mary's and risk becoming only the fourth team in the league's history to lose nine consecutive home games. Ironically, Wolves were one of three teams to suffer this fate in the 2011-12 season.
Wolves themselves don't have many fond memories of that season, as they finished bottom of the table. Thirteen years later, the West Midlands team is 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).
The 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 few disappointing results could push Wolves into the relegation zone at any moment.
Whether or not Matheus Cunha is in attack, Wolves have maintained their attacking threat. They have scored in seven consecutive matches across all competitions and have found the net 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 them to six consecutive Premier League matches – their longest winning streak against a single opponent in the league's history.
