Southampton vs Wolves prediction: ENGLAND: Premier League betting tips on match 2025-03-14 15:00.
[p]Despite producing a spirited performance at Anfield which saw them take a shock lead into half-time, Southampton were eventually pegged back against title-chasing Liverpool, who ran out 3-1 winners. Not only will that have deflated the Saints further, but it also acted as their fourth Premier League defeat in succession as relegation back to the Championship nears its inevitable confirmation. [/p]
[p]For the rest of the season, they’ll be playing for pride and the need as a club to avoid recording the lowest Premier League points total in the competition’s history. That record is currently held by Derby during the 2007/08 season (11), a tally two greater than Southampton’s total of nine so far (W2, D3, L23) which they’ll be hoping to leapfrog with a first win in five attempts on home soil in this H2H (L4). [/p]
[p]Visitors Wolves are themselves locked in a relegation dogfight heading into the later stages of this campaign. They begin this latest matchday sat in 17th and six points ahead of the drop zone, though manager VĂtor Pereira will be extremely keen to add to that gap this weekend and see his side improve on their return of just one win across their last four league matches (D1, L2). [/p]
[p]A good omen could come from the fact that the sole victory in that run also came on the South coast when they beat Bournemouth 1-0 in February. The away supporters will crave a repeat performance in order to further improve their six-match winning league streak over the Saints, one that’s already their longest in the top-flight since between 1974 and 2018 against Burnley (seven).[/p]
[p]Players to watch: Southampton’s Cameron Archer may have only scored two league goals this season, but he netted on his only prior personal home H2H last season. Marshall Munetsi scored his first goal for Wolves last time out, and the Old Gold will be hoping for more here as he has never lost when he’s found the back of the net since he moved to Europe (W15, D6).  [/p]
[p]Hot stat: Wolves’ Premier League away games have averaged 1.93 first-half goals this season – a league-high figure pre-round. [/p]
