Wolves vs Southampton Premier League Match Preview or Key Statistics 📊
Wolves have lost just one of their last eight league meetings with Southampton (W4 D3), going down 1-3 at St Mary’s in April 2019.
Southampton haven’t won any of their last four away league games against Wolves (D2 L2), since a 6-0 win at Molineux in the Championship in March 2007.
Wolves are yet to score more than twice in a Premier League match so far this season, with bottom two sides Burnley and Sheffield United the only other sides yet to do so.
Wolves have kept more Premier League clean sheets than any other side so far in 2020 (13). However, they’ve only won two of their 13 games in which they’ve conceded so far this calendar year (D3 L8), winning none of their five at home (D2 L3).
Southampton are looking to win four consecutive Premier League games for the first time since May 2016. Indeed, only Tottenham (7) are on a longer current unbeaten run in the top-flight than Saints (6).
Only Burnley’s Premier League games have seen fewer goals (15) than Wolves’ so far this season (17), with Wolves having scored eight and conceded nine in their eight games so far.
No side has scored more first-half goals in the Premier League this season than Southampton, with Saints’ 10 goals before half-time more than opponents Wolves in total so far this term (8).
Since their promotion to the Premier League in 2018, only Mohamed Salah (17) has scored more winning goals in the competition than Wolves’ Raúl Jiménez (14).
Southampton’s Theo Walcott made his senior club debut as a 16-year-old against Wolves back in August 2005. He’s waiting for his first Saints goal since November 2005 (vs Luton), but has assisted two goals in his three Premier League games since returning to the club.
Southampton’s Che Adams has scored three goals in his last four Premier League games, just one fewer than he’d netted in his first 34 appearances in the competition (4).
