Southampton Preview: A Fight for Pride
Southampton, led by Ivan Juric, suffered a 3-1 defeat to Liverpool last weekend despite taking the lead through Will Smallbone. Their season has been a struggle, with just nine points accumulated, dangerously close to Derby County’s record-low Premier League points tally.
With defensive vulnerabilities and a lack of firepower upfront, the Saints will need a miracle to salvage something from this match.
Southampton Team News: Key Absences
Southampton will be without Jan Bednarek due to concussion protocols, while James Bree and Ryan Fraser remain doubtful. Juan Larios and Ross Stewart continue to work on regaining fitness.
Predicted Lineup (4-2-3-1):
Ramsdale; Walker-Peters, Bella-Kotchap, Harwood-Bellis, Manning; Ugochukwu, Downes; Dibling, Fernandes, Sulemana; Gronbaek
Unavailable: Bednarek (Concussion), Smallbone (Injury)
Doubtful: Bree (Injury), Larios (Fitness), Fraser (Injury), Stewart (Fitness)
Wolves Preview: Pereira’s Tactical Impact
Since Vitor Pereira’s arrival, Wolves have steadily improved, building a six-point gap from the relegation zone. A 1-1 draw against Everton last week saw Marshall Munetsi score his first goal for the club.
Without suspended Matheus Cunha, Wolves may struggle for creativity, but their defensive organization under Pereira has been solid.
Wolves Team News: Cunha Suspended
Matheus Cunha remains suspended, while Mosquera, Chiwone, and Gonzalez are injured. However, Munetsi is fit to play, providing a much-needed boost.
Predicted Lineup (3-4-2-1):
Sa; Doherty, Agbadou, Toti; Semedo, J. Gomes, Andre, Ait-Nouri; Munetsi, Bellegarde; Strand Larsen
Unavailable: Mosquera (Injury), Chiwone (Injury), Gonzalez (Injury), Cunha (Suspended), Kalajdzic (Injury)
Match Prediction: Southampton vs Wolves
Southampton have shown occasional resilience under Juric, but their best performances have come away from home. Wolves, despite missing Cunha, have been solid under Pereira.
Wolves are slight favorites, but this could be a low-scoring affair.
Prediction: Wolves to win & under 3.5 goals
