Wolves V Southampton Preview

Wolves come into this match on the back of some patchy form. Their last 3 fixtures has seen a win, draw, and a loss.

Last time out, they lost 1-0 away to Leicester. Prior to that, they beat Crystal Palace 2-0 at home, which followed a disappointing 1--1 draw at home to Newcastle.

    Southampton on the other hand have been on a role. Their previous 3 matches has seen them collect a maximum 9 points.

    This is made up of home wins over Everton and Newcastle (both 2-0), and a 4-3 victory over Aston Villa, sandwiched in between.

    Wolves V Southampton Odds

    Southampton at better than 2/1 does look very appealing. The Saints have won 5 of their 8 matches so far this season, and another victory tonight would see them go 3rd.

    For Wolves, a win tonight would see them go level on points with the Saints. So you can see why the bookies have this down as such a tight affair.

    Onto the goals betting, and there is a huge disparity between the two sides. Wolves have scored 8 and conceded 9, while the Saints have scored 16 and conceded 12.

    This makes the over/under 2.5 goals market look a bit of a conundrum.

    From a Wolves perspective, under 2.5 looks a safe bet at 8/13. While from a Southampton perspective, over 2.5 goals is a decent looking 29/20.

    Which way do you go though?

    Personally, I can Wolves scoring tonight, and I think that Southampton also look good value to get on the score sheet- despite not having the injured Danny Ings.

    Wolves V Southampton Prediction 23/11/20

    With this in mind, my match prediction tonight is for both teams to score.

    The match has the look of 1-1 or 2-1 either way, and I think 19/20 is decent value here.

    Prediction - Both Teams To Score – Yes @ 19/20 with Betfair

    One caveat to this bet though is the availability of James Ward-Prowse.

    The midfielder has 3 goals and 1 assist to his name this season, and has been in excellent form, and is the set piece taker for Southampton.

    There is a slight doubt over his fitness, and I would maybe think twice about the bet if he is ruled out.

    That would mean no Ings and Ward-Prowse, and that would be enough to not just put me off the bet, but also Southampton.
