Southampton (5-3-2): Aaron Ramsdale – Jan Bednarek, Ryan Manning, Taylor Harwood-Bellis, Kyle Walker-Peters, Jack Stephens – Flynn Downes, Adam Lallana, Mateusz Fernandes – Cameron Archer, Adam Armstrong. The starting line-ups for each team are from their last match in this tournament. Wolverhampton Wanderers After the previous round, the club dropped to the bottom of the league table. Gary O'Neil's charges drew 2-2 with Brighton and Crystal Palace in their last two matches. Prior to that, the team suffered five consecutive defeats in the league. Wolverhampton is only three points behind the safe 17th place. It is worth noting that the club scored in all nine of their previous Premier League matches this season. At the same time, the team's defense is the worst in the league (27 goals conceded). The following players are in the club's infirmary: defenders Bastien Mepieu and Yerson Mosquera, midfielder Boubacar Traore, forwards Sasa Kalajdzic and Enzo Gonzalez. - The club has a 13-match winless streak in the Premier League (3 draws and 10 defeats). - Both teams have scored in Wolverhampton's last nine Premier League matches. - At least three goals have been scored in the club's last seven league games. Southampton Only in the last round did the team secure their first win after returning to the Premier League. Playing at home, Russell Martin's side beat Everton 1-0. Before this, the club had not won in 22 Premier League matches (5 draws and 17 defeats). Southampton changed places with Wolverhampton in the relegation zone but leads their opponent by just one point. Midfielders Adam Lallana and William Smallbone, goalkeeper Gavin Bazunu, and forward Ross Stewart will miss the match due to injuries. - Before the victory over Everton, the club had conceded in 21 consecutive league matches. - Southampton has an 8-match losing streak away in the Premier League. - The team conceded at least two goals in 7 of their last 9 away Premier League matches. Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Southampton: match prediction In the upcoming match, I favor the hosts. Gary O'Neil's men are getting closer to their first victory in the current Premier League campaign. The team has been unlucky this season, which is evident not only in the results but also in the gameplay they demonstrate even against the leaders. Southampton is performing very poorly on the road, where they haven't won in 12 league encounters (2 draws and 10 defeats). I note that Southampton is a favorable opponent for the hosts of this encounter. In the last eight head-to-head Premier League meetings, Wolverhampton secured 6 victories, and there were two draws. Moreover, in the previous five direct Premier League confrontations, it was exclusively Wolverhampton players who emerged victorious. My prediction is a "Wolverhampton Wanderers Victory" with odds of 1.97(ru); 1.97(kk); 1.97(by); 1.97(tj). Author: Oleksandr Oleksenko

Betting tips 9 Nov 2024
This is a crucial clash. It might not be the most enjoyable to watch, with likely numerous errors, but it promises to be thrilling nonetheless.
Wolverhampton are unbeaten in their last two games, but they've both been draws. The first was a miraculous 2:2 result, thanks to an error by a Brighton player during an attacking move. The second was a missed opportunity for a win, ending 2:2 against Crystal Palace, despite the London side holding the upper hand with 19 shots to Wolverhampton' 11. In fact, Crystal Palace seemed closer to victory, with 2.51 xG against 1.53. Not to forget, Wolverhampton conceded an equaliser in the 98th minute against Manchester City the previous month (2:1). They do concede a lot — 27 goals, although their xGA is 19.57. Without those seven excess goals, Wolverhampton could have had a couple of wins.
Southampton managed their first Premier League win since returning, defeating Everton (1:0) in the last round — not a surprising feat given Everton’s ability to underperform against any opponent, despite hints of a positive run. This victory allowed Southampton to rise to 19th place, but they need a win against Wolverhampton and hope for a resounding Crystal Palace defeat to move out of the relegation zone. On the road, they have yet to taste victory. Their only away win came in the League Cup against Cardiff City from the Championship, the team that was struggling back in August (5:3).
We don’t see a clear winner here, even though bookmakers favour the home team. Both sides continue to have defensive issues, so we'd expect at least three goals.
