Wolves vs Southampton Preview
- Tournament: Premier League
- Date: Saturday, November 9, 2024
- Time: 3:00 pm GMT
- Venue: Molineux Stadium
Wolves will host Southampton at the Molineux Stadium in the Premier League on Saturday, November 9. It will be a battle of the bottom two as they look to finally get going this season.
Wolves finished 14th in the Premier League table last season and were impressive under Gary O’Neil. However, it has completely turned around this season as they sit at the bottom of the table with no wins after 10 games. They have managed three draws and seven defeats. They will need a major upturn in form if they are to get out of the relegation zone.
Southampton, meanwhile, arrived in the Premier League this season after promotion from the EFL Championship. They have also had a poor start to the campaign and sit 19th with four points. They have eight defeats, one draw, and just one win in 10 league games so far.
However, that win came in their last match itself and they will look to take confidence from that against a fellow relegation candidate.

Key Players to watch in Wolves vs Southampton
Jorgen Strand Larsen
Jorgen Strand Larsen is currently on loan at Wolves from Spanish side Celta Vigo. The Norwegian striker has been one of the bright sparks in an otherwise disappointing 2024-25 campaign for Wolves so far.
Larsen had scored four goals and provided two assists in 11 games across competitions and is the club’s top scorer. Moreover, his general performances have also been promising with his ability to take the ball down and bring his winger into the play. He will be keen to do so against Southampton as well.
Cameron Archer
Cameron Archer joined Southampton in the summer from Aston Villa after numerous loan spells. He was with Sheffield United last season and scored four goals across competitions as they were relegated from the Premier League.
However, Archer has already matched that tally this season with Southampton, with two goals in the league and two in the EFL Cup. He is their top scorer in the league and will look to add to his tally on Saturday.
Wolves vs Southampton Prediction
Both sides desperately need a win, as they find themselves at the bottom of the Premier League table. Wolves have yet to win a match but have shown some promising performances in their recent games. After a narrow defeat against Manchester City, they drew 2-2 against Brighton & Hove Albion before drawing 2-2 against Crystal Palace in their last match.
Southampton, meanwhile, have also managed two wins in their last two games across competitions. They beat Stoke City 3-2 in the EFL Cup Round of 16 before beating Everton 1-0 in the Premier League last time out.
Hence, both sides will have taken confidence from their recent performances. Both sides have multiple injury issues but the Wolves squad still arguably has more quality and experience. They should be able to finally get their first win of the season, albeit marginally.
Predicted Score: 2-1
