Wolves vs Southampton Prediction & Betting tips
The cup match between Wolverhampton Wanderers and Southampton is scheduled for Thursday evening in West Midlands. These two teams do not give each other an inch in the Premier League. In this game for the FA Cup, however, there will be a winner anyway!
Wolverhampton Wanderers:
Wolverhampton has won the FA Cup four times in the past. The Wolves succeeded in the years 1893, 1908, 1949 and 1960. At Wolverhampton they have been waiting for more than fifty years for new success in the English cup tournament. Wolverhampton can book that success again this season. The Wolves are already in the eighth finals of the tournament. With Southampton, Wolverhampton also meets an opponent with opportunities. Since 2007, the Wolves have also been unbeaten in the Molineux against The Saints.
Wolverhampton is two places below Thursday night’s opponent in the Premier League. Nuno Espírito Santo’s team has taken 27 points in 23 games. This puts Wolverhampton in fourteenth place. Compared to last season, that is a disappointing classification for the Wolves. Last weekend, Wolverhampton played a scoreless draw against Leicester City in the same Premier League at home. The list of injuries has grown significantly at Wolverhampton in recent weeks: Daniel Podence, Rayan Aït-Nouri, Willy Boly, Fernando Marçal and Raul Jiménez are all now in the rag basket.
Southampton:
At Southampton they are not waiting for the cup match with Wolverhampton. It has to do with the current form of The Saints. Southampton has lost the last four games it played and is currently in a slump. Ralph Hasenhüttl’s team has now dropped to twelfth place in the Premier League. Last season Southampton finished eleventh so we don’t have to pretend twelfth place is dramatic.
In recent weeks, Arsenal (1-3), Aston Villa (0-1), Manchester United (9-0) and Newcastle United (3-2) have all been too strong for Southampton. On Saturday afternoon, on a visit to Newcastle, Southampton had to concede three goals before half-time. It does indicate that The Saints are not feeling well at the moment. One explanation for Southampton’s poor results may be that it has to miss out on the necessary players due to injuries, but that will also be no different for Hasenhüttl in the coming weeks. By the way, Southampton will again take on Wolverhampton in the Premier League this weekend. Then the game will be played in St. Mary’s Stadium.
