Southampton is full of confidence with their league form this weekend when they take on Wolves in the Premier League. The match schedules for Sunday afternoon at the St. Mary’s Stadium, with kickoff at 4 pm.
Last weekend, the Saints denied the defending Champions from a single shot on target to climb to 15th on the league standings. On the other hand, Wolves come off a disappointing EFL Cup exit after losing on penalties to Tottenham.
The Southampton team is still waiting for their first Premier League victory of the 2021-22 campaign, but they have suffered one defeat in five games.
In addition, the other four matches were played against Manchester United, Newcastle United and West Ham, and another Man City squad.
It didn’t end up with any results because those teams all had different outcomes from each other’s matches before facing off on Field Turf at St Mary’s Stadium.
The Wolves are off to a rough start in the Premier League, and it’s not going much better for them on Sunday as well.
Last week, the team was defeated 2-1 against Everton after losing 1-0 at home earlier this month following their penalty shootout loss with Spurs Hotspur Wednesday night. All three matches saw Bruno Lage’s new squad take an early lead. However, ultimately give away points late into injury time or extra time.
