Recent respective form guides

Wolverhampton Wanderers have only performed averagely at home, winning 3 and losing 2 of their last six. The Wolves's have scored 7 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 8.

The away form of Southampton is pretty dire, accumulating just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While the Saints have hit 7 goals, 11 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Wolves's total of 66 points from their 39 games sees them sitting in the playoff places in Coca-Cola Championship. Southampton lie just outside the playoff positions in the Coca-Cola Championship, picking up 60 from their 39 games so far.
