On March 15, 2025, St. Mary's Stadium in Southampton will host the 29th round match of the English Premier League between local Southampton and Wolverhampton. I propose a bet on one of the teams.
Preview
Southampton's last home victory in the EPL dates back to the 10th round when the team defeated Everton. Since then, the Saints have played 8 matches at their home ground and lost every single one. Particularly disheartening is the goal difference in these encounters — 5:28.
Southampton remains the worst team in the league by all key metrics. Interestingly, the team managed to earn one more point away than at their home St. Mary's. Fans at their stadium witnessed only 9 goals by Southampton throughout the championship — a result that's hard to accept even for an underdog. Meanwhile, away fans had plenty to see — Southampton conceded 37 goals at home, making their defense the worst in the league for home games.
The Wolves occupy the 17th place, being 6 points away from the relegation zone. Wolverhampton is practically the only team that could still find itself in the relegation battle. West Ham, sitting just above them, is already 10 points ahead.
However, among the rivals are recent Championship graduates who have yet to prove their mettle in the Premier League. Leicester, Ipswich, and especially Southampton have not shown how they can secure a long-term spot in the elite during the season.
Wolverhampton, however, also has its share of problems. The season's best player, Brazilian Cunha, continues to serve a 4-match suspension after his second dismissal of the season. His absence could seriously affect the team's scoring ability, as he has 13 goals and 4 assists to his name.
Possible lineups
- Southampton: Ramsdale, Manning, Harwood-Bellis, Bella-Kotchap, Walker-Peters, Smallbone, Ugochukwu, Dibling, Sulemana, Fernandes, Archer
- Wolverhampton: Sa, Doherty, Agbadu, Toti, Semedo, Ait Nouri, Andre, Joao Gomes, Manetzi, Bellegarde, Larsen
Match facts and H2H
- In four out of the last six home league matches, Southampton failed to score a single goal.
- Meanwhile, Wolverhampton shows consistency in attack away — in their last five away matches, the team consistently scored goals.
- The Wolves' scoring statistics in away matches are even better than at home: 20 goals scored versus 18.
- In the first-round head-to-head match, Wolverhampton confidently defeated Southampton, winning 2-0.
- The last 6 matches between these teams have consistently ended in victories for Wolverhampton.
Prediction
Based on the head-to-head statistics, tournament motivation, and Southampton's dreadful home form, the favorite in this match is clear. Bet on the visitors to win with odds of 2.07.
