Southampton Faces Relegation Threat Against Wolverhampton This Saturday

SOUTHAMPTON, England – Southampton, currently at the bottom of the Premier League, is set to clash with Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday, March 15, 2025, at St. Mary’s Stadium. The match begins at 3 p.m. local time (10 a.m. ET).

Holding a mere nine points, Southampton is seeking to reverse a dismal season against a Wolves side that has recently shown signs of improvement, creating a stark contrast between the teams. Wolves are six points clear of relegation and look to solidify their place in the league.

In their last fixture, Southampton suffered a 3-1 defeat against league leaders Liverpool, marking their latest setback. “There’s a need for urgency and determination,” said Southampton manager Ivan Jurić. “Every match counts at this stage.” Southampton will be without defender Jan Bednarek due to concussion protocols, leaving a gap in their defense.

Wolverhampton, led by manager Vítor Pereira, is coming off a 1-1 draw with Everton, where Marshall Munetsi found the net for Wolves to level the score. “We’re hoping to carry the momentum forward and get the results we need,” Pereira commented. “We respect our opponents but believe in our capabilities.”

The head-to-head record favors Wolves, who have secured victories in their last six meetings with Southampton, including a 2-0 win earlier in the season. Wolves have scored 29 goals against Southampton while conceding just 20 in their previous encounters.

Both teams have dealt with injuries this season, but Wolves will be bolstered by Munetsi’s return to form, while Southampton hopes Paul Onuachu can replicate his match-winning performance from earlier in the year. Fans of both clubs are eager to see if Southampton can rise from the bottom or if Wolves can continue their climb away from the relegation zone.

This match is crucial for Southampton as they look to avoid setting a record for the fewest points in Premier League history, currently held by Derby County at 11 points. With plenty at stake, the atmosphere at St. Mary’s is expected to be tense.
