Wolves vs Southampton: Premier League Clash as Both Teams Seek Crucial Win

The Premier League’s bottom two teams, Wolverhampton Wanderers and Southampton, are set to face off in a crucial match on Saturday, November 9, at the Molineux Stadium. This encounter is pivotal for both teams as they strive to move away from the relegation zone.

Wolves, under the management of Gary O’Neil, are yet to secure a win this season, having drawn their last two games against Brighton and Crystal Palace. Despite their recent performances, Wolves have not tasted victory in the Premier League this season and are desperate for a win to boost their survival hopes.

Southampton, managed by Russell Martin, are coming off their first win of the season, a 1-0 victory over Everton last weekend, thanks to a late goal from Adam Armstrong. This win has relieved some pressure on Martin, but the team still faces significant challenges, particularly with their away form. Southampton have not taken any points away from home this season and will be looking to change this trend.

Both teams are dealing with several injury concerns. For Wolves, Bastien Meupiyou, Sasa Kalajdzic, Enso Gonzalez, Boubacar Traore, and Yerson Mosquera are ruled out, while Hwang Hee-chan is a serious doubt. Southampton will be without Gavin Bazunu, Will Smallbone, and Ross Stewart, with Adam Lallana and Ryan Fraser also doubtful.

The match kicks off at 15:00 GMT (10:00 AM ET or 7:00 AM PT in the US) and will not be televised in the UK due to the traditional Saturday 3 PM blackout. However, it will be available to stream via Peacock in the USA and through other services in Canada and Australia.

Predictions for the match are mixed, with some expecting a high-scoring draw and others believing Wolves might secure their first win of the season. Historically, Wolves have had the upper hand, winning their last five meetings against Southampton in the Premier League.
