Recent form
Southampton
Southampton are in dire straits, languishing at the bottom of the Premier League table with a dismal run of form. The Saints have suffered five consecutive defeats, conceding a whopping 16 goals whilst scoring only four in their last six matches. Their defensive frailties are particularly concerning, with no clean sheets in their last nine games and an average of 2.67 goals conceded per match. The 4-0 thrashing by Chelsea and the 4-0 home defeat to Brighton stand out as particularly heavy losses. Southampton's inability to keep matches low-scoring is evident, with 83% of their recent games featuring over 2.5 goals. The solitary win against Ipswich Town seems a distant memory amidst this torrid run, and the Saints desperately need to turn their fortunes around to have any hope of Premier League survival.
Wolves
Wolves have shown mixed form in their recent fixtures, with their last six games producing an even spread of two wins, two draws, and two losses. The team's defensive record has been relatively solid, conceding only one goal per game on average and keeping two clean sheets in this period. However, their offensive output has been modest, scoring 1.17 goals per game. Interestingly, 67% of their matches have seen both teams score, suggesting a tendency for competitive encounters. Despite their current 17th position in the league table, Wolves have managed to maintain a positive goal difference of +1 over these six games. Their recent results indicate a struggle for consistency, with no significant winning or losing streaks to report. The majority of their matches (67%) have been low-scoring affairs, falling under 2.5 goals, which aligns with their modest scoring rate and relatively tight defence.

Recent home/away form
Southampton
Southampton's recent home form has been abysmal, with the Saints enduring a dire run of four consecutive defeats at St Mary's. Their last six home matches have seen them win just once, a 3-0 FA Cup victory over Swansea, amidst a sea of losses. The team's defensive frailties have been brutally exposed, conceding a staggering 16 goals in these six games, including a 5-0 thrashing by Brentford. Southampton have struggled to find the back of the net, scoring only five times in this period, with three of those coming in their sole victory. Their inability to keep clean sheets, managing just one in six matches, coupled with their tendency to concede heavily, has led to 83% of these games featuring over 2.5 goals. This poor home form has undoubtedly contributed to their precarious position at the bottom of the Premier League table.
Wolves
Wolves' recent away form has been mixed, with two wins, one draw, and three losses in their last six matches on the road. Despite their low league position, they have shown some resilience in cup competitions, securing a draw against Bournemouth in the FA Cup and a win against Blackburn Rovers in the same tournament. The team have struggled defensively, conceding nine goals in these six away games, with a particularly heavy 3-0 defeat to Newcastle United. However, they have managed two clean sheets during this period, both resulting in victories. Interestingly, Wolves have faced Bournemouth twice in quick succession, losing 1-0 in the league before drawing 1-1 in the FA Cup just a week later. The team's goal-scoring record has been modest, averaging one goal per game, with half of their matches seeing both teams score and an even split between games going over and under 2.5 total goals.
