In one of the meetings of the English Football Championship, the players of Southampton and Wolverhampton will come face to face. Which of the rivals will get the victory in this confrontation? LiveResult.Ru evaluates the chances of winning this game.
Southampton
The players of Southampton do not shine with their results this season. After all, the 15th place in the national championship with 4 points in the asset is not the start that the fans and the club management expected. In the last round, the team was able to take away points from Manchester City, having played with the citizens in a draw – 0: 0. The main problem of the Saints is a weak attack. In five meetings of the national championship, Southampton scored only 4 goals. This week, the hosts met with Sheffield United in the English League Cup, where they were able to defeat the Blades in a penalty shootout.
Wolverhampton
Perhaps, the "wolves" also show far from the results that their fans expect from them. After leaving the club, Sanu "Wolverhampton", as it seems, lost his heart. In the championship for five rounds, the team was able to win only once, losing in the four remaining cases. Such results allow the Wolves to be located on the 16th line in the standings. The only defeat in the Premier League, Wolverhampton won in the match with Watford - 2:0. In the last round, the guests played with Brentford, but lost to the bees with a score of 0:2. In the middle of the week, the visiting team lost in the English League Cup, where they lost in a penalty shootout to Tottenham in London.
Statistics and figures:
- The opponents have approximately equal chances of winning;
- The Saints have a 6-match winless streak;
- "Wolves" can't win in the last two matches;
- The last face-to-face meeting of the rivals ended with a score of 2:1 in favor of Wolverhampton.
Forecast
"Wolves" will be able to win this meeting. The visiting team is gradually gaining momentum and is ready to prove it in the upcoming match. The "Saints" are not playing in the best way in the national championship. My forecast will be in favor of the guests.
