Southampton vs Wolverhampton Wanderers Prediction
Southampton are in trouble; they are at the bottom of the league table, four points behind 17th-placed West Ham United. Manager Nathan Jones certainly does not lack confidence. His words, however, have not been well received by Southampton fans, and Jones' future hangs in the balance.
Southampton are once again in the process of constructing a talented young squad. But there is a feeling that they might have spent too much on signing young stars and should have also signed some established players to provide balance to the squad.
That does not mean they have not spent money. The likes of Romeo Lavia, Kamaldeen Sulemana, Gavin Bazunu and Armel Bella-Kotchap are all extremely talented young footballers who should do well for the Saints.
Wolverhampton Wanderers, on the other hand, are 15th in the league and recently beat Liverpool, which will provide some much-needed boost. Julen Lopetegui has done well since becoming the manager, and Wolves strengthened the squad in January by adding Matheus Cunha, Craig Dawson, Pablo Sarabia and Joao Gomes.
