Recent respective form guides
Southampton's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. While Saints have scored 9, a worringly large 15 have been leaked at the other end.
Wolves's away form is none too clever either, unbeaten in the last six, but with four of them resulting in draws. The games have constituted a decent return of 12 goals for the Wolves, and 3 goals against.
