History of the Southampton v Wolverhampton Wanderers fixture

Wolves face a trip to Southampton at St. Marys at tea-time on Saturday, and have come away with little in previous meetings, having been beaten a depressing 17 out of 26 times.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was was two seasons ago, in September 2003, with Southampton running out comfortable 2 - 0 winners in a Premiership match.

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.
