Southampton hosts Wolverhampton Wanderers in round 23 of the English Premier League. The match will be played on Saturday, January 18th at St. Mary's Stadium (Southampton)
Southampton will have a match against Wolverhampton at its home stadium. The team is in very good shape. Over the past six matches, the Saints have gained five victories. They beat such teams as Chelsea, Tottenham, and Leicester. Southampton started the season not in the best way, but then the team of Ralph Hasenhuttl managed to find a way out of this situation. All the team leaders are in good shape, in particular, Ings, who has already scored 14 goals in this championship.

Wolverhampton will have an incredibly difficult match. The team is not experiencing the best period of this season. The team can’t win for the last four matches - two draws and two defeats. Besides, before the game with Southampton, the Wolves played a difficult game with Manchester United in the 1/32 finals of the FA Cup (a 0-1 defeat). At the same time, Southampton will not be encumbered with cup battles.
Of course, Southampton is the favorite of the match. The team is on the move and shows football of a very high level. Since November, the team has suffered only two defeats. Perhaps the main creator of this transformation is the coaching staff of the team, led by the Austrian Ralph Hasenhuttl. He managed to find balance in the defensive actions of the team, changing a scheme with three central defenders to a scheme with two. Armstrong, Redmond, Hojbjerg, and Ward-Prowse show a stable game in the midfield. Taking into account the amazing shape of the hosts, the cup match played by the visitors in the middle of the week and the winless streak of Wolverhampton, I think the Saints will earn at least one point at their stadium.
Prediction for the match: Southampton to win with +0.5 handicap
