Stadium: St Mary's (Southampton)
Southampton will host Wolverhampton in round 6 of the English Premier League. Will Wolverhampton be able to upset their opponent at St. Mary's for the second time in a row?
Southampton form
After losing to Everton on the opening day of this English Premier League campaign, Southampton's next four games ended in a draw. The team under Ralph Hasenhüttl shared points with Manchester United and West Ham United at home, and also drew away with Newcastle United and Manchester City. The team's trip to the Etihad was very interesting. Southampton allowed Man City only one shot on goal. Currently, Southampton is 15th in the EPL table with 4 points.

After a 2-0 away win over Watford, Wolverhampton returned to their home ground to take on Brentford. The team under Bruno Lage once again failed to show their best to suffer a defeat (0-2). Five matches played, the Wolves have 3 points and sit 16th in the English Premier League standings.

Expert Betting Tips
Southampton will try to take revenge for the last home defeat against Wolverhampton in the upcoming match. This season, the Wolves have not yet shown a good game and are performing below their potential. At the St. Mary's Stadium, we should expect a hard-fought battle between the clubs.
