Comparative Team Statistics: Wolves vs Southampton

History doesn't tell us much here

These two have met plenty of times, but almost all of it comes from their days together in the Premier League, stretching back to a League Cup tie in 2017. The most recent meeting was back in March 2025, when Southampton lost 2-1 at home to Wolves.

That was a different level of football for both clubs, so none of it really reflects where either side is now in the Championship.

Close company near the top

Wolves sit third with 24 points from 13 league games, just one place and one point above Southampton in fifth. It's about as tight as it gets between two clubs chasing the top end of the table.

Southampton's goal difference is actually the better of the two. They've scored more and conceded fewer than Wolves despite sitting lower in the standings.

That suggests Southampton's underlying numbers might be a touch stronger than their league position alone implies.

Key men in form

C. Larin has been Southampton's standout performer this season, with seven goals in eight matches. F. Azaz has chipped in three goals and four assists in the same number of games, giving Southampton a couple of reliable goal threats.

For Wolves, Fer López is the man to watch, with four goals in seven appearances and a couple of assists to his name too.

What to expect

With both sides scoring freely and conceding at a similar rate, this looks more like a contest between two well-matched attacking units than a clear mismatch.

Southampton's longer unbeaten run and superior goal difference hint they could be slightly undervalued, but Wolves' home form and recent return to winning ways make them tough to write off either.
