Check out this 23/20 Southampton vs Wolves betting tip

Written by: Brad Walker

Relegation-bound Southampton play host to a Wolves side also languishing at the rear end of the Premier League table on Saturday. 

Our man Brad Walker (@brad_TWalker) has taken a closer look at the match-up and picked out a 23/20 fancy.

Southampton vs Wolves analysis - Hard to look past visiting Midlanders

The league table at first suggests this is a meeting between two relegation rivals, but inspection of each side's points tallies tells an entirely different story. 

Hosts Southampton now find themselves a staggering 14 points adrift of Wolves in 17th, a deficit which essentially condemns them to a Championship return next season. 

Meanwhile, Wolves are now six points above the relegation zone heading into the weekend and are in a strong position to secure top-flight football for next year. 

As is the case with the title race, the relegation battle is already looking pretty set, with all three promoted sides likely to drop back down for the second year running.

Wolves to win - 23/20

To say Southampton's season has been miserable would be an understatement. The hapless Saints have picked up just two league wins and come into this game having lost their last five matches on the spin. 

Ivan Juric's men have been well short of the mark at both ends of the pitch, having averaged a meagre 0.69 scored at home while also shipping 2.85 in the process. 

And while some hope may be found in the absence of Wolves talisman Matheus Cunha through suspension, the away side still have higher quality in their ranks. 

Wolves may come into this one with only a single win in their previous five, but Vitor Pereira's side have been competitive in all of those and also picked up a draw against an in-form side last time out. 

Still, the visitors come in at a surprising odds-against 23/20 to pickup three points this weekend.

Without sounding too disrespectful, getting any side at an odds-against price versus this Southampton team is always a bet worth backing. 

They remain one of the poorest outfits seen in the Premier League in recent years and are all but confirmed to be playing second division football next season. 

Conversely, Wolves know victory will likely confirm their spot in the top-flight next year, particularly considering the fixtures awaiting the sides in and around them. 

Back the Wolves win.
