“Wolverhampton” – “Southampton”: quotes from bookmakers
Every day, more and more questions arise about the situation in which Adama Traore found himself. One of the best wingers in the Premier League last season, the current championship is on the bench. According to the famous journalist David Ornstein, the Spaniard lost his place in the starting line-up, not because of the coach’s tactical considerations or because of weak form. The main reason is the stalled negotiations between Wolverhampton and Traore to sign a new contract. The Asturian does not mind expanding the agreement with the club, but considers the proposal of the “wolves” inadequate to the level and status of Adama.

However, other sources refute this claim – allegedly Traore simply loses the competition to Pedro Neto and Daniel Podense. Be that as it may, and “Southampton” in any case will be happy if Nuno Espirito Santo returns to leave the Spanish on the bench. After all, it was Traore smashed the defense of the “saints” in the teams’ last meeting. At St. Mary’s, the Wolves lost the first half with a score of 0: 2, but after the break, thanks to two assists from the Spaniard, they came back and won 3: 2.
Wolverhampton – Southampton: indicative lineups
Before the international break, “Southampton” won a very decent play. Ralf Hasenhüttl’s players have won five of the previous six matches, bringing them closer to the championship leaders. There were well-founded fears that the loss of the team’s top scorer, Danny Ings, would negatively affect the team’s game and the “Saints” would slow down. But the fight against Newcastle (2-0 win) showed that Southampton is good without their leader.
Ings’ recovery is going according to plan. In addition, Hasenhüttl said that the forward could return to service even before the scheduled date. But this will definitely not happen in Wolverhampton. Obviously Che Adams and Theo Walcott will once again form a pair of Southampton forwards at Molineux. Another piece of good news for the Saints was the return of James Ward-Prowse and Ryan Bertrand, who were injured before the team break. Both players are expected to start the starting lineup against Wolverhampton FC.
Nuno Espirito Santo kept a low profile as usual, answering questions about injured players on his team. The Wolverhampton coach said he will have to assess the condition of some of the players who have certain health problems. It is only known with certainty that Conor Cody’s participation in the match is in doubt. The central defender, due to contact with the coronavirus, left the location of the England team and went into self-isolation.
“Wolverhampton” – “Southampton”: the author’s prediction
Wolverhampton and Southampton have exchanged goals in their previous three matches. I think teams have a good chance of continuing this emerging trend. My prediction is that both will score. As for the result, I am inclined not to lose the “saints”.
