Heading into 2022, the Wolves have won both the league and the FA Cup and are currently 28 points after 19 games, in the upper middle of the rankings. It is worth mentioning that in the last 9 games, we wolves have achieved 7 clean sheets.
Southampton played 20 league games with 24 points and are unbeaten in their last five games, winning 4-1 at home to Brentford in midweek make-up matches.
Since returning to the Premier League in 18 years, the two teams have played each other 8 times, and I Wolves have the advantage of 4 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses. In their first meeting of the season, I won 1-0 away from home, with Jimenez scoring his first goal since his return from a serious injury.
Wolves lineup
Laje: "There is no new situation at the moment, Seth is participating in the Africa Cup of Nations, so we have to find the right replacement. This season Seth has formed a solid defensive line with Cody and Kilman, while also creating a threat in the set-piece attack. Both Marsal and Dendonkel can play centre-back and I'm sure our defence will be as stable as ever. ”
Rival Southampton
Laje: "Southampton have also been in good form lately, they usually play at 4 backs but sometimes at 5 backs, in midfield sometimes 3 and sometimes 2 and they are a strong opponent. ”
The performance of Fabio Silva
Laje: "I'm very happy with his recent performances, especially in the last two games, which are a huge improvement over the League Cup against Tottenham in September. Fabio Silva is still a young player, and he knows that the coaching staff trusts him and knows that he needs to keep training hard every day. I trust him a lot and believe he can be a top striker, but now he needs to train hard to cash in on his talent so that he can play well in the game. Fabio Silva is now very happy with Wolves, and he will help Wolves. We may line up a double centre-forward in the game, such as in the last 15 minutes against Villa, when Fabio Silva and Jimenez were on the pitch at the same time. Of course, how the players are lined up in the game depends on the feedback of the players' performance during training, and Fabio Silva first has to prove to me his ability. ”
