Wolves vs Southampton

Wolves secured their first Premier League victory of the season (P11 W1 D3 L7), ending their 13-game winless streak in the top-flight, with this their first victory since beating Luton in April (2-1).

Southampton remain winless in their last 13 away Premier League games (D2 L11) and are the first side to lose nine consecutive away matches in the competition since Norwich in September 2021. Indeed, the last side to endure a longer losing run on the road was Aston Villa between February 2016 – September 2019 (10 in a row).

Wolves managed to keep their first clean sheet in 23 Premier League games, with their previous shutout coming against Sheffield United in February (1-0).

Wolves have won each of their last five Premier League games against Southampton, their longest winning run against any opponent in the competition.

Having kept a clean sheet in their first ever Premier League meeting with Wolves in September 2003 (2-0), Southampton have now conceded in each of their last 11 against them in the competition.

The away side has won just two of the last 27 Premier League meetings between sides starting the day in the bottom two places in the league table (D8 L17), though one of those was the most recent such match between Sheffield United (20th) and Burnley (19th) in April (4-1 to Burnley).

Wolves remain winless in their 10 Premier League games so far this season (D3 L7) – only in 1983-84 have they ever had a longer run without a win from the start of a league campaign (14), going on to finish bottom of the top-flight that season.

Southampton’s 1-0 victory over Everton last time out ended a run of 22 Premier League games without a win, and a run of 21 without a clean sheet in the competition. They last won consecutive top-flight games in February 2022, the first of which came against Everton.
