Wolverhampton vs Southampton Picks: Bet Over 2.5 on Nov 9

Every once in a while, I like to show some love to the worst teams in the English Premier League. It’s easy to take interest in Manchester City or Liverpool, but who cares about Wolverhampton and Southampton? I do!

I’m not kidding. The Wolves and the Saints are at the bottom of the standings, which turns Saturday’s clash into a hope fest. Even though they own a 0-3-7 record, the Wolves are slightly favored. That’s the beauty of the best league in the world!

Let’s check the latest odds and trends while making the best Premier League betting picks!

Top 2 Picks for Wolverhampton vs Southampton

1. Now or Never for Wolverhampton, Bet on Them to Win

Wolverhampton won’t have another chance like this. I mean, come on, you’re playing host to a team that’s 1-1-8 and has conceded 19 goals in 10 games, and there’s more! Southampton has only scored seven goals!

Yes, at least the Saints have won one game, but the Wolves have scored 14 goals, and regardless of the result, they’ve scored in all their home games so far. Plus, their only victory, which was in the EFL Cup, was at home.

Regarding the EPL, the Wolves’ last game was against Crystal Palace and finished 2-2. Three weeks ago, they played host to Manchester City and put up a very good fight. The Citizens ended up winning 2-1, with John Stones scoring the winner in the 95th minute. I guess what I’m trying to say is that something’s there; not everything is bad when it comes to Wolverhampton.

Speaking of good fights, you can expect the Saints to put up one on Saturday because they have won their last two games. First, they defeated Stoke City 3-2 in the EFL Cup, and most recently, they got their first EPL victory after taking down Everton 1-0.

Here’s where the scoring production comes into play because the Wolves have scored twice as much and the Saints haven’t been able to score more than one goal in each of their last five games on the road.

It’s now or never for the Wolves, and for you, because this is the perfect opportunity to include them in your soccer picks and parlays at a very low price.

Bet This Pick: Wolverhampton ML (-105)

2. Bet the Game Total Over 2.5 Goals

Let me lower your expectations. Don’t expect a goal-fest, but you can expect both teams to score, as they have in three of the last five meetings between the two.

Wolverhampton has played 12 games in all competitions and failed to score once, against Arsenal in the EPL season opener. Since then, the Wolves have managed to score against Chelsea, Aston Villa, Liverpool, Newcastle and Manchester City. In other words, they aren’t afraid, not even when the soccer betting odds aren’t on their side, which is quite often!

Why you can’t expect a goal-fest? Because Southampton is not a high-scoring team. In fact, no other team has scored fewer goals than the Saints. However, they scored in four of their last five games on the road, failing to do so against Manchester City, which was expected.

Finally, Wolverhampton has three players with 3+ goals each: Matheus Cunha, Jorgen Strand Larsen, and Rayan Ait-Nouri. They’re the main reason I think the Wolves will take the win with a 2-1 score.

Bet This Pick: Wolverhampton vs Southampton Over 2.5 Goals (-145)
