The epilogue of the 9th round of the Premier League is announced to be extremely balanced and spectacular, Southampton and Wolverhampton being two teams with an attractive football!
Wolverhampton
The departures of preseason of some stars like Diogo Jota have left their mark on the evolution of the players, the team failing to practice the spectacular football of the previous season, and with Leicester it did not have any great opportunity.
However, Nuno’s team is going through a pretty good period, having 3 victories, a draw and a single defeat in the last 5 games, and the team is on a comfortable 12th place, with 13 points after the first 8 games played.
Southampton’s players, however, have to raise their level of play considerably if they want to get any of the next three games, all on fire, with Southampton, Liverpool and Arsenal.
Southampton
One of the pleasant surprises of this beginning of the season, Hassenhuttl’s team managed to turn 180 degrees the bad start of the season in which they started with 2 defeats, following 6 matches from which the team obtained 16 points and, moreover, – He stood up to Chelsea and Everton. The team occupies the 6th position of the ranking, and a victory and propelled it to the third position of the ranking, one point behind Tottenham and Liverpool.
Although the team will miss for a long time the main scorer, Danny Ings, their coach should not be extremely worried, both Ward-Prowse and Che Adams managing to take his place brilliantly.

Football Prediction of the Day Wolverhampton vs Southampton
One of the most balanced and long-awaited matches of the 9th round takes place in its epilogue, a duel that pits two teams with excellent coaches, but also with quality in the offensive sector, Wolverhampton still having Jimenez, Traore and Podence, and Southampton relying on Adams and Ward-Prowse in the absence of Danny Ings.
I expect Ralph Hassenhuttl to bet on the attacking card in this game, knowing that a victory in front of the hosts would bring them on the podium, one point away from the top two.
That’s why I think a pretty good prognosis for this match is for both teams to score, Southampton having the offensive strength to score for Wolverhampton, and they can take advantage of the spaces that will surely be created in defense of the guests.
Prediction Today: Southampton Both score
Odds: 1.92
