Our prediction for this Premier League match:
Wolverhampton and Southampton square off against each other at Molineux Stadium in what is expected to be an interesting Premier League game. The Wolves are still eyeing their first win of the season, but their displays in back-to-back draws with Brighton and Crystal Palace are surely fuelling fans with optimism ahead of upcoming challenges. A man to watch in the home team will be Matheus Cunha, who provided a brilliant assist for Jorgen Strand Larsen in the last league match, while the likes of Hee-Chan Hwang, Boubacar Traore, Enso Gonzalez, and Yerson Mosquera remain in the recovery room.
Midfielder Bastien Meupiyou will be assessed ahead of the kick-off. The Saints, on the other hand, desperately needed a win against Everton and they managed to get one, with the team recording their first triumph of the season. Southampton’s away record, though, is anything but good and that is the main reason why we are going to place our bets on the home side.
Highlighted Player (Hee-Chan Hwang):
Hwang Hee-Chan is a product of Pohang Steelers football academy. The Korean attacker, who was born in Chuncheon on January 26, 1996, started his senior career at FC Liefering of Austria and he scored 13 goals in 31 appearances for the club. The 177-cm tall striker currently plays for Red Bull Salzburg and you should bear in mind that he netted 12 goals for the club in the 2016/2017 season.
Hwang Hee-Chan won his second Austrian Bundesliga title with Salzburg in the 2016/2017 season, but the Red Bulls eventually failed to make it to the Champions League group stages. The Salzburg footballer made his South Korea debut in a 2-0 win over Canada on November 11, 2016.
Hee-Chan played regularly for the Korea national football team in the 2018 World Cup qualifiers and he scored one goal in the process. The Koreans eventually booked their place at the showpiece tournament in Russia, meaning that the Salzburg attacker will have a chance to prove his worth on the big stage.
Highlighted Team (Southampton):
Southampton are an English football club that have been playing their home games at St Mary's Stadium since 2001. The Saints were based at The Dell in the past and the capacity of Southampton’s new stadium is 32,505. Southampton wear red and white striped shirts and the colour of the team’s away kit is navy and green.
The Saints have yet to win the Premier League trophy, but they did well to clinch the FA Cup title back in 1976, while participating in the final of the prestigious competition in 1900, 1902 and 2003. Southampton outplayed Manchester United in the 1976 FA Cup final and that is probably the club’s greatest victory ever.
The club are well known for their football academy and Real Madrid superstar Gareth Bale is one of the players who began their football carrier at the St. Mary’s Stadium outfit. Southampton’s fiercest rivals are Portsmouth and the two teams square off against each other in the South Coast Derby.
