The penultimate match to be played in the FA Cup fifth round is between Wolverhampton Wanderers and Southampton on Thursday the 11th of February.
The match will take place at Molineux Stadium with the hosts 14th in the Premier League on 27 points and the visitors in 12th place on 29 points, with a game in hand.
Wolves come into this match having been held to a 0-0 draw at home by Leicester City in the Premier League on the weekend. That result means they have won only one of their last 4 games, all of which have come in the Premier League.
The victory came at home against Arsenal and in addition to the draw at home against Leicester City, Wolves picked up a point in a 0-0 draw at Chelsea and were defeated at Crystal Palace.
However, Wolves have lost only one of their last 5 matches in all competitions including a victory over Chorley away from home in the fourth round of the FA Cup. Wolves defeated Crystal Palace 1-0 at home in the third round of the competition and despite only scoring two goals in the FA Cup this season, Wolves are yet to concede a goal.
Trends show Wolves are undefeated in their last 6 home FA Cup ties, picking up wins over Liverpool, Shrewsbury Town, Manchester United, and Crystal Palace. Wolves have scored 2 or more goals in 3 of those 6 FA Cup matches.
Southampton make the trip to Molineux Stadium having lost 3-2 at Newcastle United in the Premier League on the weekend. Having conceded two goals inside the opening 26 minutes of the game, it was always going to be difficult for Southampton to come back into the match and despite scoring twice themselves they went on to lose 3-2.
It was a disappointing result, especially as they were hoping to bounce back from the embarrassing 9-0 defeat at Manchester United.
Southampton have lost each of their last 4 games, all of which have come in the Premier League and you must go back to the fourth round of the FA Cup to find their last victory. That was a 1-0 home win over current FA Cup holders Arsenal and Southampton defeated Shrewsbury Town 2-0 in the third round of the competition, which was also played at home.
Trends show Southampton have failed to win any of their last 3 away FA Cup matches and have conceded 2 more goals in each of those 3 games.
Team news and Wolverhampton continue without the injured Willy Boly, Daniel Podence, Rayan Ait Nouri, Fernando Marcal, and Raul Jimenez.
Southampton will be without William Smallbone and Michael Obafemi who are both injured. Alexandre Jankewitz is suspended and there are doubts over the fitness of Kyle Walker-Peters and Stuart Armstrong.
Southampton are currently low on confidence and Wolverhampton Wanderers will be hoping to take advantage. Wolves have not been scoring a huge number of goals recently but by keeping a clean sheet, they could secure a narrow victory.
