Here is our Wolves predicted lineup.<\/p>\n<h2>Wolves Predicted Lineup Vs Southampton In Vital Relegation Clash<\/h2>\n<h3>How Wolves Have Lined Up Recently<\/h3>\n<p>In their recent 1-1 draw with Everton on March 8, Wolves deployed a 3-4-2-1 formation. The lineup featured Jos\u00e9 S\u00e1 in goal; a back three of Matt Doherty, Emmanuel Agbadou, and Toti Gomes; a midfield quartet of N\u00e9lson Semedo, Jo\u00e3o Gomes, Andr\u00e9, and Rayan A\u00eft-Nouri; and an attacking trio of Marshal Munetsi, J\u00f8rgen Strand Larsen, and Jean-Ricner Bellegarde.<\/p>\n<h3>Wolves Recent Form And Tactics<\/h3>\n<p>Wolves have experienced mixed results in recent fixtures. On February 22, they secured a 1-0 victory over Bournemouth, with Matheus Cunha scoring the decisive goal. However, they suffered a 2-1 defeat to Fulham, despite G. Gomes netting an equaliser. In their latest outing, they managed a 1-1 draw with Everton, with Munetsi scoring his first goal for the club.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More:<\/strong>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2025\/03\/08\/manchester-united-jean-philippe-mateta-transfer-talks-begin\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Manchester United Start Talks To Sign Premier League Striker With \u2018Another Dimension&#8217;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Under manager V\u00edtor Pereira, Wolves have adopted a 3-4-2-1 formation, emphasising defensive solidity and swift transitions. This setup features a back three, with wing-backs providing width and two attacking midfielders supporting the lone striker. The midfield duo of Gomes and Andr\u00e9 have been instrumental in breaking up opposition play and initiating attacks.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2025\/03\/04\/the-5-best-wolves-strikers\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">The 5 Best Strikers In Wolves History<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Wing-backs Semedo and\u00a0 A\u00eft-Nouri provide width, while attacking midfielders Munetsi and Bellegarde support Striker Strand Larsen. Since Pereira took over in December, this tactical approach has made Wolves more competitive. Still, the absence of key players like\u00a0 Cunha has sometimes led to a lack of creativity in the final third, as they prepare to face Southampton, maintaining defensive discipline and capitalising on counter-attacking opportunities will be crucial.<\/p>\n<h3>Injuries And Suspensions To Consider<\/h3>\n<p>The Wanderers have no fresh injury concerns ahead of the Southampton game. <a href=\"https:\/\/alwayswolves.co.uk\/vitor-pereiras-press-conference-southampton-v-wolves\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Pereira<\/a> said at the press conference: &#8220;Having a fully fit squad to choose from is very important as it gives us more options.
