Head-to-head record
Previous meetings: 76
Southampton wins: 28
Draws: 18
Wolves wins: 30
The head-to-head history between Southampton and Wolverhampton Wanderers is about as even as one might expect, as from 76 previous clashes in all competitions, the Old Gold have 30 wins compared to 28 successes for the Saints.
Wolves have overtaken their Southern counterparts in the victories column thanks to a spate of recent successes in this fixture, as the West Midlands team are on a fabulous seven-game winning run against Southampton, and all of those victories have come in the Premier League.
Gary O'Neil masterminded a 2-0 win over Russell Martin's Southampton in November 2024, as Pablo Sarabia and Matheus Cunha sank the Saints to give Wolves their longest winning run over a single opponent in Premier League history, which they extended with a 2-1 success at St Mary's in March 2025.
Wolves also did the double over Southampton in the 2022-23 and 2021-22 Premier League campaigns, and the Saints' most recent victory in this fixture actually came in the FA Cup, a 2-0 fifth-round win in February 2021.
Southampton have to travel even further back to April 2019 for their last Premier League win versus Wolves, overcoming Nuno Espirito Santo's side 3-1 at St Mary's as Nathan Redmond bagged a brace and Shane Long also got in on the act.
While Southampton have not won away from home against Wolves since March 2007 in the Championship, that victory was a particularly emphatic one, as Marek Saganowski netted a hat-trick in a 6-0 Molineux mauling.
That astounding success represents the joint-biggest margin of victory in this fixture, as in a 1965-66 Second Division encounter between the two teams, Southampton incredibly triumphed in a 12-goal extravaganza by nine goals to three.
Another notable meeting between Wolves and Southampton took place in just their second-ever head-to-head, where the Old Gold won 2-0 in a 1907-08 FA Cup semi-final before defeating Newcastle United in the final.
