Despite suffering defeat in their last competitive outing, losing to Lyon in the PL International Cup, Saints are unbeaten in two league matches as they return to PL2 action sitting just inside the playoff places.

A dominant 6-0 triumph over Reading back in September was the last time Saints played in the league as Kamari Doyle and Tyler Dibling both scored braces at Snows Stadium.

Wolves sit two places behind Saints, just outside the playoff qualification spots, with one less point so far this campaign.

They suffered defeat in each of their first three games, but have since won two of their following three league matches.

Goals from Tawanda Chirewa and Justin Hubner earned a 2-0 win over Leeds at the start of October in their last PL2 outing.

PREVIOUS MEETING

Saints' last trip to Wolves came in the 2021/22 season and ended in a narrow 1-0 victory on the road.

Kazeem Olaigbe's sixth-minute opener proved to be the difference at the Sir Jack Hayward Training Ground.

COACHES PREVIEW

Ahead of his long-awaited first league game in charge, Head Coach Adam Asghar shared his excitement for the Wolves clash.

"It'll be nice to finally have a game after what feels like an age, but it's been a good few weeks of training as a group.

"I've been really impressed with the boys and how they've applied themselves and it's now about putting our work into practice on the pitch".
