We round up the 5th Round of the FA Cup this Thursday with two games left to be played. Our focus will be at the Molineux Stadium as Wolves and Southampton go at it for a place in the last 8 of the English domestic cup. Read on for our expert tips and predictions.

In their most league recent encounter, both outfits played out a 1-1 draw at the Molineux Stadium. As such, Wolves head into this game unbeaten in three games against the Saints. What's more, they have lost just once to Southampton since gaining promotion to the top flight.

Both sides hell-bent on winning

Wolves haven't impressed this season, most especially in the league, as they currently sit at the bottom half of the standings after 23 games played. Compared to their performances in the last two seasons, Nuno's troops will certainly feel they've been quite under-par all through the season. However, if they can manage to go all the way in the FA Cup, they could certainly term this a successful season regardless of their league finish. In their most recent game, they played out a 0-0 draw at home to the Foxes. Will they manage to do one better against the Saints this Thursday?

Lots of concern for the Saints

Southampton head into this game off the back of a five-game losing streak in the league. The Saints conceded 16 goals in this four-game spell, with just four goals scored on their end. They failed to get the better of the 10-men Newcastle United last weekend as the Magpies recorded their second win in three league games. Given that this is a cup competition, also that they knocked out the defending champions in the previous round, we expect them to put up a fight in this game.
