It is an opportunity to get a first win, the chance to stop a relegation-threatened rival from creating more daylight and also the moment to unite a disillusioned fan base.
On top of that, head coach Gary O'Neil is fighting for his future and may need a win to secure it.
Going into the 11th Premier League game of the season against the Saints, Wolves are just shy of a third of the way through the campaign.
Although mitigating factors give O'Neil some respite and Wolves' overall performances may deserve more than just three points, a club can only go so long without winning.
Southampton, despite picking up their first win of the season last week, are a team there for the taking and Wolves must attack them as such.
O'Neil, eager to encourage togetherness, will need a positive performance from his players and a fast start to get an enthusiastic response from the Molineux faithful.
“It’s a case of ‘come on, let’s go’, I’m going to stand up when we get to Molineux," O'Neil said.
