Betting on Southampton F.C.
Southampton is in serious trouble in the Premier League. It is currently at the bottom of the standings with 15 points, after four wins, three draws and 13 defeats, the most matches lost so far in 20 rounds.
Despite this, they are still hopeful of advancing in the FA Cup, after beating Crystal Palace by a score of 1-2 to reach the round of 16. They have a record of three wins in their last five meetings in all competitions, but curiously, they come into this match with two consecutive defeats in which they failed to score goals.
Probable lineup (4-2-3-1): Gavin Bazunu, Romain Perraud, Mohammed Salisu, Duje Caleta-Car, Lyanco, Ainsley Maitland-Niles, James Ward-Prowse, Adam Armstrong, Joe Arribo, Samuel Edozie, Che Adams
Blackpool Preview
Blackpool caused a surprise in the previous round of the FA Cup, defeating Nottingham Forest by a crushing score of 4-1. The credit was not only for eliminating a Premier League rival, but also for ending a nine-game winless streak in all competitions, which included four draws and five defeats.
Once again they will face a first division opponent in English soccer and could come in confident because of Southampton’s current form. In the Championship, they lost their most recent match against Watford by a score of 2-0. This loss continues to complicate their position in the general standings, where they are in the second to last place with 26 points.
Probable lineup (4-4-2): Chris Maxwell, Andy Lyons, Marvin Ekpiteta, Jordan Thorniley, James Husband, Shayne Lavery, Sonny Carey, Charlie Patino, CJ Hamilton, Ian Carlo Poveda, Jake Beesley
JefeBet Prediction
Both teams are fighting to avoid relegation in their respective leagues. However, they are giving the proper importance to a tournament like the FA Cup and will be looking to continue advancing, even if that does not solve their main problem.
The balance is on the side of the Premier League side, who beat their opponents the last time they met in the FA Cup in 2011 by a score of 2-0.
Prediction: Southampton wins by a score of 2-1.
