Southampton vs Grimsby Predictions


Southampton continue to flounder in the Premier League and face a potential banana skin in the FA Cup. League Two Grimsby are unpredictable themselves and I'm focusing on the BTTS market here with goals predicted.

Southampton vs Grimsby Preview


The elation of Southampton's 1-0 win over Chelsea two weeks back was shortlived as they lost a relegation six-pointer to Leeds at the weekend.

Saints slipped to their 16th defeat from 24 Premier League games this season and are now four points from safety.

It was a sixth loss in the last eight matches.

The cups have been a bonus distraction for Southampton, who reached the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup and have beaten Crystal Palace and Blackpool 2-1 to reach this stage of the FA Cup.

Grimsby have slipped to 16th place in League Two after just one win in their last five games.

The Mariners lost successive games to Colchester 1-0 and Gillington 2-1 before beating Northampton 2-1.

Grimsby have drawn their last two matches 0-0 with Harrogate and 2-2 with Leyton Orient at the weekend.

In the FA Cup, Grimsby have beaten Plymouth 5-1, Cambridge 2-1, Burton 1-0 and Luton 3-0 in a replay after a 2-2 draw in the original tie.

Match Stats


  • Southampton have lost 6 of their last 8 matches.
  • Southampton have conceded a goal in 8 of their last 9 matches.
  • Grimsby have lost 6 of their last 10 away matches.
  • Grimsby have seen BTTS in 3 of their last 4 matches.

Verdict

You can't back Southampton with any confidence, even as heavy odds-on favourites against minnows from three tiers lower. Grimsby also blow hot and cold, so I'm sticking with BTTS in this match.
