Southampton vs Grimsby Prediction
Southampton Form
Southampton lost two of their last three matches, as they went down 2-1 in a meeting with Wolverhampton. They replied by beating Chelsea 0-1, before losing again, this time 1-0 against Leeds. Southampton showed little mercy in their past six matches at St. Mary's Stadium, of which they won five, drew none and lost once. They hit the target 11 times, while letting in seven themselves.
Grimsby Form
Grimsby are unbeaten in their previous three matches, winning 1-2 against Northampton, before sharing the points in a 0-0 draw with Harrogate Town. Another draw followed, this time 2-2 against Leyton Orient. Grimsby won twice, while also recording one draw, and three defeats in their last six away matches in the FA Cup. The scoreline from these matches says nine goals conceded and ten scored.
We expect Southampton to make home advantage count but equally, we do not expect a festival of goals against Grimsby. Hence, our punt on the home win in a match with no more than three goals.
