Southampton vs Grimsby Town Prediction and Betting Tips | March 1, 2023

Southampton host Grimsby Town at the St. Mary's Stadium on Wednesday (March 1) for a place in the FA Cup quarterfinals.

Having lost three Premier League away games on the bounce, the Saints will look to pick up a morale-boosting Cup win in midweek.

Southampton’s hopes of beating the drop suffered another setback, as they fell to a 1-0 loss against fellow strugglers Leeds United on Saturday.

While the Saints have endured a horror campaign in the Premier League, they beat Crystal Palace and Blackpool 2-1 in the first two rounds to reach the FA Cup fifth round.

Southampton, who have lost three of their last four home games, are rock-bottom in the Premier League, four points off safety.

Meanwhile, Grimsby were involved in a share of the spoils for the second straight game, as they played out a 2-2 draw with Leyton Orient last weekend. They're winless in four of their last five games, with a 2-1 victory over Northampton Town on February 18 being the exception.

Grimsby will now turn their focus to the FA Cup, where they saw off Plymouth Argyle, Cambridge United and Burton Albion before beating Luton Town in a fourth-round replay.
