Tournament – FA Cup;
Date – 01/03/2023;
Kick-Off – 19:15 CET;

Although the Saints are struggling in the Premier League, they will easily advance to the latter stage of the FA Cup by beating Grimsby Town, who only have ONE win in their last five League Two matches.
Southampton are lacking a lot at the back and Grimsby Town have scored in five of their last seven games, hence there’s a chance the Saints could win without a clean sheet.
Southampton
The Saints are in dire form, having won one and lost four games in the Premier League including last weekend’s 1-0 defeat at Leeds United. As a result of their poor form this term, Southampton are at the 20th position with 18 points after 24 games.
Grimsby Town
They have underperformed in their last five league matches [1W2D2L] including last weekend’s 2-2 against Leyton Orient. Grimsby Town sit at the 16th position with 38 points after 30 League Two matches.
