FA Cup Betting Tips: Liverpool vs Southampton
Liverpool look to continue their Cup run and maintain their quadruple chase as they host Championship side Southampton in the FA Cup fifth round.
The Reds have already bagged the EFL Cup, defeating Chelsea in a thrilling extra-time final at Wembley. The victory marked the first step in their ambitious quadruple attempt. The FA Cup is next on their agenda, and with Liverpool in red-hot form, Southampton should be pliable opponents.
Jurgen Klopp’s side have been on a winning spree, securing victories in their last four games, three of which were in the Premier League. Despite facing injuries to some key players, Liverpool’s depth and resilience have shone through, with the team losing just one game in all competitions in 2024. Their current winning streak has led bookmakers to place them as the second favourites to win the FA Cup this season. This wouldn’t be new territory for Liverpool, an eight-time champion, who last claimed the FA Cup in 2022 in a penalty shootout victory over Chelsea in the final.
With the quadruple dream still alive, Jurgen Klopp’s men will likely be highly motivated for this FA Cup tie, especially considering it will be Klopp’s final hurrah in the competition at the helm of the Reds. Klopp would surely love to cap off his tenure at Anfield with a final journey to Wembley, potentially lifting the FA Cup in May.
On the other hand, Southampton have been struggling to arrest a slide in their form. They’ve lost three of their last four league games, most recently falling 2-1 to Millwall at home. This slump has jeopardized their quest for automatic promotion from the Championship, and manager Russell Martin will need to find a way to turn things around quickly.
However, that renaissance will not happen at Anfield on Wednesday.
Betting Tip: Liverpool to Win & Over 2.5 Goals
28/02 21:00 Liverpool – Southampton Liverpool to win & Over 2.5 Goals @ 2.11 (Bet9ja)
Considering the factors above, our recommended bet is Liverpool to win and over 2.5 goals. The Reds are in excellent form, boasting an impressive win record and a strong desire to add another trophy to Klopp’s farewell collection. Southampton, conversely, are in poor form. Despite the renowned “magic of the Cup,” the main question is: how many goals will the Saints concede at Anfield? We suspect it might be a bucketful.
