Live on BTSport 1: Sat 12.45: Southampton are 3/1 (betway) to beat Sunderland ‘to nil’ in the pair’s FA Cup tie.
Sunderland have already reached one cup final this term but with top flight survival heading their priority list the Black Cats are set to see their path to Wembley in this competition blocked by bet365’s 13/10 chances Southampton at the Stadium of Light.
Saints head to Wearside in decent shape, having racked up eight unbeaten matches in all competitions and even though they let a two-goal lead slip to only land a point in the league fixture between the two at the same venue last month, they should have comfortably come out on top in that one and so they look decent value to get over the finish line in this one.
Mauricio Pochettino’s men have kept clean sheets in their last couple on the road and betway’s 3/1 about them prevailing ‘to nil’ isn’t without appeal.
More accurately, they’re 7/1 at BetVictor to grab the only goal and Rickie Lambert, who has been back amongst the goals of late, is a tasty 6/1 at Skybet to break the deadlock.
