Free Multi Bet Tips - Southampton vs Leicester FA Cup Bet Builder Tips and Predictions

Well, for Leicester and manager Andy King, this is a little awkward. Four days after letting a 3-0 lead slip to a 4-3 defeat at home to Southampton, the Foxes face off with the Saints again, this time in the FA Cup, and this time away from home.

Leicester had led until the 61st minute, and even when Ross Stewart netted with 29 minutes remaining, there was little concern in the Leicester ranks - surely, there wouldn’t be enough time to come back, right?

Well, Leicester took their foot off the gas and fell to one of the most embarrassing defeats in their history, rubbing salt further into the wound opened by their six-point deduction, which leaves them outside the Championship relegation zone on goal difference.

The Foxes also enter this fixture winless in their last six games, while Southampton have won four of their last five, drawing the other. Clearly, momentum is on the home team’s side, and barring a stirring turnaround in Leicester fortunes, this result already seems cut and dry.

With a spot in the FA Cup fifth round up for grabs for the winner here, there is plenty on the line, so it is only right that you put something at stake too, so we at Football Park have crafted two distinct bet builders, catering for those looking for both big wins and small profits.

This bet builder was created with talkSPORT Bet, and thanks to a unique promotion going on their website, you can triple your winnings if you follow the steps at the bottom of this bet builder.

Why We Are Backing This Bet

Low Risk

Repeat Offence: Southampton’s morale will be sky-high after their victory over Leicester at the weekend, while conversely, Leicester will have absolutely no confidence to speak of coming into this fixture.

The Foxes' backline looked utterly bereft of any kind of stability, and while Southampton failed to threaten for the majority of the match, they looked irresistible in the final half an hour. If they bring that level to St Mary's on Saturday, Leicester will have no choice but to bow once again to Tonda Eckhert's Saints

Over 1.5 Goals: We could conceivably put over 4.5 goals here and it would still seem reasonable given the result at the weekend. Seven goals scored in their last fixture indicate that both sides are in rich goalscoring form, and that their backlines are fragile at best.

The over 1.5 goals threshold has added weight, as in all of the last six clashes between the two recently relegated sides, two or more goals have been scored, and only one of their last 10 has failed to hit that mark.

Goals for Both: Despite Southampton being clear favourites, Leicester do pose a significant goal threat themselves, and although their opponents boast superior form, the combination of Patson Daka, AbduL Fatawu and Stephy Mavididi won’t allow the Saints to rest easy.

Despite their recent winless run, Leicester have only failed to score twice since the first November, ironically with one of these coming against Southampton - clearly, for all their short comings, Leicester are undoubtedly a goal threat, and will be able to stop the scoreline from getting too embarrassing here.

High Risk

Extra Time Extravaganza: With the abolishment of replay’s, we must now rely on tied games ending in extra time, and if no one can break the deadlock on penalties. While we still maintain that Southampton will take their place in the fifth round, it is a cup tie, stomping ground of the “magic of the cup”, and we know from history that anything can happen.

Freed from the restrictions of sensible league play, Leicester will throw everything at this one, looking to add a silver lining to what has been a terrible season, and though they won’t emerge as victors, they will take it into overtime.

Over 2.5 Goals: Once again harking back to the weekend, there is no way this game is a low-scorer. The fact that it is a one-off cup fixture instead of a “patience is everything” league clash will only add to the intensity, with both sides attempting to pummel each other into submission.

Attack will be the best form of defence here, and with both attacking lineups fully fit and in goalscoring form regardless of previous results, this has the potential to be the game of the round.

90 Minutes of Drama: The drama won’t be packed all into one half either. The very nature of cup games means that sides will push past the barriers of pain and fatigue in a bid to taste success - the pay-out of reaching the next round is too important to miss out on.

With that said, the scoring won’t be limited to what will be a very open first half. If anything, the second period will see even more opportunities as tiredness and lapses in focus start to take affect - we could be primed for some stoppage-time drama.

Goals for Both Again: As with the low-risk bet, it seems that this is the safe leg for the high-risk. The math dictates that if goals are to be scored in both halves, and Southampton are to win in extra time, then both sides need to find the net at least once.
