Southampton vs Grimsby prediction and top betting tips
As a Premier League side with home advantage, Southampton should cruise through this game without too many concerns. Will they? Find out with our Southampton vs Grimsby match preview with free tips, predictions and odds mentioned along the way.
Southampton vs Grimsby Prediction 1: Grimsby to win +2
We kick off our predictions for this game by backing Grimsby to win this game – but only with a plus two handicap. Southampton should win this game but their form is awful and that isn’t just something they can turn off. Combine that with the game plan that Grimsby, who are unbeaten in three, are likely to bring into this match and it’s hard to see Southampton getting over the line with much room to spare.
Southampton vs Grimsby Prediction 2: Over 2.5 goals
Our next prediction for this game comes from the total goals market and we are expecting this match to produce at least three goals as we back over 2.5. Southampton have seen three of their last five games go north of that 2.5 cut off whilst Grimsby have seen three of their last four matches break the aforementioned 2.5 threshold. Things look even better when focussed on the specific home and away form with each of Southampton’s last two going over 2.5 and Grimsby not going under 2.5 goals on the road in 2023.

So, that gives you some insight to how the different bookmakers see the action unfolding. How though do the Southampton vs Grimsby odds translate into probabilities ahead of this game? Let’s find out.
Southampton odds: 1/3 (1.33) – 75%
Draw odds: 13/3 (5.33) – 19%
Grimsby odds: 8/1 (9.00) – 11%
Southampton don’t come into many games as odds on favourites these days but that is exactly what they are here and at 1/3 (1.33) you’d probably suggest the bookies have called this just about right. That being said, given how sloppy the form has been for Southampton of late, a shock is far from off the cards and, as such, there could easily be money arrive for a Grimsby win.
Check out the predicted lineups ahead of Southampton vs GrimsbySouthampton
With Southampton staring relegation from the Premier League in the face, the big question ahead of this game is whether or not they go with a side that is anywhere close to full strength. On one hand, this is a great opportunity to go deeper in the FA Cup and to generate some positive momentum around the club but, equally, they won’t want to lose any key players through injury. We’re anticipating a blended XI.
Predicted lineup – Caballero, Walker-Peters, Maitland-Niles, Bednarek, Caleta-Car, Djenepo, Walcott, Armstrong, Diallo, Mara, Onuachu
Grimsby
Grimsby might not be flying right now with just one win in their last five but they are unbeaten in three and with a couple of giant killings already under their belt they will fully believe they’re capable of giving a good account of themselves at St Mary’s – especially with the Saints out of form. Expect the strongest possible XI to be named and, don’t be surprised, if it’s a team set up to frustrate and counter.
Predicted lineup – Crocombe, Maher, Waterfall, Smith, Efete, Holoha, Morris, Green, Amos, Clifton, Dadomo

Player to watch
The obvious thing to do here is to wax lyrical about a Southampton player, however, we want to shine a spotlight on one of the Grimsby stars instead. Step forward Harry Clifton. The 24-year-old midfielder scored twice in his sides last FA Cup double header as Grimsby saw off Luton following a replay whilst he has 10 goal contributions for the season to his name. Whether or not he can help his team win this game remains to be seen but he’ll certainly be able to showcase some of his qualities during this game.
