In the Round of 16 of the FA Cup, Liverpool will play against a representative from the Championship, Southampton, at Anfield. The match prediction for these teams has been prepared by analysts at Dailysports.
Liverpool
Jurgen Klopp's team continues to lead in the English Premier League, and the previous week proved to be extremely successful for them. Liverpool first defeated Luton in the Premier League, and subsequently, in the final moments of extra time, secured a victory over Chelsea in the English League Cup final. Despite a considerable number of injuries, the Merseysiders continue to impress with their performance. On the way to the FA Cup Round of 16, the "Reds" eliminated Arsenal (2-0) and Norwich (5-2).
Southampton
The "Saints" are currently fourth in the Championship and continue to fight for direct promotion to the English Premier League. However, recent results have distanced them by 5 points from the second-place team. In the last 4 matches, Southampton has only collected 3 points. On Saturday, Southampton unexpectedly lost at home to Millwall, and prior to that, they also suffered a defeat against Hull City in a home match. In the previous rounds of the FA Cup, Russell Martin's team eliminated Grimsby Town and Watford.
Interesting facts about the match and head-to-head history
- Southampton has won only 1 of the last 13 matches against Liverpool.
- The last game between these teams, in the 38th round of the Premier League last season, ended in a 4-4 draw.
- Southampton has not won at Anfield since 2017.
Liverpool vs Southampton prediction
Yes, Liverpool will once again play with an experimental lineup, but nevertheless, I am betting on a victory for Jurgen Klopp's team in regular time.
