Southampton vs Lincoln City – Betting Analysis

When Nathan Jones agreed to leave Luton Town for Southampton, he was aware that he would only be in charge for one game before a lengthy break due to the World Cup.

Nonetheless, the new Saints head coach may have been satisfied with a break to prepare for a vital six-month time for the club.

Jones’ goal is to keep Southampton in the Premier League, where they are two points away of safety and have only collected five points in their last ten games.

Southampton needed penalties to advance to the final 16 of this competition after being held to a 1-1 draw by League One heavyweights Sheffield Wednesday.

Southampton have recently returned from a training vacation in Spain but have yet to play any friendly matches ahead of the resumption. In terms of Lincoln City, this competition gives them a chance to make atonement after losing in the FA Cup to non-league Chippenham Town.

Since that setback, Mark Kennedy’s team has only lost one game in seven, including victories over Bristol City in the EFL Cup and Everton Under-21s in the EFL Trophy.

The weekend postponement has slowed the Imps’ progress, though Kennedy may have been content with an unexpected recuperation period ahead of the rigorous schedule ahead.

Despite winning four of their ten away games in the third division, Lincoln have lost their last two league away games to Port Vale and Shrewsbury Town, respectively.
