Southampton v Millwall tips – Saints marching into 5th round of FA Cup Visit Betfred Save For Later Posted by Bettingpro Staff 6 Feb 2012 Tweet (credit: Laurence Griffiths/Getty Images) Related Articles See all FA Cup newsSheffield Wednesday v Blackpool tips – Tangerines looking for cup revenge Share it Pin It Southampton will need a second bite of the cherry to see off a Millwall side who were fortunate to earn a replay against SaintsRickie Lambert looked to have booked the Saints a place in round five back in late January only for Darius Henderson to bag an 86th-minute equaliser and force the replay at St Mary’s.It was the last thing that either side wanted, with the south coast club battling for promotion to the Premier League and the Londoners in the thick of a relegation scrap.Despite their position in the Championship table, Southampton have stumbled of late and have taken just five points from their past five games.And with that in mind it would seem that boss Nigel Adkins will rest a few of his stars as they look to keep their two-point advantage over third-place Cardiff City in the standings, with a clash against play-off chasing Burnley at the weekend.Millwall are five points above the drop zone at present but boss Kenny Jacket knows only too well how quickly his side could slip into the bottom three and it is unlikely that he will put out his strongest side either.And they will go into the match with no form whatsoever, with four defeats in their past five Championship outings, including the 6-0 mauling at home to Birmingham City.They lost 2-1 to neighbours West Ham on Saturday and the alarm bells will certainly be ringing at the Den that it could be a real struggle to avoid slipping into League One.A cup run would certainly help to boost the players’ confidence but Jacket will probably want to put all his eggs in one basket and just concentrate on picking up league points.It would be wrong to say that these clubs could do with losing this match and they will undoubtedly be giving it their all to win, but both managers could probably do without the distraction of the cup with so much at stake elsewhere.Match prices: Southampton 4/6, Millwall 4/1, draw 11/4 Read our Betfred review Get your £50 free bet at Betfred now Like Like Post to wall 131 Reads All Football News Recent Football Articles Chelsea FC win 2011-12 FA Cup05 May 2012Chelsea won the 2011-12 FA Cup after beating Liverpool 2-1 in a thrilling final in which Didier Dro FA Cup Final Result – Chelsea beat Liverpool 2-105 May 2012Didier Drogba continued his remarkable Wembley record as Chelsea denied Liverpool a domestic cup do The 7 Best Pictures on FA Cup Final Day05 May 2012Liverpool and Chelsea fans have descended on Wembley for what promises to be a memorable FA Cup fin Chelsea FC team to play Liverpool FC in FA Cup final (confirmed)05 May 2012Chelsea manager Roberto Di Matteo has opted to start Didier Drogba and Frank Lampard for this eveni FA Cup Final 2012: Pepe Reina attacks Chelsea's treatment of Fernando Torres05 May 2012Pepe Reina believes his former Liverpool team-mate Fernando Torres has not been given enough suppor FA Cup final 2012: Petr Cech prepared for penalties05 May 2012Petr Cech has revealed he will rely more on guesswork than homework if the FA Cup Final between Che More Stories Recent Articles WTA Strasbourg Final live - Francesca Schiavone and Alize Cornet25 May 2012Francesca Schiavone and Alize Cornet are scheduled to meet on Saturday for an eagerly anticipated Eurovision Song Contest 2012 Guide - Spain25 May 2012Spain have the best draw and a powerful performer but they face an uphill struggle to win Eurovisio Eurovision Song Contest 2012 Guide - Germany25 May 2012Germany's entry is one of the most professional of Eurovision 2012 but it Roman Lob's song Standing Irish 2000 Guineas Betting Tips - Who'll Win the Irish 2000 Guineas?25 May 2012Trainer Aidan O'Brien is responsible for four of the 11 colts that will go to post for Saturday's I Norway v England First Goalscorer Cashback at Boylesports25 May 2012Boylesports are continuing their popular First Goalscorer cashback promotion on Saturday's internat League One Play-off Final First Goalscorer Cashback at Boylesports25 May 2012Boylesports are continuing their popular First Goalscorer cashback promotion on Saturday's League O More Stories Tags
