A giant killing is possible at The Lamex Stadium as Stevenage of League 1 host Premiership new boys Southampton.

Neil Adkins may sacrifice the cup early on to concentrate on all important points in the top league. Something Stevenage might be able to take advantage of.

 

Form:

Stevenage       P4 W3 D1 L0 GF6 GA2 -Top Scorer - L.Akins 2.

Southampton P2 W0 D0 L2 GF2 GA5 - Top Scorer - R.Lambert 1.

 

Stevenage play a very disciplined 4-4-1-1 formation with the emphasis being on collective effort and organisation. Very accomplished defensivley and boasting a very good striker at this level in Lucas Akins they have a chance at an upset in this game.Southampton have two losses in the opening two matches but had two different performances. They looked fresh and played a good game in the 3-2 loss away to champions Man City. Second match was a bit dissappointing with them outplayed at home to Wigan. They have played well in patches in both games but they need to be more consistent over the 90 minutes if they want any chance of remaining in the top flight.

 

Betting Prediction - Really difficult to predict this one with all outcomes in with a chance. In a game like this its best just to keep a watching brief.
