In the previous round of the FA Cup, Southampton faced severe resistance from Coventry City. Ralph Hasenhüttl's charges managed to outplay their opponent only in extra time - 2:1. After that meeting, the Saints showed themselves excellently in the next four matches in the English championship - three wins and one draw. Southampton climbed to ninth place in the English league standings thanks to the latest results.

West Ham also had to solve the question of reaching the last 16 in extra time. David Moyes' wards played away against Kidderminster. In the closing minutes, the Hammers escaped defeat and scored the winning goal in the final stretch of extra time, 2:1. Since that game, West Ham has played four games in the EPL. The Londoners picked up two wins and two draws. West Ham has lost their position in the top four and is now fifth.

• West Ham United have kept their goals empty in their last three away matches against Southampton.
• In six of Southampton's last seven matches in the FA Cup, a total under 2.5 worked out.
• In Southampton's last three home games against West Ham, the line "total under 2.5" worked out.

Southampton is approaching the cup meeting in great shape. Not surprisingly, Ralph Hasenhüttl's charges are considered the favourites for the upcoming game. West Ham, of course, is not a weak opponent. Moyes' team will play until the end to win. This match is worth thinking about the total over goals, as it happened in the last head-to-head encounter. As the main bet, I suggest productive playing. I also expect that Southampton will beat their opponent at home
