Match Preview
It has been a miserable campaign for Southampton to this point, as wins have been a rarity for the Saints throughout 2024-25. Ivan Juric’s side come into this weekend after winning just once in 20 Premier League outings, while they have suffered a league-high of 16 defeats.
Southampton have also lost their previous three, with their most recent loss coming in the form of a 5-0 hammering at St. Mary’s at the hands of Brentford.
A cup upset could be on the cards this weekend, as Swansea have been consistent throughout their Championship campaign. The Swans have won nine of their 26 matches this season, and confidence would have been gained from their late fightback to save a draw against West Brom last Saturday.

Swansea and Southampton will be colliding in the FA Cup for just the second time this weekend, with the Saints winning the previous encounter in the third round in 2021-22. Meanwhile, the Swans have suffered defeats on their last four trips to Southampton. That includes a 5-0 loss in December 2023.
The Saints also boast a positive record in the third round, winning each of their last five since going out to Derby County in 2018-19. Meanwhile, Swansea have suffered elimination at this stage in each of their last seven matches against Premier League opposition.
Southampton vs. Swansea Picks
The trends certainly point toward a home win this weekend. However, it is hard to support the Saints at such a short price based on their performances this term. Therefore, we could see the Swans achieving a minor cup upset by claiming victory at St. Mary’s.
