A place in the quarter-finals of the English League Cup will be at stake when Southampton and Stoke City face off at the St. Mary's Stadium on Tuesday.
Southampton have not had many good moments this season. The Saints are the favorites to be relegated from the Premier League this season and find themselves in the League Cup round of 16 only thanks to a penalty shoot-out victory over Everton. Russell Martin’s side prepare for Tuesday’s game after a 1-0 defeat to Man City that increased their losing streak in the Premier League to four matches.
Stoke City are also not in a good position in the second division. The visitors sit in the bottom six, having registered just as many points (12) as the number of games played (12). Narcís Pelach’s side traveled to Sheffield United last weekend with the hopes of going unbeaten for the fifth straight game. The Potters suffered a 2-0 defeat - their fourth Championship loss away from home this season and will be eager to respond against the Saints on Tuesday.
Southampton vs Stoke City Betting Tips: Under 3.5 goals
Scoring goals is something Southampton have struggled with this season and the Saints have found the back of the net fewer times than any other side in the Premier League this season (6) and their goal-scoring record against Stoke City isn’t also good.
Russell Martin’s side scored under one goal in each of their last six meetings with Stoke City and bets on under 2.5 goals were won in all but one of those encounters.
Stoke City have struggled to score goals away from home this season. The visitors failed to score in each of their last four games away at Bet365 and I fancy them to extend that record on Tuesday.
- Best Tip: Under 35 goals
- Southampton vs Stoke City prediction: 2-0

Stoke City team news
Stoke City head coach Narcís Pelach will be without the services of Sam Gallagher on Tuesday due to injury.
Pelach has returned to training following a calf injury that has kept him out since August but Tuesday’s game will come too soon for the forward.
The visitors’ injury list also includes Irish professional Bosun Lawal who is nursing a back injury suffered last month.
