Southampton will have a great fitness test before Brighton's visit next Monday in the Premier League as the Saints take on League One side Lincoln City in the League Cup on Tuesday. Southampton are sitting in the relegation zone with 12 points from 15 game weeks since August. The Premier League regulars have failed to win 12 of their 15 games played and have conceded 27 goals in the process, which is the second-worst defensive record in the competition at the moment. Lincoln City, on the other hand, have done their best to stay afloat in the English third tier. With six wins and nine draws from 20 games, they are 14th in the League One rankings with a game in hand. There are some soccer tips daily win for you when you join us

Southampton vs Lincoln City Betting Pick #1: BTTS

Southampton are on possibly their worst-ever start lớn the season in a long time and the main reason is their shambolic defending. Despite putting in five defenders at the back, they have not kept a clean sheet in 12 of their 15 games played which are really poor by the standards of the players who form the backline. We believe that Lincoln City will continue their record of scoring against five of their last seven opponents and breach Southampton's defence at least once on Tuesday night.

Southampton vs Lincoln City Betting Pick #1: Home/Over 2.5

If Lincoln City are to score in this game, it will definitely take 3 or more goals on the night lớn proceed lớn the next round for Southampton. Southampton too have scored against 4 of their last 5 opponents, and they are the favourites lớn beat this visiting opposition which is two levels below them in the English footballing hierarchy. Thus, this game should see over 2.5 goals while tending towards a Saints win. Players can watch best free soccer tips in our forum
