Southampton v Arsenal odds<\/h2>\n
The bookies expect Arsenal to get the win, and that can be backed at 3\/10. The Gunners are also priced at 2\/1 to win the FA Cup, making them the current favourites.<\/p>\n
Southampton are massive underdogs for this quarter-final tie and a home win is available at 11\/1, while they are 50\/1 to lift the trophy in May.<\/p>\n
A draw is priced at 5\/1, and the game will go to extra time if the scores are level after 90 minutes.<\/p>\n
Southampton v Arsenal prediction<\/h2>\n
Southampton are currently one of the most in-form teams in the Championship, having won nine and drawn three of their last 12 games in the second tier.<\/p>\n
That run has taken Tonda Eckert\u2019s side from 15th to sixth in the table as\u00a0they look to win promotion via the Championship play-offs.<\/p>\n
It will be a tough away trip for the Gunners, who may also have one eye on next week\u2019s Champions League quarter-final first leg against Sporting CP.<\/p>\n
But they should still have enough strength in depth to get past Southampton, and we\u2019re backing Arsenal to secure a narrow 2-1 win over the hosts.<\/p>\n
