Southport vs Fleetwood predictions and betting tips for tonight’s FA Cup first round fixture including an over 2.5 goals bet, anytime scorer and BTTS and win selection.
The final FA Cup tie of the weekend sees Fleetwood make the short trip around the coast to Southport and we’ve got the best three betting tips for the match.
Fleetwood remain the only side in League One to have scored in every single game this season. Uwe Rosler has made a huge difference since his arrival in the North West. Last season, The Cods struggled to make the breakthrough and lacked firepower, but it’s a different story this time around. They’ve been troubling the top half of the table and unless there is a drastic loss of form (it can happen – see Doncaster last season) it’s hard to see them fighting relegation. They did lose to Bristol Rovers in midweek despite taking the lead in that encounter. Ashley Hunter has been impressing with his performances and is being watched by scouts from Premier League clubs. Southport beat Chester in their qualifying match to get to this stage and set up a tie with Fleetwood. The National League side failed to score in their opening two games of the season before claiming their first win of the season against Woking. A barren run resulted in the departure of player-manager Andy Bishop and things have improved since then. They have won their last four in all competitions and have picked up seven points from the last nine in the National League.
Southport vs Fleetwood Betting Predictions
Fleetwood are quite a short price here, but Southport are in form and should make this difficult for the visitors. I think the Cods will win, but won’t have it all their own way so my first Southport vs Fleetwood prediction is for Fleetwood to win and BTTS.

Over 2.5 Goals Tips
Goals have followed Fleetwood around this season and 9 of their 16 games have finished with three or more goals in them. As have their last three so I’m getting on over 2.5 goals for my second Southport vs Fleetwood betting tip in the FA Cup.

Anytime Goalscorer Tips
Jamie Allen started his career at Fleetwood and will be desperate to show the club what they are missing. He’s been in decent form for Southport and could get on the scoresheet here to complete our Southport vs Fleetwood tips.
Jamie Allen anytime goalscorer – 15/4 with Bet365.
Southport vs Fleetwood Team News
There shouldn’t be much reason to change a winning team after Southport triumphed 2-1 over Torquay at the weekend.
James Caton, who played for Blackpool for a short period of time came on from the bench and netted the winner and will be hoping he’s done enough to earn him a start.
Eggert Jonsson made his first appearance in the best part of a month against Bristol Rovers and will be looking for a continued run in the side. Ashley Hunter has surely nailed down a place after his recent goalscoring exploits.
The ‘Competition for places’ was praised by a number of Fleetwood players recently and that could see a few of the fringe players vying for a start here.
Southport vs Fleetwood Head to Head
These sides have played two club friendlies recently with Fleetwood winning the latest one 3-1. They drew 1-1 back in 2014. They met competitively back in 2012 with Fleetwood winning 6-0!
