The visitors have been firing on all cylinders and have seen three of their last four matches end with over 2.5 goals, hence our prediction for another high-scoring affair.
One cannot deny that Lincoln City are starting to adapt to life in the Championship following their promotion from League One.
It was a poor start to the second tier, suffering two consecutive defeats against Middlesbrough and Portsmouth. During this period they conceded five goals.
The Imps have since steadied the ship, picking up four points from their next two matches. A 1-0 away victory to Bolton Wanderers was followed by a goalless draw against ten-man Blackburn.
As for Southampton, they have gone three games without defeat after a slow start that saw them drop points in a 2-1 away loss against Watford.
In their most recent match, the Saints failed to capitalize on their dominance over Birmingham on the road and had to settle for a 1-1 draw.
Before this, they thrashed Millwall 5-1 at home, highlighting their attacking prowess and the threat they pose in front of goal. Notably, they boast the second-best offensive record in the Championship, indicating that this matchup could produce some fireworks.
