Southampton receive massive boost with incredible stat before FA Cup clash | OneFootball

Incredible AiScore stat shows Southampton have won all five of their previous matches against FA Cup opponents Swansea City.

The third round of the FA Cup has begun. This is the most exciting part of this tournament when all Premier League clubs kick off their FA Cup campaign.

Likewise, Southampton will also be in FA Cup action against Swansea City on Sunday. Given a Championship opponent that too at home, this should be an easy fixture for the Saints.

Still, upsets happen in the Cup and Southampton know it better themselves. In the 1975/76 season, the Saints entered the FA Cup as a second division team but surprised everyone by lifting the title after defeating Manchester United.

Therefore, Southampton can't take Swansea City for granted. Still on a positive note, the Saints have an incredible stat going before Sunday's clash that will give them a massive boost.

According to AiScore, Southampton are currently on a five match winning streak against Swansea. That includes a brilliant 5-0 win last season, when both teams were playing in the Championship.

Furthermore, the Saints have scored three goals each in the previous four consecutive occasions against the Swans. This will give enough confidence to manager Ivan Juric and the rest of the team heading into the FA Cup.

Recently, a number of regular starters like Aaron Ramsdale and Kyle Walker-Peters have been the subject of transfer interest from other Premier League clubs. Hence, Juric has a good opportunity to name a rotated lineup and give minutes to some of the young players.
