Big Saturday Multiple: Saints good FA Cup value to march on

Ronald Koeman's side will be keen to grab a spot in the fifth round today

We're eyeing three games from three competitions today - the FA Cup, the Championship, and League Two...

It's FA Cup weekend - and we're eyeing the all-Premier League tie between Southampton and Crystal Palace for our first selection of this multiple.

Home boss Ronald Koeman has readily admitted that he won't prioritise this competition over the league - but I don't think we need to read too much into that.

The facts are that his Saints side is unbeaten in eight outings, winning six of those, and he will want to avoid a bubble-busting loss at all costs.

His side struggled to a 1-0 win against Ipswich Town last week, but they haven't lost in nine of their last 11 at St Marys - winning seven and drawing two.

And a 2-1 win at Newcastle United on Saturday will give them much confidence heading into this clash.

Visitors Crystal Palace head to the coast having experienced a similar upturn in form under Alan Pardew - indeed, he's still unbeaten since returning to Selhurst Park.

His side swept past Dover Athletic 4-0 to reach this stage of the tournament - but Pardew has long been accused of undervaluing the competition during his time at Newcastle, and it will be interesting to see how his side lines up this afternoon.

Indeed, Palace have only won five of their last 28 clashes with top-level opposition, and that could see the Eagles fall short here.

And no goals scored in four of their last six on the road suggests that they might struggle to breakdown a Southamton backline which has shipped just one goal in their last three.

Bet 1: Southampton (HOME) @ 1.618/13

Into the Championship now, where Wolverhampton Wanderers welcome Charlton Athletic to Molineux.

The home side going into this game unbeaten in seven of their last eight outings, and that has lifted Kenny Jackett's charges into eighth place in the table - just a single point off the play-off positions.

Three home league outings without defeat indicates that the West Midlands side are on a roll at the moment, and five goals notched, alongside just two shipped in that time, underlines just how strong they are going forward.

But what will delight their manager the most will be the five clean sheets from eight outings of late - a run that suggests that the hosts have really tightened up a rearguard which was causing them all sorts of problems just a couple of months ago.

Visitors Charlton make this trip with new boss Guy Luzon at the helm - but his tenure got off to a nightmare start, as they got thrashed 5-0 by Watford last weekend.

That result leaves the Addicks languishing in 16th place in the table - and was their fourth loss in a row.

But it's not just conceding which is causing the south London side problems. Charlton haven't even scored a goal in four of their last five league games, and that dry run suggests that they could well struggle to penetrate a Wolves defence which has weighed in with some stellar performances in recent weeks.

Bet 2: Wolves (HOME) @ 1.574/7

And finally, we're off to York, as the Minstermen welcome an in-form Burton Albion side to Bootham Crescent.

The hosts line up for this clash sitting in 19th position in the bottom tier, but are just one point outside the drop zone, and that will have them desperate for three points on home turf.

But three games without a win suggests that Russ Wilcox's side are low on motivation and momentum - and even worse, they've not even managed a goal in that time.

It's been a miserable season for the York fans - they've only notched up a single win on their own patch ALL SEASON - a shockingly poor stretch that might have their loyal faithful searching desperately for their season ticket receipts.

Visitors Burton Albion, meanwhile, are tasting success at the right end of the table, and head to this encounter having won three of their last four.

Jimi-Floyd Hasselbaink's charges have really found their feet under the Dutch ex-striker's stewardship, and could even go top of the table with the right result today - just a single point splitting them from leaders Wycombe.

The Brewers aren't quite as dominant on the road as they are at the Pirelli Stadium, but even so, their recent record is not to be sniffed at. Four unbeaten from five away from home suggests that they're more than capable of grinding out a result here.

The last time these two sides met, Burton ran out comfortable 2-0 winners - and I reckon this one has a yellow win all over it.

Bet 3: Burton Albion (AWAY) @ 2.68/5
