Torquay United Football Club doesn't appear to be a particularly happy place to be at present, with new chairman Chris Roberts doing little to endear himself with the fans as the team finds itself rapidly becoming cast adrift at the foot of League Two.Several players have left the club in recent weeks, with the chairman's reluctance to put his hand in his pocket seemingly a key factor.
He also appointed a new inexperienced manager in the former Czech international Lubos Kubik, in a move that seemed to have more to do with past friendships than any professional basis.
Since overcoming Leyton Orient in the last round of the Cup after a replay, Torquay have gone on to lose five league games on the bounce, failing to score a single goal themselves in the process.
That hardly bodes well against a team of Southampton's qualities, who harbour genuine hopes of a return to the Premiership.
With players such as Grzegorz Rasiak and Gareth Bale in the visitors' ranks, the 19-20 available with Bet365 on Southampton -1 on the Asian Handicap looks a decent punt, ensuring that you would get your money back if The Saints win by a one-goal margin and that you collect a full win should they win by two or more.
