SOUTHPORT +145 (To Win in Full Time) over Kings Lynn Town

Haig Avenue – Southport, England

England National League North

United Kingdom Soccer

11:00 AM ET. Let’s start with the obvious. Southport sit at the bottom of the National League North table, firmly in the relegation zone. That alone makes the Sandgrounders a hard sell before we go any further. Add in the fact that Southport suffered a gut-punch defeat on Tuesday night—level 2-2 late against Peterborough Sports before conceding a late winner at Haig Avenue—and this becomes an even tougher side to back at first glance.

Southport have just 8 points. Kings Lynn Town, the Linnets, have 14. Another big selling point against the team from north of Liverpool. On top of that, Kings Lynn have won the last three meetings between these clubs, home or away, and Southport didn’t score a single goal in any of those contests. By every surface-level metric, Southport should be a significant underdog here. And yet, they aren’t.

Despite the standings, despite recent heartbreak, despite the head-to-head history, Southport enter this fixture as the favorite to win in full-time. That is the tell. If not for their current table position and perceived form woes, Southport would likely require juice here. Instead, we get a reduced price purely because their stock has been beaten down so far.

There is also the famous home-pitch factor. Haig Avenue is notoriously difficult, especially once the English autumn truly sets in. This time of year, a trip to the coast is not just about distance—and Norfolk to Southport is no short journey—it’s about battling that brutal seaside cold and the whipping coastal winds blowing in off the Irish Sea. Kings Lynn must travel far, adjust to the elements, and bring a performance capable of punching through one of the trickiest environments in this league. When we combine recency bias, travel, weather, and market positioning, we are getting Southport at a bargain in a spot where they should be favored by more. Sandgrounders win big.
