Southampton vs Newcastle Preview
Southampton
Ivan Jurić’s arrival at Southampton is yet to have the desired impact, as the Saints remain on course to break the unwanted lowest points record in the Premier League. Southampton come into this round of matches after conceding at least three goals in their last three league outings.
However, there are reasons for optimism based on their last two outings. Southampton looked more structured in a 3-4-1-2 formation against Nottingham Forest on Sunday, limiting their high-flying rivals to an xG of just 2.36 in the 3-2 defeat.
However, scoring goals has been a continued issue throughout the campaign, scoring just ten times from an open play xG of 19.77. That could leave them vulnerable against a Newcastle side that have been defensively sound throughout much of the season.
Newcastle
Eddie Howe’s Newcastle endured a rare off day in the Premier League last weekend, as they were put to the sword by a clinical Bournemouth in the form of a 4-1 defeat. Despite that loss, the Magpies have still won four of their last five, and they could move back into the Champions League spots this weekend.
Howe will be sweating on the fitness of Alexander Isak, who is nursing a small injury issue. Newcastle were restricted to an xG of just 0.84 in that loss against the Cherries, but they should have the quality to get back on track this weekend.
Overall this season, Newcastle have accumulated an xG of 31.12 from open play, scoring 31 goals. Defensively, they have also been sound throughout the season, conceding just 22 goals from an open play xGA of 29.39.
Southampton vs Newcastle Prediction
- Pick: Newcastle to Win
- Odds: -238 (20Bet)
- Score prediction: Southampton 1-2 Newcastle
Southampton’s performances have improved in recent weeks, but it will be a major concern that they are still shipping too many goals at the opposite end of the field.
Newcastle, on the other hand, will be hoping for a quick return to form, and they should have the attacking quality to cut through the Saints defense at ease.
The head-to-head record also favors the chances of an away win, with Newcastle having won each of their last four against Southampton, and five of the last six.
Southampton vs Newcastle Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Over 2.5 Goals
- Odds: -213 (20Bet)
As the odds would suggest, over 2.5 goals looks to have an excellent chance of being a winning Southampton vs Newcastle prediction this weekend. The Saints have seen an average of 3.4 goals per game scored in home matches this season, conceding a staggering average of 2.7 per match.
Due to the potential absence of Isak, the pressure to score on Saturday for Newcastle could rest on the shoulders of Anthony Gordon. The winger has scored six in 21 appearances this season and has accumulated an xG of 8.20 from his 2.45 shots per 90.
