Southampton vs Newcastle United Prediction and Betting Tips
A struggling Southampton side will look to avoid drifting into the relegation zone as they welcome Newcastle United to St. Mary’s Stadium on Sunday.
Southampton are 17th in the Premier League table after having picked up just 12 points from their first 13 matches of the season. The Saints have just a single win in their last eight games. While Southampton have not conceded heavy losses of late, an inability to win games is starting to become a real problem for them.
They fell to a 1-0 loss to Crystal Palace in their latest outing. Their three wins so far this term have come against Leicester City, Chelsea and Bournemouth. After their game against the Magpies, Southampton will face Liverpool before the World Cup break.
Suffice it to say, they could even find themselves at the bottom of the table when we resume league action in late December.
Meanwhile, their Sunday opponents Newcastle United are fourth in the Premier League table and are unbeaten in their last seven games. That includes five wins and two draws. They are undoubtedly one of the most in-form sides in the English top flight right now.
Eddie Howe’s men defeated Aston Villa 4-0 in their latest outing. A brace from Callum Wilson and goals from Joelinton and Miguel Almiron helped the Magpies cruise to a very comfortable and dominant victory at St. James’ Park.
On current form, Newcastle could blow Southampton away and their recent record at St. Mary’s should encourage them to fancy their chances on Sunday.

Eddie Howe on Bruno asking people to vote for Miggy for POTM:”I thought it was a lovely gesture. I don’t think there was any game attached to that, I think he was genuine in his love for Miggy and feels he deserves the accolade. It sums up Bruno and in part, sums up the team.” https://t.co/mP0XMY08bW
