Southampton vs Newcastle Prediction & Betting tips
The two lowflyers Southampton and Newcastle United meet each other this weekend. Southampton is host and will have to take three points when the last team comes to visit.
Southampton:
Southampton is four places above Newcastle United. In other words, Southampton is sixteenth in the Premier League. As expected, The Saints will also have to compete against relegation this season. For the time being, Southampton is not doing badly with six points from nine league matches. The reality is that the gap on the relegation zone is only two points in favor of The Saints. Just like last season, the former club of Ronald Koeman will get it hard again in the Premier League and it is up to Mark Hughes to stay active with The Saints at the highest level.
The Saints lost five times this season, played three times and won at Crystal Palace in early September. Last weekend, the points were shared on a visit to Bournemouth: 0-0. As the score suggests, the duel was not much on. Nevertheless, The Saints were not dissatisfied with the results at the Vitality Stadium; after four games there was again a result booked. The only drawback was that The Saints again had no goal in the Premier League and Southampton has already been dry four games. The last time the goals production stopped as long as Southampton was in 2004. If Newcastle United comes to visit this weekend, Southampton will have to score, because the fans of The Saints expect nothing less than a victory over the last minute.
Newcastle United:
Newcastle United is still in last place after the ninth round. This to the disappointment of Rafael Benítez, who has ever been higher with clubs. Benítez however knew from the first game round that Newcastle United would have trouble in the Premier League and that shows. The Magpies took only two points this season and did not win yet. Huddersfield Town has not won yet and The Terriers have a lower goal difference than Newcastle United, but played three times right. It is up to Benítez to get this Newcastle United up and running quickly, something he did last season.
The Magpies lost in the previous round for the third time in a row. Three weeks ago, Newcastle United gave away a 0-2 lead at Leicester City and last weekend there was more resident for The Magpies. Against Brighton, Newcastle United had the most possession and most shots, but Benítez saw his team still with a 0-1 defeat off the field. It is all typical of the season of The Magpies. Also the way in which Newcastle United got the goal – a long distance shot that happened by chance – shows that the club from Newcastle is not enjoying this season. Something that was the case last season with a final classification in the left-hand row as a positive result.
