Southampton vs Newcastle Premier League Prediction Match Details
The Premier League action continues with matchday 23 games on Saturday as relegation-threatened Southampton will welcome Newcastle United to St Mary’s Stadium. Can the Magpies further dent the Saints’ hope of survival?
Southampton Preview & Form
Southampton remains the worst team in the Premier League this season, with the Saints having won just one of their 22 Premier League games this campaign, and their chances of returning to the Championship next season are increasing. The Saints are now on a five-match losing streak, with the most recent being a 3-2 defeat against Nottingham Forest at City Ground. Ivan Juric’s men sit at the bottom of the EPL standings with six points, having suffered their 18th defeat so far in the league. They have the worst defense in the division, having conceded 50 goals while also scoring the lowest in the league.
Under pressure, Ivan Juric’s men have also lost each of their last six home league games and have only picked up four points from their home games this season. They have conceded two or more goals in five of their last six home games.
Newcastle Preview & Form
Newcastle United saw their impressive record nine-match winning streak across all competitions come to an end last weekend as the Magpies were humbled 4-1 by Bournemouth on their home soil. Eddie Howe will be hoping his side can now bounce back to avoid back-to-back defeats for the first time since October. Prior to last weekend’s defeat, the Magpies attacking frontline has scored at least two goals in each of their last 11 games across all competitions. Currently, the Magpies are tied on 38 points with Manchester City, just two points separating them from a Champions League place.
Eddie Howe’s men have impressively won each of their last three road games, beating Ipswich 4-0, United 2-0, and Tottenham 2-1. They have scored two or more goals in their last four away games and kept two clean sheets.
