Premier League: Southampton @ Newcastle United

What will be the match result?

Southampton: Win

@ Newcastle United: Win or Draw

 

Current odds:

Southampton: Win: (+140)

Newcastle United: Win or Draw: (-188)

 

Newcastle spurned a 1-0 lead over Crystal Palace on Tuesday night and ended up losing 2-1. They have lost seven of their last eight matches.

For the second season in a row Southampton have been thrashed 9-0 in a Premier League match. Ralph Hasenhuttl’s side bounced back superbly from a 9-0 loss to Leicester last season and will now aim to do the same following defeat to Manchester United on Tuesday.

Southampton couldn’t have asked for better teams to face immediately after a trouncing than this Newcastle but injuries and suspensions have decimated their squad. They had to name two goalkeepers on the bench against United just to fill their quota.

Steve Bruce is having a tough time as Newcastle manager and anything other than three points against a Southampton side that just got beat 9-0 would plunge his job into further doubt. The Magpies have at least won their last three home games against Southampton.
