Newcastle vs Southampton – Newcastle United will try to duplicate its 0-1 EFL Cup triumph over Southampton. In that game, Newcastle United had 56% of the possession and 3 of its 15 efforts on goal were successful.
Joelinton (73′) was the lone scorer for Newcastle United. The 13 goal attempts Southampton made resulted in 3 goals. The more recent results show how little the Newcastle United defense can do to change the outcome.
As a result of Newcastle United’s tight defense, there have only been two goals scored in their end during the course of their previous six games. However, there is no guarantee that this pattern will hold.
The statistics speak for themselves: Southampton has allowed goals in 5 of their last 6 games, and opponents have scored 5 goals overall. Southampton’s defense hasn’t exactly been very strong.
Newcastle vs Southampton – Betting Analysis
Looking back at their previous head-to-head meetings from 06/11/2020, we can see that Newcastle United won four of them, Southampton won one, and there was one draw.
During those matches, they combined for 20 goals, scoring 12 for The Magpies and 8 for The Saints. That equals 3.33 goals per game on average.
For Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe, Matty Longstaff (knee injury) and Emil Krafth (cruciate ligament rupture) are both unavailable.
Nathan Jones, the manager of Southampton, must make decisions from a group that has some fitness issues. This game will not be played due to injuries to Theo Walcott (calf strain), Tino Livramento (cruciate ligament rupture), Stuart Armstrong (groin strain), and Armel Bella-Kotchap (knee problems).
In our opinion, Newcastle United will be able to generate a sizable number of chances and successful attempts on goal.
Southampton, on the other hand, may struggle to find shooting opportunities, but we believe it’s highly possible that they will score at least once.
