Newcastle v Southampton Betting Preview
Southampton haven’t won at St James’ Park since 1997, when a typically superb Matt Le Tissier volley was enough to separate the sides. But they smashed Newcastle 4-0 twice in 2014. They’ve won their last two matches 1-0 away from home including a 1-0 win against Manchester United, allowing just one shot on target in doing so. It’s no wonder they have by far the meanest defence in the division.
However, Victor Wanyama’s injury is of significance. Newcastle may have more joy in front of goal as a result. It’s also not to be ignored that they’ve scored six times in the last 146 minutes of home action. This match feels like a good opportunity for Newcastle to get some confidence back after they failed to capitalise on their magnificent win over Chelsea, losing four on the spin immediately after it.
So, my verdict for my Newcastle v Southampton prediction is a score draw. 1-1 or 2-2.
For our betting tips we will go for one of the two and given Newcastle’s shyness in front of goal we will bet on the 1-1 score at odds of 6/1 with William Hill who will refund your bet if it ends 0-0.
There are plenty of good ways of toddling around those scorelines while not going directly for them, most obviously Both Teams to Score, which is a generous 10/11 with William Hill.

In addition, an interesting statistic is that Newcastle have only scored six of their 25 goals in the first half. However, half of those have come in their last two home games and I’m backing them to do it again.
Newcastle to score at least once in the first half is 6/4 with Coral and that is certainly a bet that fits the stats so we will be backing.
