Newcastle v Southampton betting tips: Saints bid to end jinx

Ralph Hasenhuttl’s side created several good opportunities against Manchester United at St Mary’s last Sunday, but only had an own goal from Fred to show for their efforts.

Saints are 9/5 to win the game and the draw is available at 12/5 in Newcastle v Southampton betting tips.

Massive shift from everybody, plenty to take from that. Amazing to get that feeling from a full St. Mary’s again. Let’s take it into next week 💪🏽🔴 #saintsfc pic.twitter.com/YSXW4xkPg5

Newcastle v Southampton head-to-head

Newcastle have lost just one of their last 16 home Premier League games against Southampton (W12 D3) and won their last four. They are 4/9 to win or draw the game on the Double Chance market.

No less than 11 of the last 15 meetings have seen three or more goals scored in total and it is 4/5 that this is the case again.

In the last 18 meetings, the home side has lost just twice. For a bigger price in Newcastle v Southampton betting tips, it is 3/1 for the game to end in a score draw, which has been the case in nine of the last 10 stalemates between the two sides since 1973.

Newcastle v Southampton key battles

Southampton need to do a better job of securing what they have. Since Hasenhuttl took charge in December 2018, Saints have dropped 62 points from winning positions in the Premier League, at least 12 more than any other side in that time.

They opened the scoring in both of their league matches this season but failed to win either, and Newcastle are 11/1 to win from behind, while it is 24/5 that Newcastle win after drawing at half-time.

Newcastle will hope to keep a tight rein on Adam Armstrong. He has looked sharp since arriving from Blackburn after scoring 28 goals in the Championship last season, although he missed a simple chance against Manchester United.

He scored on the opening day against Everton and is 2/1 to score at any time or 12/1 to score two or more.
