Southampton - Newcastle United betting tips and odds

The hosts will have little to hope for in this match. The betting odds work against them and so does the overall impression. They are a weaker side here and it would be a proper upset if they manage to beat Newcastle United.

Though The Magpies are the stronger team between the two, we wouldn’t call an away bet at the odds of 1.95 a safe one. It’s shaping up to be quite an exciting match.

The home side suffered a slim defeat last time in the Premier League. They played away from their home and returned with a one-goal deficit Crystal Palace defeat. Having conceded early on they never got a chance to get back on their feet.

The visiting team won their previous Premier League matchup 4:0 after maintaining a lead throughout the runtime. Their home supporters were likely glad to enjoy the HT/FT victory, but the favourable pre-match betting odds mean that the victory was quite expected.

The hosts will be looking to improve the unexciting impression they left in recent away games. The past two went by with barely any goals to speak of in terms of both goals scored and goals conceded.

The visiting team are doing rather well offensively – at least as far as their latest 3 matches can tell us. They’ve scored more than 5 times in total over the course of these games.

The visitors may be expected to win, but they’ll have to do so without Paul Dummett, Emil Krafth, Matt Ritchie. This tips the scales slightly in the hosts’ favour, but not by much.

The 1.98 on an Away Win are obviously favourable, though it would be presumptuous to say it’s already in the bag. Still, it’s a fairly probable outcome and a good offer to take at bwin in terms of betting value.
