Newcastle United - Southampton betting tips and odds

With the odds set at 1.42 for a home win, Newcastle United winning is clearly the most likely outcome in this matchup. Bigger upsets have happened, of course, but we wouldn’t expect anything but a decisive home win.

With a price of 11.50 on an away win among most online sportsbooks, it’s clear Southampton will likely not fare well against The Magpies. Even a draw seems to be too optimistic for the away team.

Most online bookmakers expected Newcastle to win the previous round with ease, and it seems they were right. They were playing as visitors at Everton but were largely seen as the stronger team – which they proved to be true with an early lead and a match-long dominance.

Southampton fans are rather disappointed with their latest outing at home. An uneventful deadlock in the first half was followed by an unexpected tiebreaker from AFC Bournemouth, the visitors, resulting in a narrow home defeat.

The home team gives their opponents plenty of reasons to worry about the upcoming fixture. They’re on something of a streak with 5 goals scored over the last 3 matches.

With 6 goals in their own net over the last 3 matches, The Saints’s defence leaves a lot to be desired.

With the Premier League season winding down, The Magpies’s qualification to the Champions League seems all but sure. They’re $16 points behind the leading spot, however, and their odds of taking home another three points after Sunday seem quite decent.

Relegation seems inevitable for the away team, who only managed to gather 24 points over the course of the season. The $ODDS_AWAY_ODDS odds on them winning this bout showcase just how dire their situation is. Especially considering this is one of the last games they’ll get to play.

These two squads clashed more than once this season, and Newcastle recorded multiple wins. As such, the 1.42 odds for a home win are not surprising, even if the wins weren’t particularly decisive.

The visitors have to contend with several injuries. Valentino Livramento, Mohammed Salisu, Juan Larios López are the players that will be missing, which makes the The Saints lineup somewhat weaker than usual. This is made far worse because they were considered undergods going in either way.

We can say with no small amount of confidence that this match will confirm the Over 2.5 Goals market. Both teams fit the bill for such a wager perfectly, so this is a very safe bet, offered at the odds of 1.83 at Betsson.
