Struggling Southampton are in for a tough assignment, when going up against Newcastle United on Sunday at St James' Park. With a string of mediocre performances, at best, it would be astounding to see the former take anything from this encounter.

Sitting two places behind the top of the table, Newcastle United claimed 62 points after 32 rounds. Meanwhile, Southampton amassed 24 points and rank as number 20 in the Premier League at the moment.

Their upcoming match is a difficult challenge for Southampton, who next face Newcastle United in their continuous fight to avoid relegation. They should be highly motivated to spring a surprise, even against a tough opponent like Newcastle United.

Newcastle United scored 23 goals, conceded 13, and pulled off one clean sheets in their past ten matches.

Southampton travel to their next Premier League match, averaging a lowly 0.8 goals per game in their last ten matches. They scored a disappointing total of eight goals, while also conceding 17 goals. That amounts to an average of 1.7 per game, in which they kept their opponents from scoring two times.

Newcastle United had a good reading on Southampton in their last two meetings, which they won by 2-1 and 4-1, respectively.

Newcastle United vs Southampton Prediction

Newcastle United Form

Newcastle United look back on their last three matches with six points to show for their efforts. Against Aston Villa, they were left empty-handed in a 3-0 defeat, but they avenged themselves by beating Tottenham in a 6-1 win. They followed that up with a 1-4 win against Everton in their most recent outing. In their last six Premier League home matches, Newcastle United won four times. They've drawn once and lost once, while scoring 12 and conceding five goals.

Southampton Form

In their past three games, Southampton lost 0-2 against Crystal Palace, drew 3-3 with Arsenal, and lost 0-1 against Bournemouth. In their last six Premier League away matches, Southampton failed to win more than once. In stead, they've drawn two and lost three, scoring four while also conceding eight times.

Newcastle United are in decent enough shape to make them the value bet, when facing Southampton. In their current form, we find it difficult to build an argument for the visitors to steal a point here.

Newcastle United scored 28 goals and conceded nine in their last 16 games against teams from the bottom half of the Premier League table. They collected 34 points and nine victories. Southampton claimed zero wins and four points in their last 11 games against teams from the top six. They scored ten times in these matches, but also conceded 26 goals. Newcastle United so far pulled off a record of 17 wins, 11 draws and four defeats in the Premier League this season. Southampton enjoy a record of six wins, six draws and 21 defeats in the Premier League.
