Southampton vs Newcastle Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 25th January 2025

Struggling Southampton are in for a tough assignment, when going up against The Magpies on Saturday at St. Mary's Stadium. With a string of mediocre performances, at best, it would be astounding to see the former take anything from this encounter.

Southampton are placed 20th with six points after 22 matches. Newcastle occupy a position as fiveth in the league on 38 points.

Southampton are out to avenge a disappointing loss against Newcastle in their most recent meeting. According to the bookmakers, the home side could be in for another tough ride, though as it looks like an fairly unequal pairing at St. Mary's Stadium.

The Magpies scored 25 goals, conceded 13 and managed five clean sheets in their previous ten matches.
