Southampton vs Newcastle United Preview

• Tournament: English Premier League
• Date: Saturday, January 25
• Kick-off Time: 03:00 PM GMT
• Venue: St. Mary’s Stadium, Southampton, Hampshire. 

The bottom-placed Southampton FC is about to host an in-form Newcastle United FC next. It’s expected to be one of the toughest challenges for the hosts, who have only managed to win one game in the English Premier League 2024-25 after playing 22 of them. The side has just six points, and if they don’t hit a winning spree, which looks unlikely, a relegation to the EFL Championship is inevitable.

Visitors to Newcastle United FC are in excellent form. The Magpies are also here after playing 22 games. They have 38 points and are standing sixth. The side has won four of their last five games, except the last one, where they dealt with a surprise loss against AFC Bournemouth. The Eddie Howe managed side is always a threat to any EPL side, and are definitely the favourites against a downtrodden Southampton FC.

Both clubs should be desperate for a win here. The hosts would ideally be hoping to avoid humiliation, but they must also aim for a win in order to get some hope for coming out of the relegation zone. Newcastle United are to go for a big win here, with hopes of entering the top 4 zone.

Key Players to Watch in Southampton vs Newcastle United

Cameron Archer (Southampton FC)

The 23-year-old English striker hasn’t ideally been that special ever since his arrival at the club this season. He had only two illustrious moments when he scored a goal each in two back-to-back matches. One of those goals came against giants Arsenal FC.

He has been awful but still, the club has no other chance to better the attack, so it is expected that he will get another chance. He should take this as a good chance to showcase his prowess, because lately, he has been ineffective, with the last five games amounting to a xG of 0.

Anthony Gordon (Newcastle United)

Amid late interest from giants Arsenal FC (as per reports), it would be interesting to see how the No. 10 performs. The winger has been good with goal contributions, scoring six and assisting four in the EPL. He accounted for 26% of the total goals his club struck in the league this season.

The player has been good lately with three goals, and an assist in the last five games, with an impressive xG of 1.8. He should be eyeing this as an opportunity to strike a brace.

Southampton vs Newcastle United Prediction

Newcastle United FC are expected to have an easy win, as they have a great form and a much stronger squad. Southampton FC with their long list of injured players and awful form stands no chance.

Predicted Score: Southampton FC 1-6 Newcastle United
