Southampton v Newcastle Utd

I am betting Southampton here, without doubt Newcastle Utd are one of the form teams in the league but so are Southampton despite being beaten 4-0 at the weekend away to Villa, Southampton were missing key defender Mohammed Salisu but he is expected to be back tomorrow night and that will be a major boost. Southampton seem to be a team that every now and again everything goes wrong in a match but they have shown they have the ability to bounce back and I expect to see that tomorrow night against a Newcastle side who have a feel of being a little overrated at present due to the good run they’re currently on but they have played teams in the lower half of the table, with victories v Aston Villa, Brighton, Brentford, Everton and Leeds.
Brighton probably deserved a draw on Saturday and on this run the magpies have probably had lady luck on their side more than once but they have improved for sure. I think Southampton is a step up for them and the Saints for me are value to end Newcastle’s good run of form.

Southampton -0.5 min odds 2.03
