Match preview
Southampton continues to struggle in the current Premier League season. In the last round, the team suffered its 18th defeat, losing 2:3 away to Nottingham Forest. Interestingly, the "Saints" conceded three goals in the first half but managed to close the gap in the second half and even created chances for a draw. However, despite their efforts, the final result was disappointing.
The team's losing streak has reached five matches, and their overall winless run now stretches to 12 games (2 draws, 10 losses). Southampton remains at the bottom of the standings, trailing 10 points behind the safety of 17th place.
Newcastle, on the other hand, recently ended an impressive six-match winning streak in the league, during which they conceded only one goal. In the previous round, the team unexpectedly suffered a heavy home defeat to Bournemouth with a score of 1:4.
This loss cost Newcastle their 4th position in the standings, but the gap from the new fourth-place holders, Chelsea, is only two points. On the road, the "Magpies" have won three recent matches. Overall, Newcastle has recorded five victories and three losses in 11 away games this season.
