Southampton form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Southampton so far with only 14 points returning home. The records show 4-2-10 (win-draw-lose).

The manager Salvador was unhappy after their last game, played at their home ground St. Mary's Stadium. Southampton suffered a 0-1 loss to AFC Bournemouth (placed 14th). Bednarek, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 7.61. Bednarek won 6 of 8 duels.

A 3-3 draw at Arsenal's stadium before that.

We have done a similar check as we did with the hometeam, looking up recent matches where Southampton played away with similar odds. This revealed 5 games. The visitors overcame the odds to win 1 time, 2 were draws and the home team won as expected 2 times.

The visitors have scored 12 goals from 16 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Southampton have conceded 26 goals in these games.

Head 2 Head

Newcastle have won every one of the 4 latest battles against this opponent. Another win today?
