Season ticket holders at St. James' Park haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Newcastle United languishing in the 16th position so far. The guesting Southampton will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
- Newcastle United have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- Southampton has the most dropped points from leading position (13) in Premier League
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Newcastle United and Southampton.
Newcastle United form and stats
Newcastle United's struggle is real here at St. James' Park with only 11 points collected from 11 Premier League games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 3-2-6. Three consecutive losses here at St. James' Park is hard to swallow for the home team. Both players, staff and the home crowd are desperate to get something from this match.
The Newcastle United fans got no joy from their last match, a Premier League game also here at St. James' Park: A 1-2 defeat against Crystal Palace (placed 13th). Before that match, a win away at Everton.
Newcastle United has scored 12 league goals at home this season, in 11 matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Newcastle defense is not exactly impregnable. 19 goals conceded from 11 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
Southampton form and stats
3 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses. That’s the product of Southampton playing as the away team in the Premier League this season. It's looking increasingly bleak for Southampton who now has to deal with a four game losing streak. Liverpool was the last time a defeat was avoided. Southampton seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?
S. Armstrong was the last player to score for the away team. Southampton haven't scored a league goal in the last 267 minutes.
It might be tough going out on the road again for Southampton, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-9 versus Manchester United (placed 2nd). Preceding that, the 0-1 home loss versus Aston Villa.
As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Manchester United was particularly ugly (0-9). The humiliation is still top of mind. It's a bit worrying for Southampton that their goalkeeper Alex McCarthy made six saves in the Manchester United game last time out, but still couldn't prevent the loss.
Southampton are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 12 away goals from 10 games (in the league). It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. For Southampton, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net. It's worth mentioning that 11 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
Head 2 Head
Newcastle United and Southampton have met before this season: Southampton - Newcastle 2-0. Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: four - three - three (Newcastle wins - draws - Southampton wins). As for goals, seven matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), three had two or less.Top Goalscorers
