I am going with Newcastle again, even though they let me down with a narrow 1-2 defeat in the game vs. Crystal Palace, where they were perhaps the better team and surely deserved better. Apart from trusting in Newcastle's form and momentum, I am also happy to seize the chance and oppose Southampton due to their current status. The infamous 0-9 defeat against Manchester United in midweek definitely hit a lot of headlines across the world and put both the manager and his players under heavy pressure. The trick here, of course, is the fact of same scoreline defeat a season ago against Leicester. A unique achievement like this does not come very often.

If I recall correctly, Southampton did not instantly bounce back from their mad defeat against Leicester, so it's pointless to expect this squad to recover in a matter of a few days. The lack of time to analyse what had happened in this intense schedule should surely play against Southampton.

Visitors are in free fall in the EPL table having lost 4 games in a row. So the embarrassment at Old Trafford was more of a cherry on the cake than something unexpected. Their casualty list is still relatively big with as many as 3 important regulars rated questionable apart from 5 confirmed missings.

Newcastle may finally field their creative winger Maximine from first minutes as he's returning to full fitness. Wilson and Almiron are in fine form in attack. They were good both against Everton and Crystal Palace. With St.Maximine getting added, Newcastle must have enough quality to hurt this wrecked Southampton side.

There should be a move for Newcastle on the day of the match. Current odds really represent decent value. Fun fact, Southampton's failed to pick any points from their last 2 visits to Newcastle Upon Tyne.

我会继续选择纽卡斯尔，尽管他们在和水晶宫的比赛中1-2惜败让我失望，他们可能是更好的球队，当然也应该更好。除了相信纽卡斯尔的状态和势头之外，我也很高兴抓住机会和南安普顿对抗，因为他们现在的状态。周中对曼联的那场臭名昭著的0-9的失利无疑成为了世界各地的头条新闻，给教练和他的球员们带来了巨大的压力。当然，这里的诀窍是一个赛季前以同样的比分击败莱斯特的事实。像这样独一无二的成就并不经常出现。

如果我没记错的话，南安普顿并没有从对莱斯特的疯狂失利中迅速恢复过来，所以指望这支球队在几天内恢复过来是毫无意义的。在如此紧张的赛程中，没有时间来分析发生了什么，这应该是对南安普顿的比赛。

客队已经连续输掉4场比赛，在英超积分榜上排名一直在下滑。他们的伤病名单仍然相当庞大，除了5名确认缺席的球员外，有3名重要的常规人员也可能缺席。

纽卡斯尔可能会派边锋马克西姆首发，他已经完全康复。威尔逊和阿尔米隆的进攻状态很好。他们在对埃弗顿和水晶宫的比赛中都表现出色。随着前锋马克西米恩的加入，纽卡斯尔有足够的实力来击败这支残败的南安普顿。

有趣的是，南安普顿在过去两场客场对阵纽卡斯尔的比赛中都没有拿到一分。看好纽卡斯尔得分。
