The Saints avoided losing four straight league games as they picked up a point in a 0-0 draw at Bournemouth last weekend.
Southampton though are still winless in their last five and have just a W1 D3 L5 record overall this season.
They will be on the search for their first home win of this season as well having only picked up the two points from two games at St Mary’s this term.
The Saints have failed to score in two of their four home games and they have not scored a goal in any of their last four in the top flight.
Under 1.5 goals is at 7/4 odds* (betting odds taken on October 24th, 2018 at 6:30 pm) has plenty of appeal in Southampton v Newcastle predictions.
Overall this season in action at St Mary’s, Southampton have produced just the three goals and two of those were in one game, a 2-2 draw with Brighton.
Given the lack of scoring from the two sides here, both teams not to score is at 3/4 odds* (betting odds taken on October 24th, 2018 at 6:30 pm).
Southampton have won only one of their last fifteen home matches in the Premier League.
The Saints have shipped at least two goals in each of their last three home fixtures.

Newcastle News and Form
Newcastle have lost six of their last seven matches now after a bruising 1-0 home defeat against Brighton last weekend.
That was another huge disappointment at St James’ Park where they don’t have a single point this term. The Magpies are D2 L2 away from home.
Newcastle have failed to score in three of their last four league games now. Both of their points earned this season were in 0-0 draws at Cardiff and Crystal Palace.

All three of Newcastle’s away goals this season have been in the first half hour of games.
The Magpies have not been trailing at half time in any of their road games so far. The half time draw is at even money odds* (betting odds taken on October 24th, 2018 at 6:30 pm).
All but one of the away goals that Newcastle have conceded this season have been after the half time break.
Newcastle are currently sat ten points worse off than they were after nine games of last seasons’ top-flight campaign.
The Magpies are winless in their last seven Premier League top flight away games (D2 L5) and have won just one of their last twelve (D4 L7)
Southampton v Newcastle Predictions
Southampton to win: We haven’t come across too many opportunities to back the Saints for a win in this one, but they have to be the value option in this one. Newcastle’s result last weekend says everything about them. Home win.
