Newcastle vs Southampton Bet Builder Tips
Newcastle to win, over 3.5 goals, Alexander Isak to score and over 2.5 fouls for Bruno Guimaraes was 10/1 with Sky bet at the time of publishing.
Newcastle missed out on Europe last season but they were still a formidable outfit at St. James’s Park.
They won 12 of their 19 home games, with those games seeing an average of 3.74 goals so Eddie Howe’s side to win and over 3.5 goals in the match looks solid here.
We are also backing Alexander Isak to find the net. The Swedish striker scored the third most goals in the Premier League last season with 21.
Bruno Guimaraes was the most persistent fouler in Newcastle’s ranks in the last campaign, making 50 fouls in the league.
