Southampton vs Newcastle 24.01.2023

The heroic moment for Southampton as they eliminated Manchester City from the EFL Cup with a 2-0 win. Will the good fortunes come again at St. Mary’s when Nathan Jones leads his men to defeat another challenging team in this tournament? Their recent failure to level with Aston Villa during the EPL fixture on Saturday might have exposed their weakness as they go into this fixture but still there is hope for the Saints to be a fortress in this first leg, as they have never been too easy when they host their rivals in Southampton. This could be one of the toughest games as they are facing the compact wall of the Newcastle United defense line.

Recent EFL games show a difficult pattern to score a goal at St. Mary’s stadium in this tournament but Newcastle could be aiming to skip losing another trophy after exiting the FA Cup. They are into the semifinal of the EFL for the first time since the 1970s. Their recent form gives a lot of hope to Newcastle United fans that they can handle Southampton on the road. There is already a big scramble for the EPL title and this could be the main catalyst to witness a fierce play to hunt for a winning goal.

We are predicting no more than 3 goals as Newcastle United remains undefeated.
