Friday, Southampton receives Newcastle on the occasion of the 8th day of the Premier League. Both teams want to confirm their good start to the season.
At ease, Southampton is currently 5th in the Premier League with 13 points taken in 7 games. The Saints got off to a bad start by losing their first 2 league games. They have reacted since evidenced by the current series of 5 unbeaten games (4 wins and 1 draw). Very convincing, the partners of Danny Ings notably scratched a point in the lair of Chelsea (3-3) before winning against Everton (2-0) and on the lawn of Aston Villa last weekend ( 3-4).
With a record of 3 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses, Newcastle is doing quite well at the start of the season and is 11th in the Premier League. The Magpies still alternate the good and the less good. Since the international break, they have been beaten, at home, by Manchester United (1-4) before aligning 2 games without a setback. Newcastle took a point at Wolverhampton (1-1) before gaining the upper hand, at home, over Everton last weekend (2-1).
For Southampton, the promising Smallbone and the defender recruited this summer Salisu are unavailable for this meeting. In addition, left on an injury last weekend, the providential scorer Danny Ings (5 goals and 2 assists in the league) is also forfeited. In the midfield, the Spaniard Romeu and the Englishman Ward-Prowse form a good team this season. In the absence of Danny Ings, it is the Irish Shane Long who could be associated with Adams (2 goals and 2 assists).
For Newcastle, last season’s No. 1 goalkeeper Dubravka, midfielder Shelvey and potential holders Ritchie and Gayle remain stranded in the infirmary. Recruited during the off-season to fill the offensive gaps of the Magpies, striker Callum Wilson (6 league goals) quickly established himself as the major offensive asset of the team. He could again be associated with the former Niçois Saint-Maximin.
This meeting will be played behind closed doors.
Confident, Southampton has the assets to gain the upper hand over Newcastle this Friday. Southampton victory!
