Newport vs Southampton Predictions


Southampton were in good away form during pre-season. They should edge past a stubborn Newport. I am backing a Southampton win and under 2.5 goals.

  • Southampton have won 2 of their last 3 away matches (all competitions)
  • Southampton have seen under 2.5 goals in 11 of their last 14 matches (EFL Cup)
  • Newport have seen under 2.5 goals in 14 of their last 16 home matches (all competitions)

Head-to-Head


Southampton have a 17-4 advantage against Newport in 31 meetings with 10 draws. 

Newport Form


Newport bounced back from a 2-1 defeat against Mansfield Town and beat Tranmere Rovers 1-0 away on Saturday.

Despite just 44% possession, Newport hit the woodwork twice before Alex Fisher scored the winner on 60 minutes. 

It was a third 1-0 victory in four matches for Michael Flynn’s side. They return to Rodney Parade for the first time this season to face Southampton after stadium renovations. 

Newport Injuries & Team News


Forward Alex Fisher is doubtful with an injury. 

Southampton Form 


Southampton held Man United to a 1-1 draw at St Mary’s after a disappointing opening day 3-1 loss at Everton.

The Saints soaked up pressure against United with just 36% possession and eight shots. Ralph Hasenhüttl’s side took the lead through an own goal in the first half before conceding early in the second period. 

Southampton are unbeaten in four of their last six in all competitions, including big pre-season wins against Swansea (3-1) and Cardiff (4-0).

Southampton Injuries & Team News


Midfielder William Smallbone and defender Sam McQueen are sidelined due to injury. 

Ralph Hasenhüttl is expected to make changes. Ibrahima Diallo, Jan Bednarek, Nathan Tella, Nathan Redmond, Kyle Walker-Peters and Armando Broja could start.

Verdict

Southampton will have a strong side, even with wholesale changes. They should edge past League Two Newport. I am backing a 1-0 Southampton win.
