Newcastle United v Southampton: Tadic tipped to flex his muscles again
Published:
On a high following back-to-back 1-0 wins over Manchester United in the league and Ipswich Town in an FA Cup replay, the Saints look set to go marching on against a Newcastle team still living in managerial limbo following the departure of Alan Pardew.
Southampton beat Newcastle 4-0 at St Mary’s earlier in the season but Ladbrokes still have the south coast club at 6/5 to win this match with the Magpies 23/10 to claim victory on their home patch with the draw at 12/5.
But before you go lumping on a win for Ronald Koeman’s men, why not have a look at the following three tips, starting with the familiar torso of Dusan Tadic.
He may have made more headlines for showing off his torso after scoring at Old Trafford last weekend but in fairness Tadic has plenty to celebrate, having scored in back-to-back games in the Premier League.
With Graziano Pelle out of form in front of goal the Serbian looks the best prospect to score as part of a win for the Saints and is handsomely priced to do so with Ladbrokes.
The St James’ Park masses have been treated to some goal-heavy contests of late with a 3-2 win over Everton followed up by a 3-3 draw with Burnley and while it may be tempting to back over 4.5 goals being scored again here at 5/1, it’s important not to get greedy.
Backing 3.5 goals being scored therefore looks the obvious solution with Southampton recently celebrating a 3-1 win away at Crystal Palace.
Like Tadic for the Saints, the man dubbed the ginger Pirlo by Roy Hodgson has been amongst the goals for Newcastle of late and looks a good tip to score again here.
The ex-Sunderland man has scored in the Magpies’ previous two home games in the Premier League and is a great price to find the net again here.
