Newcastle to win

Newcastle were 4-1 winners at Southampton in the Premier League in early November and they can establish a first-leg lead over the Saints, who have lost three of their last four home fixtures.

Under 2.5 goals

The Magpies have been rock-solid at the back with nine clean sheets in their last ten matches and another shutout could lay the foundation for a low-scoring success over Southampton, who have tightened up in recent weeks.

Callum Wilson to score anytime

Callum Wilson could do with a confidence boost having failed to score since the World Cup break. But he had a couple of headed chances in the 0-0 draw at Crystal Palace on Saturday and his pace and clever movement mark him down as a major threat to Southampton.
