Southampton worth backing on their travels

Premier League
3pm Saturday

Southampton seem to find it easier playing on the road than at St Mary's and they can claim a vital three points at Newcastle.

Six of the Saints' last nine games are away from home but that might not be a bad thing because they often play with more freedom on their travels.

Newcastle performed a damage-limitation exercise at Liverpool last Saturday in their 2-0 defeat but they are putting themselves under a lot of pressure to win their home games and may not respond in the right way.
