10 Key Stats Ahead Of Newcastle United Vs Southampton

1 - Goal Scored By Newcastle Against Southampton In The Last Three Meetings

As those previous results show, Newcastle have only managed to score once in the last three meetings between these sides. In fact, it's fairly generous even to call that "strike" a goal anyway. Fraser Forster was poised to easily collect a deflected Remy Cabella through-ball, only for Florin Gardos to inexplicably slide in and attempt to hook the ball clear. Unfortunately for him, it smashed off the advancing Yoan Gouffran's knee and ballooned into the empty net. Toon fans will be hoping they have similar sort of luck again on Sunday, because their record in recent seasons against Southampton leaves a lot to be desired.
