Premier League action for the 2024-25 season gets underway at St. James’ Park on Saturday, August 16. Newcastle will open their new season at home against newly promoted Southampton, as they bid to earn their way back into the Champions League positions.
Before Betting On Newcastle vs Southampton
The 2023-24 season failed to reach the same heights as the previous campaign for Newcastle United, as they eventually finished seventh in the overall standings after finishing in the Champions League positions in the previous campaign. However, they ended the campaign in a pleasing fashion that will bring fresh hope for the forthcoming season.
Eddie Howe continues to be linked with the England job, but the Magpies boss has appeared to rule out a move to the national team during pre-season. Newcastle have also managed to keep hold of many of their top stars, including last term’s top scorer Alexander Isak.
Southampton will be making their return to the Premier League following a one-season absence. The Saints gained promotion back to the top-flight at the first attempt after beating Leeds United in the playoff final at Wembley. However, Russell Martin’s side are among the early favorites to suffer relegation back to the Championship this term.
Southampton have already strengthened across the field this summer, with Adam Lallana, Ben Brereton Diaz, and Charlie Taylor among their new signings. Their form during pre-season has also been impressive enough after winning four of their five matches.
