Prediction, Odds & Betting Tips for Newcastle vs. Tottenham at English Premier League
Newcastle and Tottenham open the English Premier League round 33 this Saturday. The hosts are after a spot that would lead to either the Europa League or the Conference League, while on the other hand, the Spurs want to keep the fourth position in the Premier League, which would secure them the Champions League next season.
Newcastle
The Magpies caught their rhythm in the past three rounds, collecting seven points during this stretch, and showing improvement in all the areas on the pitch. After beating West Ham at home in a crazy game, 4-3, they played 1-1 vs. Everton, also at St. James’ Park, and then triumphed at Craven Cottage, taking down Fulham with a minimal result, 0-1.
As you can see, the team oscillates a lot, and they don’t have the consistency that characterized this unit at the start of the year. The inexperience of playing on several fronts and thin roster eventually emerged as the main reasons for this.
Newcastle is solid at home, having 10 wins in 16 matches, with three losses and three ties, scoring 39 times while, on the other hand, conceding on 20 occasions.
Tottenham
Ange Postecoglou’s unit finally took over the fourth spot in the EPL standings, and now controls the destiny when it comes to the Champions League participation next year. Tottenham has the same number of points as Aston Villa, but a game in hand and a tiebreaker against the former European champs.
They, too, have seven points collected in the latest three appearances, winning against Luton, 2-1, and Nottingham, 3-1, while recording a tie on the road vs. West Ham, 1-1.
The Spurs’ defense is not good at all, with them providing just one clean sheet in the previous 10 contests. Eight of them were with hits on both ends, while only one didn’t end with three or more goals.
Newcastle: Dubravka; Krafth, Schar, Burn, Hall; Longstaff, Guimaraes, Anderson; Barnes, Isak, Gordon
Tottenham: Vicario; Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Udogie; Sarr, Bissouma; Johnson, Maddison, Werner; Son
Tottenham destroyed Newcastle in the opening game of the year, 4-1. It was revenge for last season’s humiliation at St. James’ Park, where the Magpies rolled over the Spurs 6-1.
Eight straight head-to-head games between these two units concluded with goals on both ends, while seven throughout that interval saw over 2.5 goals.
There should be goals on both sides in this event because that’s the most frequent occurrence when either Newcastle or Tottenham hits the pitch. The odds might not be as high as some would expect, which is why we added over 2.5 goals to this pick.
Our verdict: Both teams to score and over 2.5 goals
