The final match of the Premier League weekend takes place in North London, as Tottenham Hotspur look to get back to winning ways against an in-form Newcastle.
Tottenham vs Newcastle
A busy period in the Premier League continues this weekend, as teams play their second matches in less than five days. Tottenham’s excellent start to the campaign has already unraveled, as they are in a fight to hold their position in the current league standings.
Newcastle will be the visitors to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday, as they look for a vital win that could see them end the round in the Champions League spots.
Tottenham vs Newcastle Goals Prediction
Tottenham Preview & Form
Ange Postecoglou made a dream start to life in the Premier League, as Spurs sat top of the standings after the opening nine rounds of matches. However, their form has evaded them in recent months, as they come into this busy period in the season after losing three of their last four. Spurs did at least end a three-game losing run last weekend.
The North London club battled excellently to stun Man City by scoring a late equalizer, with Dejan Kulusevski heading home in the 90th minute. However, the strength of the Tottenham squad will be tested over the coming weeks. Cristian Romero will make a welcome return for Spurs, while Richarlison made his comeback from injury at the Etihad last Sunday. However, the home side will still be without the influential James Maddison until at least the New Year.
Newcastle Preview & Form
Eddie Howe deserves excellent credit for the job that he is continuing to do at Newcastle United, as the Magpies once again sit in a menacing position to challenge for a place in the Champions League spots. Newcastle’s form has improved in recent weeks, as they have three of their last four, and they come into this busy week after winning each of their last two.
However, further injury issues threaten to de-rail Newcastle’s campaign, as Nick Pope was injured in their recent win over Man United. Howe has already revealed that the club will be without their number one for the next four months, with the England international joining Callum Wilson, Sven Botman, and Dan Burn on the treatment table.
Tottenham vs Newcastle Prediction
Newcastle have dominated the previous encounters between these sides, having landed wins in both clashes last term. The latest of those was a stunning 6-1 win at St. James’ Park in April. This fixture has been a high-scoring affair in recent seasons, with an average of five goals being scored per game across the last five.
Given the defensive issues that both sides have to contend with at present, another high-scoring match-up could be likely. Therefore, over 3.5 goals could be among the standout selections for betting on this match. However, Newcastle’s excellent recent run of results is a challenging factor to overlook when assessing the most likely winner, and we could see Howe’s side landing a third straight win against Spurs on Sunday.
- Pick: Newcastle United
- Pick: Over 3.5 Goals
