Tottenham will be hoping to keep their chances of European qualification alive when they travel to St James’ Park to take on Newcastle on Wednesday.
Jose Mourinho’s team are two points adrift of Sheffield United in the final Europa League spot, with Manchester City’s successful appeal against their Champions League ban reducing the number of qualification places available.
Newcastle vs Tottenham Latest Odds
Having pulled off a big 2-1 win over Arsenal in last weekend’s North London Derby, they are 3/4 (1.75) favourites with bet365 to follow that up with another victory here.
However, the Magpies have lost only to Manchester City in their last nine matches on home turf, and can be backed at 18/5 (4.60) to come out on top.
Five of the most recent seven fixtures at this ground have resulted in draws, and there are odds of 14/5 (3.80) on this one also finishing up all square.
Newcastle vs Tottenham Team News
Ciaran Clark, Sean Longstaff, Isaac Hayden and Andy Carroll are all ruled out, although Florian Lejeune could be back in contention following injury.
Juan Foyth is injured and Eric Dier suspended, while Serge Aurier is unlikely to feature following the tragic death of his brother on Monday.
Newcastle vs Tottenham Preview
While their home form this season would have them in fourth, Spurs’ away record is worse than 12 other teams - having won fewer matches on the road than relegation-battling West Ham.
This does not bode well for a game against Steve Bruce’s men, who have proved tough to beat in their own back yard and are playing under no real pressure with nothing at stake.
Newcastle vs Tottenham Tips and Predictions
On target 11 times in six matches since play resumed, Newcastle look well worth the 10/11 (1.91) odds to help ensure over 2.5 goals for their seventh home meeting in eight with a Tottenham team that has only kept four clean sheets in 24 away games in all competitions.
