Newcastle United - Tottenham Hotspur predictions

A quick look at the betting odds with some of the biggest bookmakers online is enough to tell you who the favourites are. Priced at 1.73, a home win seems the obvious choice. An upset is not quite impossible, mind you, which adds a small degree of risk but is ultimately food increasing profits.

The visitors would need to pull off quite a stunt in order to come out victorious. They are severely outmatched in this outing – the 4.64 away win odds alone should speak volumes.

Having won their last league outing, the hosts are feeling optimistic ahead of their Tuesday fixture. Newcastle United punched above their weight to claim a resounding Everton away victory. This triumph came after a level half which tells us that Newcastle have plenty of drive in them and that they are ready to put up a fight when it’s most important.

Tottenham Hotspur lost their most recent Premier League match despite playing at home, which was obviously not the outcome their supporters were hoping for. The betting odds implied they had a fairly good chance of winning, but they quickly lost momentum due to an early-game concession.

The Magpies have a notably poor defensive record when it comes to playing as visitors. We’re mostly referring to the 5 conceded goals over their latest 3 away games. They are playing as hosts this time around, but you should be aware before you put down any money.

The away team’s defensive record is slipping. They’ve conceded more than 5 times in their previous 3 Premier League engagements. This, at least, points to this match as a decent choice for something like an Over 5 Goals bet.

The hosts are in a solid position as number 11th in the standings, but more is expected of them. Another 3 points here will do great in getting them closer to the top, which seems like a likely outcome.

As clear underdogs in the game on Tuesday, Spurs will have to fight hard just to defend their number 10th table position. It’s too early in the season to accurately predict how it will all play out, though, so they can still hope for a Europa Qualification, which is currently 3 points away.

This is the second time we’re seeing these two sides clash this season. The first game went Newcastle’s way, albeit with a difference of only one goal. Still, such a record makes it easy to see why they’re the favourites this time around.

Tuesday's match will see both teams at their strongest, with no players missing due to injury or suspension.

Our advice is to stay on the safe side and go for the Over 2.5 Goals market. It’s reliable, very probable, and available at odds of 1.70 if you use the 888Sport sportsbook.
