Newcastle vs Tottenham Hotspur Predictions

• Tottenham have only won one of their last seven Premier League away games.
• Newcastle have won their last two home games against Spurs by an aggregate scoreline of 10-1.
• The Magpies are unbeaten in nine home league matches.

Home crowd could be key

Newcastle were taken to penalties at Nottingham Forest in the EFL Cup in midweek but home advantage may be enough for them to claim all three points when Tottenham come to town on Sunday.

The Magpies won their only home game of the season – albeit unconvincingly – against Southampton and they can draw confidence from a strong home record against Spurs, who have lost their last two visits to St James’ Park by an aggregate scoreline of 10-1.

The most recent of these defeats was a 4-0 thrashing in April, which makes up part of Newcastle’s ongoing nine-match unbeaten run in league competition at St James’ Park.

Spurs set for tough trip to the north east

Tottenham did get up and running with a 4-0 battering of Everton last weekend, but they drew their opener away at the newly-promoted Leicester and their only away win in their past seven attempts came against last season’s bottom-placed finishers Sheffield United.

Ange Postecoglou’s side have lost four of these trips, and they look worth opposing on their latest trip to the north east on Sunday.

Games involving these sides were some of the highest-scoring affairs in the league last season, but the same can’t be said this term. Newcastle have scored exactly once in all three affairs this season and Tottenham’s only away game ended 1-1, so a repeat of the Magpies’ home opener looks a good value correct score pick.
