Tottenham Hotspur vs Newcastle Predictions

• Both teams have scored in each of Tottenham’s last five games.
• Spurs have lost three of their last four by a 2-1 scoreline.
• Newcastle have only kept one clean sheet in seven league away games this term.

Wheels fall off at Spurs

After a brief spell in which they were discussed as potential title challengers, the wheels seem to have fallen off at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and they head into Sunday’s clash looking to end a dreadful run of form.

They took the lead for a ninth-successive game in midweek but for a fifth-successive game failed to see out the game, losing 2-1 at home to West Ham to make it one point from the last 15 available for Ange Postecoglou’s side.

Spurs have conceded 13 goals across these five games but, to their credit, remain an immense threat going forward, scoring in all 15 top-flight outings this term.

Magpies look to bounce back

Newcastle were also on the end of a midweek humbling as a resurgent Everton beat them 3-0 at Goodison Park but, following big wins over Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United recently, Eddie Howe will feel his side have a good chance on Sunday.

The visitors are still dealing with a significant injury crisis, though, and they have only kept one clean sheet in seven league away games.

Goals on the cards in North London

That single shutout came against basement-boys Sheffield United and Spurs will pose a much greater threat going forward, making both teams to score an excellent option.

I think Newcastle could defy their underdog status and take the three points, too. Spurs have lost their last two home games by a 2-1 scoreline and Newcastle have proved excellent at dealing with top-tier opponents this term, so a 2-1 correct score prediction appeals.
