Tottenham Hotspur
Tottenham Hotspur made an unsuccessful trip to Manchester United last weekend, losing 0:2. The team certainly helped the hosts, going down to 10 men after half an hour. It was a seventh successive league match without a win (4 draws and 3 defeats). Tottenham Hotspur also failed to score for the first time in six matches. The club sit in the lower half of the standings and have only a six-point cushion over the nearest side in the relegation zone.
- Both teams scored in five of the previous six Premier League matches involving Tottenham Hotspur.
- Tottenham Hotspur have conceded at least two goals in each of their last five league games.
- Tottenham Hotspur have failed to win 10 of their last 11 home Premier League matches (4 draws and 6 defeats).
Potential Tottenham Hotspur Lineup (4-3-3)*
Guglielmo Vicario – Archie Gray, Joao Palhinha, Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven – Wilson Odobert, Conor Gallagher, Destiny Udogie – Xavi Simons, Pape Matar Sarr, Dominic Solanke.
Midfielders Lucas Bergvall, Rodrigo Bentancur and James Maddison, defenders Pedro Porro and Ben Davies, as well as forwards Richarlison, Mohamed Kudus and Dejan Kulusevski remain out injured. The availability of defender Djed Spence and midfielder Destiny Udogie is in doubt. Defender Cristian Romero is suspended for four matches.
Newcastle United
The team also lost last time out. Playing at home, Newcastle United were beaten by Brentford, conceding the decisive goal late on (2:3). It was a third straight defeat in the league. Newcastle United last had such a run in the Premier League in January 2024. It is also worth noting that the team have shipped as many as seven goals across their last two Premier League matches. The club also sit in the lower half of the table and have four points more than Tottenham Hotspur.
- Newcastle United have failed to win 13 of their last 15 away Premier League matches (5 draws and 8 defeats).
- Newcastle United have scored more than one goal in only two of their last 15 away Premier League games.
- Newcastle United have failed to win the first half in seven straight league matches (2 draws and 5 defeats).
Potential Newcastle United Lineup (4-3-3)*

Defenders Fabian Schar, Valentino Livramento and Emil Krafth, as well as midfielder Joelinton, will miss the match through injury. The participation of forward Anthony Gordon is in doubt.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Newcastle United: Match Prediction
A meeting between two teams representing the Premier League in the Champions League. In Europe, both clubs reached the play-offs without too much trouble, but in the domestic competition the opponents have been far more disappointing so far. With each round, the two sides are drifting in sync away from a coveted place in the top four, and one of the issues has been their long winless runs in the league. Moreover, both clubs have started conceding noticeably more — two or more goals have gone into the net against Tottenham Hotspur in their last five Premier League games, as well as in Newcastle United’s last three league matches.
We would suggest this match could also be a relatively high-scoring affair. At least three goals have been scored in five of the last seven home league matches for the London side, and in six of the previous nine away Premier League games for Newcastle United. In addition, three or more goals have been scored in the last 10 head-to-head meetings in the Premier League.
Prediction: Over 2.5 goals
