Newcastle – Tottenham Betting Tip, Prediction & Odds (23.4.2023)
The Champions League qualification race is heating up, and Sunday’s battle between Newcastle and Tottenham has a lot on the table for either side. The hosts would get themselves in a strong position with an eventual victory, while Tottenham cannot afford a loss in order to keep pace with Newcastle and Manchester United.
Newcastle vs. Tottenham: Initial Situation
The top four teams will qualify for the 2023-24 UEFA Champions League. Newcastle are fourth in the Premier League with 56 points (W15, D11, L4) and a 48:24 goal difference, and the Magpies trail third-placed Manchester United by three points. Tottenham are fifth with 53 points (W16, D5, L10) and a 57:45 goal difference, but both Manchester United and Newcastle have a game in hand on the Lilywhites.
Newcastle Stats & Form
The Magpies put an end to their five-game winning streak last Saturday, suffering a 3-0 defeat against Aston Villa on the road. During their terrific run, the Magpies have beaten Brentford 2-1, West Ham 5-1, Manchester United 2-0, Nottingham Forest 2-1, and Wolves 2-1. In six league matches at home since the World Cup break, Newcastle have recorded three victories, a pair of stalemates, and a loss to go with a 6:4 goal difference.
Miguel Almiron leads the way for Newcastle with 11 goals this season. Callum Wilson has accounted for ten goals and four assists, Alexander Isak has bagged eight goals, and Joelinton has six goals and three assists on his season tally. Wilson, Isak, and Joelinton have scored a couple of goals apiece over Newcastle’s last three league matches.
Tottenham Stats & Form
The Lilywhites have registered a 2-1 home win against Brighton, a 1-1 draw versus Everton on the road, and a 3-2 home loss to Bournemouth since sacking Antonio Conte. Under caretaker manager Cristian Stellini, Tottenham proved their inconsistency, as the Lilywhites have been pretty much a hit-or-miss all season long. Tottenham are winless in six straight road matches in all competitions, tallying a couple of draws in the process.
Last Saturday, Heung-min Son and Arnaut Danjuma found the back of the net in a disappointing home defeat against Bournemouth. Son now has 12 goals and four assists on his account, while Danjuma has bagged a couple of goals in just six appearances in 2022-23. Harry Kane has 25 goals and four dishes on his season tally, and the 29-year-old superstar has found the back of the net in four of Tottenham’s last five league contests.
Newcastle – Tottenham: Head-to-Head
Newcastle beat Tottenham 2-1 as 3.20 road minnows in their first meeting of the season. Harry Kane scored for the Lilywhites, while Callum Wilson and Miguel Almiron netted for the Magpies. It was Newcastle’s first win in six matches against Tottenham, and the Lilywhites have recorded three wins in that stretch.
Newcastle – Tottenham Odds
The bookmakers like the hosts in this match. I was expecting to see Newcastle around 2.10, but the Magpies are sitting at 1.88 on Unibet Sportsbook at the moment. Unibet also offers the best odds for the visiting team (4.35), while Both Teams to Score YES pays 1.75 at bet365 Sportsbook.
Newcastle’s defense is among the best in the league and has allowed the fewest goals so far this term. But Tottenham are third in the Premier League in goals for, so I’m expecting the Lilywhites to score in a very important clash against the Magpies. My best Newcastle vs. Tottenham betting pick would be Both Teams to Score YES, as the visitors’ leaky defense will have a tall task to record a clean sheet. Each of the last six encounters between Newcastle and Tottenham has seen both teams score.
