Newcastle v Tottenham Betting Preview

Tottenham’s season isn’t done just yet. They need a point as they go into this two points above rivals Arsenal in the race for second spot. Because of Tottenham’s superior goal difference, all they need is a point to see off the Gunners in the battle for runners up. Newcastle were relegated in midweek without kicking a ball, as Sunderland took a win over Everton, which sent the Magpies and Norwich both down to the Championship along with Aston Villa. Will Tottenham get their precious point now that Newcastle have nothing to play for?

Newcastle v Tottenham Betting Tips

Newcastle were dealt the hammer blow of relegation in midweek as their rivals Sunderland managed to take a win over Everton. That meant that Newcastle would be following Aston Villa and Norwich down to the Championship. It would be understandable if they were a little flat for this game. Newcastle have suffered just the one loss in their last eight Premier League home games, and they have won four of those as well. So decent form but obviously not good enough to keep them up. The Magpies have only managed to beat Spurs in one of their last five at St James Park against the Lilywhites in a W1 D2 L2 record. The Magpies will likely be a bit defeated for this, so it’s hard to picture them having their tails up. Newcastle have managed to earn just the one clean sheet in their last 22 Premier League matches against Tottenham as well. There is a quote of 8/13 on both teams to score in the match. The Magpies are on their best run of unbeaten form since November 2014 having gone five unbeaten.

They suffered a blow of a 0-0 draw against Aston Villa last weekend, those two unexpected dropped points really hurting the Magpies. The only thing they have left now is a bit of pride to play for and if they could beat Spurs, they would likely do Arsenal a huge favour in the race for a second place finish. Newcastle have netted a goal in each of their last eight Premier league home games and Rafa Benitez has certainly tightened up their defence with three clean sheets in their last five. Given their record against Spurs though, it’s debatable as to whether or not they will stop the fluent Tottenham attack on Sunday. Only champions Leicester (38) have picked up more points away from home than Spurs this season (34) and Tottenham have netted a massive return of 33 away goals this season too.

The Lilywhites have only suffered the one defeat in their last seventeen top flight away games, winning nine of those games in that sequence. Their home loss against Southampton, which was on the back of that heartbreaking 2-2 draw against Chelsea previously (which cost Spurs a shot at the title), snapped a nine match unbeaten streak in the Premier League that Tottenham were on. Overall though, Tottenham have been in some wonderful form and they have won five of their last eight Premier League away games and have allowed fewer shots on target against them than any other team in the Premier League this season (112). Spurs are 9/4 to go out and put on a show and win to nil in this one. Harry Kane is a quote on 5/6 in the anytime goalscorer market and the England man needs one goal in this game to equal the record for most away goals in a Premier League campaign, currently held by Kevin Phillips with 16 in 1999/00.

Newcastle v Tottenham Predictions

Hard to see the interest of enthusiasm that Newcastle will have for this game. Spurs have something to play for in needing a point to get second place locked in. They are good value though to go the whole way and put the three points on the board. The Lilywhites have been superb out on the road.
