Tottenham Prediction
Before Wednesday’s match against Watford at Wembley, most people would have fancied a Tottenham win despite their growing injury list that includes their leading goalscorer Harry Kane, but Spurs found themselves 1-0 down to Watford with just 10 minutes left on the clock.
South Korean striker Son (9 goals) having returned from Asian Cup duty, fired Tottenham level before Kane’s replacement, Llorente scored a last-gasp winner for the hosts who return to Wembley for Saturday’s game against Newcastle United.
Following back-to-back cup defeats in the League Cup and FA Cup, Tottenham have now recorded back-to-back wins in the Premier League with recent wins over Fulham and Watford and along with an earlier victory against Cardiff City, this means the hosts have won three of their last four in the top flight.
Turning to Tottenham’s home form now, and they possess an overall record of 7-0-4 20/11 which has improved of late but the fact still remains that Spurs have conceded in 8 of their 11 home matches this season as question marks are still raised over Tottenham’s defence.
- Tottenham have won 3 of their last 4 at home in the Premier League
- Tottenham have conceded in 8 of their 11 home matches
- Newcastle have scored in 3 of their 4 away matches against the ‘Big Six’
Newcastle United Prediction
Newcastle United pulled off the shock of all the midweek fixtures in the top flight when they recorded what seemed an extremely unlikely 2-1 home win over Manchester City, and in doing so, Rafa Benitez’s side not only recorded back-to-back wins but also lifted themselves five points clear of the relegation zone as well.
Newcastle had previously secured a valuable three points in a 3-0 home win over Cardiff City, but now take to the road again down to the nation’s capital where they’ll face a Tottenham side who will be jubilant after coming from behind to grab all three points against Watford.
Newcastle’s away record reads a slightly disappointing 2-5-4 9/14 which includes wins at Burnley and Huddersfield Town, but The Magpies have performed better at their St James’ Park so far this season.
6 of Newcastle’s 11 away matches have seen both teams score and although they’ve lost all four matches away at the ‘Big Six’ teams to date with losses at Manchester City, Manchester United, Liverpool and Chelsea, the visitors have scored in 3 of these 4 matches which gives them hope at Tottenham on Saturday lunchtime.
Betting Tips Verdict
Both Tottenham and Newcastle will come into this match brimming with confidence and the odds look very favourable for both teams to score here.
