On Sunday afternoon, Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur will face off in a potentially pivotal match for Champions League qualification in the Premier League at St James’ Park.
Newcastle’s five-game unbeaten run came to an abrupt end last weekend as they were soundly beaten 3-0 by high-flying Aston Villa. Manchester United’s subsequent triumph over Nottingham Forest pushed Newcastle down to fourth place in the standings. Eddie Howe’s team will now focus on securing their hold on the final Champions League spot when Tottenham, currently in fifth place, come to town.
Spurs have struggled with inconsistency this season, as seen in their 3-2 loss at home to Bournemouth in their last match. However, Cristian Stellini’s squad is still firmly in the hunt for a top-four finish, and a victory on Sunday would put them on equal points with Newcastle.
Newcastle United is the odds-on favorite to repeat their October triumph over Spurs, with odds of 5/6 (Bet 365). Tottenham’s last two away matches have ended in draws, and another share of the points is priced at 11/4 (Bet 365). Alternatively, the visitors are offered at 16/5 (Bet 365) to claim victory on Tyneside.
Newcastle United’s success this season has largely been due to their strong defensive foundation. However, their standards have slipped in recent months, with only one clean sheet in their last 10 Premier League matches under Eddie Howe’s leadership.
While Tottenham’s form has been inconsistent, they boast a team filled with attacking talent, having scored in all but four of their 31 top-flight fixtures this season. However, Spurs have struggled defensively, conceding at least one goal in each of their last six league matches.
It’s worth noting that Both Teams to Score would have been a winning bet in Tottenham’s last five league games, as well as in four of Newcastle’s last six Premier League matches. This wager would have also paid out when the two sides met earlier in the season in London.
