This weekend’s fixture at St James’ Park sees Newcastle United aiming to extend their strong home performance against a Tottenham team that has faltered on the road. Newcastle’s home advantage has previously been pivotal, and their recent home record against Tottenham—scoring 10 goals in their last two meetings—underscores their dominance in this fixture.
The dynamics of this match will test Tottenham’s resolve, especially given their patchy away record with only one win in their last seven league outings. Ange Postecoglou will need to address these inconsistencies if Spurs are to overcome a Newcastle side that thrives in front of their own fans.
Considering the scoring patterns of both teams this season, where Newcastle has consistently netted once per match and Tottenham’s only away game ended in a draw, a repetition of Newcastle’s home opener’s scoreline might be a prudent prediction. This encounter promises a strategic battle, with Newcastle likely leveraging their robust home form to secure a result against the Londoners.
Betting tip – Newcastle to win at 6/4
