In the upcoming match, I lean towards the home team. This is despite Eddie Howe’s side currently being in the bottom half of the Premier League table, while the Londoners sit third. Newcastle is exceptionally strong at home in the , boasting an impressive 9-match winning streak. Notably, during this run, they’ve overcome formidable opponents such as Manchester City (1-0), Chelsea, and Arsenal (twice, both 2-0).

Supporting Prediction Insights

Conversely, Tottenham has largely underperformed in their away matches in this tournament, and when they do secure victories, it’s typically against lower-division English teams. Furthermore, Newcastle has defeated the Londoners in their three previous league encounters. In their last three visits to St. James’ Park, Tottenham has consistently lost, with a combined goal difference of 2:12.

My prediction – Newcastle to win outright with odds.
