Newcastle vs Tottenham tips and predictions

Patience to be difference for Tottenham

On 3 points Newcastle will welcome 12-point Tottenham. There are 11 places separating the two Premier League clubs.

Tottenham look like a pretty good bet in this match. They can come through after what looks likely to be end-to-end stuff. It's hard to see anything but an open contest here as the visitors are seeking a positive result.

The hosts look to put some of their tepid outings out of their memory. Newcastle's occasional lapses in concentration have not gone unpunished. They conceded two or more goals in 10 of their last 15 home matches and if they have any selection issues they could be vulnerable again here. Newcastle's forwards have been under the microscope. They've scored one or less goals in all of their last 4 games which probably won't get the job done here.

One way or another it looks like a decent clash and the evidence laid out suggests the away win is the best pick. Tottenham have got the win from 10 of their last 19 matches. Their decent results have been underpinned by their confidence in front of goal. They've scored 2.5 goals on average over their last 4 games and they'll want to add to that average here.

Most previews are saying that both sides can get in on the act as the teams aren't a million miles apart. The odds-on won't be for everyone but the Yes BTTS looks like the best bet from that market.

Tottenham have won 10 of the last 18 games between these two sides.
