Newcastle United take on Tottenham Hotspur in a Premier League clash at St. James' Park this Tuesday evening. Newcastle are currently in 11th place, one spot below Tottenham in 10th, but both sides are locked on 18 points right now, meaning this match could propel the winner to the top five depending on other results.
So, can the Magpies pick up another win at home, or will Tottenham's strong away record this season continue?
Newcastle United vs Tottenham Hotspur Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
- It's safe to say that Newcastle's recent record against Tottenham at St. James' Park is pretty dominant. They've beaten Spurs in the North London side's last four visits to the North East, including in an EFL Cup match earlier this season. The last time Tottenham came away with a win from this match was in 2021.
- Newcastle are coming into this game on the back of their first away win of the season, over Everton this weekend. At home, though, their form has been much better, with Eddie Howe's men winning four of their six league games at St. James' Park.
- Tottenham will be coming in with their tails tucked, as they were well beaten 1-2 by Fulham at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday evening. They have now failed to record a win in any of their last four Premier League matches.
- On the road, though, Tottenham's form has been genuinely excellent this season. They've only been beaten once away, by league leaders Arsenal, and outside of that have won four in six.
- Newcastle have not only dominated Tottenham at St. James' in recent years, but they've also scored a bagful of goals too. In Tottenham's last four visits there in Premier League action, they've managed to concede 14 goals.
Newcastle United vs Tottenham Hotspur Prediction
Despite Tottenham's away record being a lot better than their home one this season, St. James' Park has never been a happy hunting ground for them. They've already lost there once this season, albeit in the EFL Cup.
Newcastle, meanwhile, have now won two in a row and looked excellent in their win over Everton this weekend.
Tottenham do have the talent to cause Newcastle issues here, but there are question marks over whether Thomas Frank knows his best XI right now, and that is worrying for them.
All in all, then, a home win seems to be the most likely outcome.
Prediction: Newcastle United 3-0 Tottenham Hotspur
