Tottenham and Newcastle, initially regarded as modest contenders, have proven themselves to be significant forces. The imminent return of Romero could not be more important, as Tottenham requires its strongest XI to take on Newcastle, a team that’s tough to beat due to its unique patterns.

Tottenhamvs Newcastle, Prediction, Odds

• Pick: Draw
• Odds: +295 (Tonybet)

This clash is filled with countless intangibles, making it more challenging than most matches this season. Tottenham, playing as hosts, naturally have the traditional home advantage. However, their current form is somewhat lacklustre, adding complexity to forecasting the outcome. 

Tottenham drew in the last minutes against Manchester City (3-3) and most recently suffered a 1-2 loss against West Ham in this week’s mid-week game. Discovering a path to victory amidst numerous injuries is crucial but has proven to be far from straightforward. The team’s approach has remained inflexible, sticking to its core identity despite the significant player absences. 

Newcastle, however, has form on its side, which is evident in their recent performances. Additionally, they face a crucial upcoming match against AC Milan in the Champions League just a few days later, which will be decisive in determining their progress in European competitions.

In response to Tottenham’s attacking approach, Newcastle will likely employ pressing tactics, aiming to disrupt the connection between Tottenham’s backline and midfield, thus short-circuiting their opponent’s rhythm.

Few teams have successfully countered this strategy. Ange’s staff would benefit from analyzing Dortmund’s games against Newcastle, as they provide insightful examples of how to effectively halt Howe’s men.

Tottenham vs Newcastle Betting Tip

• Pick: Newcastle to score first
• Odds: -120  (Tonybet)

If applied as usual, Anthony Gordon and Newcastle’s pressing scheme could prove to be the key against Tottenham. In the context of Tottenham’s injury woes, players are more prone to panic under pressure.

Eddie Howe’s coaching staff has grasped this concept particularly well. As seen in their match against Manchester United, Gordon and Newcastle’s forward line effectively utilized pressing to disrupt Manchester United by cutting off passing lanes during their standard build-up play. 

This approach usually favours Newcastle United to score the opening goal, and it wouldn’t be surprising to see Anthony Gordon replicate his scoring feat against Manchester United in the upcoming match against Tottenham.
