Two top-four contenders in a clash

On Sunday, two top clubs clash at an unusual kick-off time. Newcastle’s clash against Tottenham, in which all the predictions promise plenty of goals, has been brought forward by half an hour. Just like Chelsea FC’s game against Oliver Glasner’s Crystal Palace, the match will take place at 14:30. This is due to the fact that the Reds’ highlight match of the week against the Red Devils has been postponed from 17:30 to 17:00 due to police recommendations. In order to comply with the wishes of the TV broadcasters, all Sunday matches were then brought forward

Back to the sport: As is usual for Spurs matches, the bookmakers are expecting a lot of goals. The duels with the Magpies in particular have been the scene of several goal festivals in the recent past. In the last seven competitive matches between the two teams, 34 goals have been scored. That’s almost five goals per game

The odds on Newcastle vs Tottenham are correspondingly low. For example, Bet365 only offers 1.33 times the stake on more than 2.5 goals. The profit margin for bets on fewer goals is correspondingly high.

Newcastle – Statistics & current form

Traditionally, bookmakers always offer high odds on Newcastle scoring fewer goals. After all, Eddie Howe’s team is known for high-scoring and entertaining soccer. Even if the points haul from the first two games of the season is acceptable with four points, scoring goals has not really worked out so far.

Both in the 1-0 opening win against Southampton, in which they were outnumbered for a long time, and in the 1-1 draw at Bournemouth, the “Magpies’” goalkeeping machine was unable to score. It is therefore advisable to bet on “both score – no” for Newcastle vs Tottenham, as this promises a lot of value. In the Bet365 app, this event can be played at high odds

The new Zlatan
Alexander Isak has already left more than just scent marks in his first two years in the north-east of England. After scoring ten goals in his debut season in the Premier League, he more than doubled his tally last year, finishing third in the goalscoring charts with 21 goals.

The 24-year-old Swede, who was already regarded as a huge talent as a teenager and made his debut for BVB in the Bundesliga at the age of 17, only really took off after moving to Real Sociedad in the Basque Country. With 44 goals in 132 games at La Real, he became an absolute top performer and ended the Basque side’s 34-year wait for a title by winning the cup in 2020.

In 2022, the youngest Swedish team goalscorer of all time was finally drawn to the island. The Magpies shelled out 70 million pounds to sign him. He would actually be the right candidate to help his club to a second win of the season with a goal. However, zero goals and only 0.32 xGoals so far speak against a goal from the star striker. It is more likely that a bet on the visitors in Newcastle v Tottenham will bring more success. With the Bet-at-home bonus, a €100 deposit bonus could be generated with a two-way bet

Predicted line-up of Newcastle:

Tottenham – Statistics & current form

Coach Ante Postecoglou’s team is an incredibly well-coordinated squad that was strengthened in the summer. The permanent signings of Timo Werner on loan from RB Leipzig and Wilson Odobert were reinforcements on the wing. Archie Gray, a huge English defensive talent, came from Leeds United for 41 million. However, the Spurs’ biggest transfer is the signing of Dominic Solanke

A painful loss

The 26-year-old, who trained in the youth ranks at Chelsea FC, finally made his long-awaited breakthrough last season. With 19 goals, he shot AFC Bournemouth to relegation with aplomb. He scored more than a third of all his team’s goals himself.

Before this season, the North Londoners’ hopeful was released by the Cherries for 64 million euros. He started in the opening game against Leicester City and showed good promise. However, he also injured his ankle in that game and will probably be out until the end of the international break. That is a bitter loss for Ante Postecoglou, who has high hopes for the Briton. His absence is a further indication that the bookmakers are wrong with their odds on Newcastle vs Tottenham and have set them too high

High goals for Newcastle

With the new players, the aim is to finally finish fourth this season after Spurs surprisingly finished fifth behind Aston Villa last season. Ante Postecoglou has even been talking big recently. At a press conference, he announced that he usually wins titles in his second season at a club. However, he was talking more about the FA or League Cup, as it is virtually unthinkable that Spurs could really challenge Manchester City. But at least fourth place and thus participation in the Champions League should be possible again this season.

After the unfortunate start to the season, when Spurs were held to a 1-1 draw against newly promoted Leicester City in the first round, Postecoglou’s team flexed their muscles against Everton. The “Toffees”, who had no chance, were sent home with a 4:0 thrashing. Now comes the game against Newcastle, before the North London derby against Arsenal after the international break. It is arguably the most important game of the season, as Tottenham have been waiting four games for a derby win

Predicted Tottenham line-up:

Newcastle vs Tottenham head-to-head / H2H record

The “Spurs” are slightly ahead in the direct comparison. Out of 171 encounters, the capital side have won 74. The Magpies, on the other hand, have 62 wins. What is particularly exciting is how many goals have been scored between the two teams in recent matches. It is therefore not surprising that the bookmakers are offering high odds on Newcastle v Tottenham for a few goals

Newcastle – Tottenham betting tip

At an unusual kick-off time on Sunday, we can expect a high-class match between two teams who are pursuing ambitious goals this season. After all, both have the desire to play in the Champions League again next season

Since there have been a conspicuous number of goals scored in recent meetings, the odds on a few goals have shot up. Accordingly, a lot of “value” can be gained with a bet on under 3.5 goals or “both score – no”. With a Draw-No-Bet bet on the guest, you can also bet on the guest to be favored with comparatively little risk
