Match Overview
Tottenham Hotspur take on Newcastle United at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in a match in the Premier League on Sunday. The visiting side will want to showcase that they can do just as well away from home as they can at St James' Park, and it is against this threat that Spurs will have to be wary. Spurs' high defensive line will come into threat in this game for sure.
Key Highlights
Spurs, as is well known, are ranked 7th in goals scored per match (2 goals). At the same time, however, what will bug them is that they have not been at their best when it comes to defending their goalpost. Newcastle, who are known to play a counter-attacking brand of football, should be able to make use of the spaces in the home team's defence.
Injury Report
Rodrigo Bentancur, Pape Sarr and James Maddison have been ruled out of this game for Tottenham whereas Sven Botman, Nick Pope and Sean Longstaff will not be available for selection in this game for Newcastle.
Prediction
Neither Spurs nor Newcastle appear to be the overwhelming favourites to win this game. We expect BTTS (both teams to score) in this game. Newcastle United have won the previous 2 matches against Tottenham Hotspur. What will also aid them is that their right-back Kieran Trippier is ranked 2nd in big chances created in the competition (10).
