Newcastle v Tottenham Preview and Prediction

Date/Time: Saturday 11^th August 2018 (Kick-off 12: 30 PM)

Newcastle host Tottenham at St James Park on Saturday lunchtime, as the two sides attempt to kick-off their Premier League campaigns with a victory.

The two teams will have very different ambitions heading into the new campaign, as Newcastle will be hoping for another half finish, while Tottenham will be looking to mount a challenge for the Premier League title.

Newcastle finished last season in poor form last season, suffering defeat in four of their last five matches. However, the Magpies ended that poor run of form against Chelsea with a 3-0 victory at St James Park.

The side from the north east have been impressive on home soil in the Premier League of late, losing just once in their last nine top-flight games, while also winning five of their last six league games at St James.

Top Football Bookmakers

Tottenham heads into this game with the possibility of a number of players missing. The team from north London failed to strengthen their squad in the summer. However, they are still favourites to record a win in this clash.

Mauricio Pochettino’s side finished last season relatively good form, winning three of their last four games in the Premier League. The visitors have also suffered just one defeat in their last ten outings in the English top-flight, so they are dangerous on their travels.

Prediction

Away win and/or under 2.5 goals
