The Matchday 14 Premier League clash between Newcastle and Tottenham will take place on December 2 at St James' Park. Newcastle vs. Tottenham: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
Newcastle
Eddie Howe's side has performed excellently in their last two league matches, securing victories. They first defeated Manchester City at home (2-1) and then thrashed Everton away (4-1). Interestingly, before facing the Merseysiders, the team had not won away in nine league matches. Additionally, in Newcastle's last six Premier League games, at least three goals have been scored. The club has collected 18 points and moved closer to the middle of the league table.
- Both teams scored in Newcastle's last 6 Premier League matches.
- Newcastle opened the scoring in their last five league matches.
- The team has won 10 of their last 13 Premier League games (3 losses).
Predicted lineup for Newcastle (4-3-3)
Aaron Ramsdale – Valentino Livramento, Malik Thiaw, Lewis Hall, Dan Burn – Bruno Guimarães, Lewis Miley, Joelinton – Anthony Elanga, Harvey Barnes, Nick Woltemade.
Forwards Yoane Wissa and William Osula, as well as defenders Kieran Trippier and Emil Krafth, will miss the match due to injuries.
Tottenham
The Londoners have not tasted victory in the league for four matches, managing only 1 point. They approach this match after two consecutive defeats: losing to Arsenal away (1-4) and then to Fulham at home (1-2). These results have impacted Thomas Frank's side's position, dropping them to the lower half of the table. Furthermore, in 5 of Tottenham's last 6 Premier League matches, at least three goals were scored.
- Both teams scored in 7 of Tottenham's last 9 league matches.
- The club has not won in 15 of their last 20 Premier League games (4 draws and 11 losses).
- The Londoners have suffered just 1 defeat in their last 6 Premier League matches (4 wins and 1 draw).
Predicted lineup for Tottenham (5-3-2)
Guglielmo Vicario – Kevin Danso, Archie Gray, Micky van de Ven, Destiny Udogie, Pedro Porro – João Palhinha, Lucas Bergvall, Mohammed Kudus – Richarlison, Randal Kolo Muani.
Midfielders Yves Bissouma, James Maddison, and Dejan Kulusevski, as well as forward Dominic Solanke, are sidelined due to injuries. Defender Radu Dragusin's participation is in doubt.

Newcastle vs. Tottenham: Match Prediction
Encounters between these opponents are usually very entertaining and high-scoring. In the last nine league meetings, at least three goals were scored. Moreover, both teams found the net in 10 of the last 11 Premier League head-to-heads. Therefore, I expect both teams to score at least three goals this time as well.
Newcastle is a formidable opponent at home, not only in the Premier League. The team often wins, largely due to their high scoring ability. In their last 13 home league games, the club scored at least two goals 10 times. Furthermore, three or more goals were scored in 15 of Newcastle's last 19 home Premier League matches. The Londoners also impress with their goal-scoring, having scored two or more goals in 5 of their last 6 away Premier League games. At least 3 goals were scored in Tottenham's last 5 away league matches.
My prediction – Total over 2.5 goals
