The English League Cup Round of 16 match between Newcastle and Tottenham will take place on October 29 at St. James' Park. Newcastle vs. Tottenham: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
Newcastle
Eddie Howe's side started their campaign in the previous round. At home, they confidently defeated Bradford City 4-1. The club started late because they won the English League Cup for the first time in their history last season. In the final, Newcastle overcame Liverpool with a 2-1 victory. Notably, their winning streak in this tournament now stands at seven matches.
- The team's unbeaten streak in this cup is now 11 matches – 9 wins and 2 draws.
- Exactly two or three goals have been scored in 7 of Newcastle's last 10 English League Cup games.
- The club has kept a clean sheet in 9 of their last 12 home matches in this tournament.
Predicted lineup for Newcastle (4-3-3)
Aaron Ramsdale – Lewis Hall, Malik Thiaw, Sven Botman, Emil Krafth – Bruno Guimarães, Lewis Miley, Joelinton – Anthony Elanga, Anthony Gordon, William Osula.
Due to injuries, defender Valentino Livramento, midfielder Lewis Hall, and forward Yoane Wissa will miss the game.
Tottenham
The Londoners also faced no issues in their first stage of the English League Cup. They hosted Doncaster, who play in League One, and thrashed them 3-0. This was their fifth win in the last six matches in this tournament. Tottenham won this cup once in the 21st century (2008) and last reached the final in 2021.
- At least three goals were scored in 5 of the club's last 6 games in this tournament.
- Tottenham has not won in 4 of their last 5 away matches in the English League Cup (1 draw and 3 losses).
- The Londoners conceded in 8 of their last 9 away games in this tournament.
Predicted lineup for Tottenham (4-3-3)
Antonin Kinsky – Kevin Danso, Djed Spence, João Palhinha, Pedro Porro – Xavi Simons, Rodrigo Bentancur, Archie Gray – Brennan Johnson, Wilson Odobert, Mathys Tel.
Due to injuries, defender Radu Drăgușin, midfielders James Maddison, Yves Bissouma, and Dejan Kulusevski, as well as forward Dominic Solanke, are unavailable.

Newcastle vs. Tottenham: Match Prediction
In the upcoming match, I favor the hosts. Despite Eddie Howe's side being in the lower half of the Premier League table, while the Londoners are third, Newcastle is very strong at home in the English League Cup, boasting a 9-match winning streak. During this streak, they have defeated strong opponents like Manchester City (1-0), Chelsea, and Arsenal (twice 2-0).
Tottenham, however, tends to disappoint on the road in this tournament, only winning against lower-division English teams. Additionally, Newcastle has beaten Tottenham in their last three Premier League meetings. In the last three visits to St. James' Park, Tottenham has only suffered defeats, with a goal difference of 2:12.
My prediction – Newcastle Win
