Newcastle vs Tottenham predictions: Impressive form
Key stats
- Newcastle have won four of their last five matches (one loss) in all competitions.
- Tottenham have lost just once in their last 10 games in all competitions.
- The Magpies have won five of their last six matches against Spurs.
Correct score prediction: Newcastle 2-1 Tottenham
It is really hard to predict between the two in-form Premier League teams in a cup game, especially when both teams are likely to make several changes to their squad.
Spurs bounced back to winning ways after failing to win against Aston Villa (PL) and Monaco (CL) with a 3-0 win over Everton, but St James' Park have not been their happy hunting ground.
Newcastle, on the other hand, picked up back-to-back wins against Benfica (CL) and Fulham (PL), and will be looking to pick up their third win at home in a row.
Apart from the Monaco game, Spurs have scored in their last nine games, while the Tyneside club have scored in their previous seven games.
Pre-game odds and win probability: Newcastle are clear favourites
- HOME: 4/5 (1.8) – 55.6%
- DRAW: 29/10 (3.9) – 25.6%
- AWAY: 29/10 (3.9) – 25.6%
*Odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
After picking up three home wins in a row, the Magpies are tipped to win this encounter at 4/5 (1.8), implying a 55.6% probability of victory.
Tottenham have been brilliant under Thomas Frank this season, but they have drawn too many games, and are priced at 29/10 (3.9), backed by a 25.6% win probability.
Both teams are likely to score, and therefore BTTS – Yes looks appealing at 3/4 (1.75), with a 57.1% chance of landing.
