Match preview

Tottenham host Newcastle at home in round two of the Premier League season seeking to bounce back from an opening 3-0 defeat at Brentford. While Spurs picked up a 5-1 win over Charlton in cup action, their league campaign began on the back foot amidst a significant list of squad absences, including D. Kulusevski, J. Maddison, M. Kudus, X. Simons, W. Odobert, and P. M. Sarr.

Newcastle opened their league campaign with an entertaining 2-2 draw against Liverpool, with J. Willock finding the net and W. Osula recording an assist. The Magpies head to London dealing with absences of their own in Joelinton and V. Livramento, but they carry considerable momentum from recent encounters between these two clubs.

Historically, Newcastle have held a notable advantage in recent meetings, winning six of the last ten head-to-head fixtures with three draws and just one Tottenham victory. With Tottenham managing several key fitness concerns, the visitors look well-placed to compete for points in what has typically been an open fixture.

Key factors

  • Head-to-head dominance: Newcastle have won 6 of the last 10 meetings across all competitions, losing just 1.
  • Tottenham squad availability: Spurs are missing multiple regular options including J. Maddison, D. Kulusevski, M. Kudus, and P. M. Sarr.
  • Opening round form: Newcastle scored twice in a 2-2 draw with Liverpool, whereas Tottenham fell 3-0 at Brentford.
  • High-scoring series: Across their last 10 encounters, the fixture has averaged 3.5 goals per game with an 80% both-teams-to-score rate.

Newcastle or Draw
Confidence74%

Newcastle have established strong recent form in this fixture, winning six of the past ten head-to-head encounters and losing only once. Tottenham enter the match after conceding three goals in their Premier League opener against Brentford and must navigate extensive midfield and attacking absences, with Kulusevski, Maddison, Kudus, and Sarr all sidelined. Backing Newcastle on the double chance provides solid security across both an away victory and a draw.
