23rd April 2023 – 15:00, St. James’ Park, Newcastle
Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur will face each other in the Premier League 32nd round on Sunday afternoon. Both teams seek a victory that could help them stay in the top-four zone.
Newcastle United Preview & Team News
Newcastle United will want a better result here after a 3-0 Premier League losing effort in their last game against Aston Villa. It was their first defeat after five straight wins, but the Magpies kept 4th position. Three or more goals per match have been seen in 5 of the last six fixtures in which Newcastle United has participated. Opposing sides scored seven times in these games, whereas Newcastle United managed to get a total of 13. We will just have to see if that trend will end up being sustained into this next match. Coming into this fixture, Newcastle United has not been beaten in their last two home league matches. Allan Saint-Maximin (Hamstring Injury), Matty Longstaff (Knee Injury), and Emil Krafth (Cruciate Ligament Rupture) are unavailable for Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe.
Tottenham Hotspur Preview & Team News
Since a losing effort in their last game against Bournemouth in Premier League competition, Tottenham Hotspur will be aiming to make amends here. The Spurs are three points behind their upcoming rivals and also have played one game more. Tottenham Hotspur has attacked well in their most recent fixtures, scoring 11 times in their last six matches. While their manager Cristian Stellini will no doubt take that as a positive sign, Tottenham Hotspur can also improve defensively after being scored against in 5 of those same matches. Tottenham Hotspur boss Cristian Stellini has multiple availability issues to deal with. Yves Bissouma (Ankle Fracture) and Rodrigo Bentancur (Cruciate Ligament Rupture) miss out here.
Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction
It is going to be a close game that can go either way. However, Newcastle United has been more confident recently, and we believe they can celebrate a crucial win to secure the Champions League ticket at the end of the campaign.
Goals Market Prediction
Their head-to-head clashes produced many goals recently, and we should expect another entertaining encounter. The BTTS Yes wager won six times in a row when these two teams met each other, and we think that tradition might continue on Sunday afternoon.
