Newcastle vs Tottenham Prediction & Betting Tips (13 April)

Returning to the forefront last year, Newcastle are less to their advantage this season. 8th in the Premier League, the Magpies are completely out of the fight for the next Champions League. On the other hand, they remain in the race to take part in the C3 or C4, 2 points behind 6th place. Saint James Park residents are moving along at a good pace these days. Indeed, they have won 3 of their last 5 league matches, for 1 draw and 1 defeat. Held in check at home by Everton 1-1, Newcastle resumed their march forward by winning at Fulham last weekend 0-1.

Tottenham are currently 4th in the Premier League and have, with 1 game less, the same number of points as 5th Aston Villa. The London team therefore has a great opportunity to return to the Champions League next year. Confidently, the Spurs have only conceded one setback in the last 6 days, for 4 victories and 1 draw. After taking a good point in the lair of West Ham 1-1, they logically took over the poorly ranked Nottingham Forest last weekend 3-1.

Many elements are missing for Newcastle this weekend. We find in the infirmary the captains Pope (starting goalkeeper), Botman and Trippier, the potential starters Livramento, Joelinton, Almiron and Wilson (7 goals in PL) as well as the replacement defender Lascelles and the very promising midfielder Miley (17 years). Added to this are the uncertainties weighing on the participation of defenders Hall and Targett and the suspension of midfielder Tonali. During the last one, midfielder Bruno Guimaraes scored the winning goal for the Magpies. The influential attackers Gordon (9 goals and 6 assists in the PL) and Isak (15 goals in the PL) are available.

For this meeting, Tottenham is deprived of the important attacker Richarlison (10 goals and 3 assists in the PL), the goalkeeper replacing Forster and long-term absentees Sessegnon and Solomon, all on the flank. Captain Heung-min Son (15 goals and 9 assists in PL) could again start on the attacking front and be supported by playmaker Maddison (4 goals and 7 assists in PL). On the wings, Johnson (5 goals and 7 assists in PL), Kulusevski (6 goals and 3 assists in PL) and Werner (2 goals and 3 assists in PL) are fighting for 2 places.
