Newcastle vs Tottenham Prediction & Betting Tips (1 September)

Bought by a very serious investor in October 2021, Newcastle now acts as a potential outsider for the Big 4. The Magpies managed to secure 4th place in 2023 and therefore qualification for the Champions League. On the other hand, they were less to their advantage during the previous year. Newcastle had to settle for 7th place in the Premier League and will therefore not play in any European Cup this season. Eager to resume their march forward, the residents of Saint James Park got off to a good start in the championship on an accounting level. Without really convincing, they dominated promoted Southampton to start 1-0 before taking a point at Bournemouth last weekend 1-1. This week, Newcastle defeated Nottingham Forest for their entry into the League Cup 1-1, qualifying following penalties.

Disappointing 8th in the Premier League in 2023, Tottenham found color last season under the orders of 'Ange Postecoglou. Unfortunately, the London team did not manage to qualify for the Champions League as they finished 5th in the ranking with 2 points out of 4th place. It is still a good result for Tottenham who will be present in the group stage of the Europa League. Spurs are now aiming for the Big 4 and they are off to a good start this season. They first drew at Leicester 1-1 before crushing Everton at home last weekend 4-0. 

For Newcastle, executives Botman and Wilson have still not recovered from their physical problems. In addition, promising midfielder Miley and replacement defender Lascelles are also in the infirmary. On the other hand, the captain Schär and the long-term absentee Tonali have finished serving their suspensions. The usual executives are still at the club. This is particularly the case of midfielder Bruno Guimaraes as well as attackers Gordon and Isak. During the off-season, Newcastle made good financial transactions by selling Anderson (Nottingham Forest) and Minteh (Brighton). Conversely, goalkeeper Vlachodimos (Nottingham Forest), defenders Hall (Chelsea) and Kelly (Bournemouth) and striker Osula (Sheffield United) came to strengthen the ranks of the Magpies. As for Tottenham, rookie Solanke is still not available this weekend.

Furthermore, the interesting but fragile midfielder Bentancur must also forfeit. Captain Son remains Spurs' major offensive asset this season. He also scored a double last weekend while rookie Odobert made a very good debut. Several elements left, permanently or via loan, Tottenham this summer. We can report the departures of Skipp (Leicester), Emerson (AC Milan), Rodon (Leeds), Sessegnon (Fulham), Ndombele (Nice), Dier (Bayern Munich), Hojbjerg (OM), Bryan Gil (Girona) or even Solomon (Leeds). In the opposite direction, midfielders Gray (Leeds) and Bergvall (Djurgarden) arrived at the club as well as attackers Solanke (Bournemouth), Odobert (Burnley) and Min-hyeok Yang (Gangwon).
