Newcastle welcome fourth placed Tottenham to St James Park for the early kick off on Saturday and this ought to be a really competitive match. There is 13 points difference between the two in the table but stylistically, they both play similar football and this could be a fascinating game to watch especially at this time of the season.
Newcastle have opened up at 17/10 to win at home whilst Tottenham are the favourites at a price of 13/10. I have some betting suggestions for this fixture but let’s take a look at the two teams first.
Newcastle have a very tough game at home this weekend but in fairness, their best form has been at St James Park and that has to count for something. They have a full squad this week and even though European football looks out of reach, they will want to finish the season strong. They also have a fully fit squad for this weekend and I think they have a chance of getting something out of this if they turn up in their best form.
Tottenham currently sit in fourth but they are level on points with Aston Villa who sit just one place behind them and this is going to be a huge game. Tottenham have a game in hand on Aston Villa though and picking up 3 points here is huge in their race to Champions League football. They will need to turn up all guns blazing to beat Newcastle away from home but they are definitely capable.

The head to heads between these two sides are very close and in the last 4 meetings they have won two games each and that pretty much sums up the premise of this fixture. Two very good sides on their day with strong squads and it could go either way. Perhaps the home form of Newcastle will edge it in their favour but this is a very tight match.
I am really looking forward to the early kick off on Saturday and this ought to be a brilliant game to start the weekend! I have had a good look through both teams and it is definitely going to be a close one. I think both teams playing similar football will balance this game out and it could come down to one goal either way.
After looking at both of the sides I have come up with a betting suggestion but this is going to be such a close game. Both sides will be looking to take all three points and that makes this a very exciting fixture. Neither team are odds on to win this weekend and expect a belter of a game.
This is a superb fixture to kick off the premier league weekend and after looking at both sides I have come up with a betting suggestion. Tottenham are the slight favourites here and they are four positions higher than Newcastle in the table but I don't think it tells the whole story. The home form of Newcastle has been solid and I think this gives them a great chance of beating Tottenham this weekend.
It’s a huge game for the away team and I think Newcastle are going to be able to hold them at bay. They have started to create more chances once again and I think this bodes really well for Newcastle. It’s going to be a really good game but I would have Newcastle as the outright winners at 17/10.
