Newcastle Form
Tottenham Form
Newcastle vs Tottenham prediction talk starts to heat up with this one landing on 2 November at 8:15pm BST, under the lights at St. James’ Park. It’s a Friday night slot that suits a fiery matchup, and with both sides playing a Premier League game beforehand, you’re looking at two teams arriving with mixed confidence and very real pressure. Newcastle sit 14th with 15 points, Tottenham are 9th with 18, and both have form streaks that swing all over the place. So a Newcastle vs Tottenham prediction right now leans toward a tight, high-energy game where neither side can afford a slow start.
Newcastle’s squad situation is fairly consistent. Eddie Howe has been sticking with his 4-3-3 setup featuring Nick Pope, Valentino Livramento, Malick Thiaw, Fabian Schär, and Lewis Hall across the back line. In midfield, Bruno Guimarães, Sandro Tonali, and Joelinton bring power, ball-winning, and long-range threat. Up top, Jacob Murphy, Nick Woltemade, and Harvey Barnes carry the attacking load, with Barnes in particular finding strong form recently.
The main Newcastle concern isn’t who’s missing — it’s their inconsistency. They’ve been scoring in every game recently, with six straight matches producing at least one goal, but they’ve also conceded in each of those six. Home form, however, is a boost: four wins from six league matches at St. James’ Park and a goal scored in every home fixture.
Tottenham’s selection picture is tougher. They come into this one carrying a long list of absentees:
That’s a huge chunk of creativity, control, and defensive structure missing. Spurs have still managed goals — especially away from home — but their defensive leaks lately are worrying, with 14 goals conceded in their last six matches.
Pope; Livramento, Thiaw, Schär, Hall; Tonali, Guimarães, Joelinton; Murphy, Woltemade, Barnes.
Vicario; Porro, van de Ven, Danso, Udogie; Palhinha, Bentancur; Kudus, Simons, Odobert; Richarlison.
Here’s where things get interesting. Newcastle are strong at home and scoring freely, but they concede too often. Tottenham score plenty away from home but arrive defensively stretched and badly bruised from recent heavy defeats.
A few angles you should keep in mind:
1. Both Teams to Score
Newcastle have scored in every home match. Spurs have scored in every away match. Neither can keep clean sheets right now. This one really leans toward both teams finding the net.
2. Newcastle to Score First
Given their fast starts at home and Tottenham’s leaky openings in recent games, this is a practical angle. Newcastle generally thrive under the St. James’ Park atmosphere.
3. Tottenham Over 1 Goal
Even with injuries, Spurs keep finding a way. Their average of 2.2 goals per away match is hard to ignore.
Well, when you put it all together, this feels like a match where Newcastle’s home strength clashes with Tottenham’s dangerous away output. Newcastle have won 4 of their last 6 at St. James’ Park, scoring 10 at home overall. Spurs, meanwhile, have taken points from 5 of their 6 away league matches and scored in every single one.
The head-to-head picture leans heavily toward Newcastle recently — five wins in the last six meetings — but both sides show enough attacking consistency to make this a proper contest.
Match Prediction: Draw. Bet with bet365.
Newcastle have scored in every home game. Tottenham have scored in every away game. Neither team defends convincingly.
A scoreline with narrow margins but goals both ways feels right.

It’s tight. City have the better squad, but Fulham’s home form levels the playing field. A draw or narrow City win looks most likely.
Possibly. City almost always score away, and Fulham are strong at home. BTTS is unpredictable but not unrealistic.
You’re likely looking at a low-to-moderate total — probably 2–3 goals.
Yes. Fulham hit high corner numbers at home, making Over 8.5 or Over 9.5 a strong angle.
