It’s another big night under the lights at St. James’ Park as Newcastle United welcome Tottenham Hotspur in the Carabao Cup. Both sides have taken very different routes to this point — Newcastle flying with confidence after back-to-back wins, and Tottenham looking to rediscover their spark after a cagey draw in Europe. So, let’s break it all down — from team news to betting tips and predictions.
Newcastle United:
Eddie Howe’s side are buzzing after a commanding 3-0 win over Benfica. That came right after a 4-0 away victory over Union Saint-Gilloise, showing that this team isn’t just winning — they’re dominating. Anthony Gordon was the star once again, scoring and assisting in that Benfica game.
Injuries, though, could play a small part. Yoane Wissa (knee) and Tino Livramento (knee) are both sidelined. Lewis Hall (hamstring) and Harrison Ashby (thigh) remain doubts, so Howe will likely stick with the tried and tested backline that’s been performing well.
Tottenham Hotspur:
Tottenham’s last outing was a frustrating one — a 0-0 draw away to Monaco. Guglielmo Vicario was outstanding in goal, earning the Man of the Match nod for his eight saves. It was a game of few chances, but Tottenham showed they could defend solidly under pressure.
Ange Postecoglou (if we assume he’s still at the helm) has a long injury list to manage. Dejan Kulusevski, Radu Drăgușin, James Maddison, Ben Davies, and Dominic Solanke are all confirmed absentees. There’s a cluster of doubts too — including Kolo Muani, Yves Bissouma, and Christian Romero. It’s far from ideal, but Tottenham still have enough quality to make this a contest.
Newcastle United (4-3-3)
Ramsdale (GK); Trippier, Thiaw, Botman, Burn; Guimarães, Tonali, Joelinton; Elanga, Woltemade, Gordon.
Expect Newcastle to play with intent from the first whistle. Guimarães and Tonali will look to dictate play in midfield, while Elanga and Gordon’s pace could really trouble Spurs down the wings.
Tottenham Hotspur (4-2-3-1)
Kinský (GK); Porro, Danso, Van de Ven, Spence; Palhinha, Bentancur; Kudus, Simons, Odobert; Richarlison.
Tottenham’s setup is built for control — Bentancur and Palhinha anchoring the midfield, while Kudus and Simons try to feed Richarlison. Their key will be staying compact and hitting Newcastle on the counter.
Newcastle come into this one on a real high — that 3-0 win over Benfica was more than just a scoreline; it was a statement. They looked sharp, confident, and ruthless in attack. Tottenham, meanwhile, seem solid but not explosive. Their goalless draw at Monaco showed discipline but also a lack of cutting edge.
So, while Spurs might stay in the game for a while, Newcastle’s intensity at home could prove too much. Expect the Magpies to control the tempo and take their chances when they come.
Match Prediction: Newcastle to win. Bet with bet365.
If you’re looking for value in the betting markets, a 2-1 Newcastle win feels spot on. The Magpies have scored multiple goals in their last two matches, and while Tottenham are hard to break down, they’re not impenetrable. Gordon to score and Newcastle to edge it looks like the sensible call.
Correct Score Prediction: Newcastle United 2-1 Tottenham Hotspur. Bet with bet365.
Under 2.5 Goals: But Tottenham’s last few fixtures (0-0, 2-2) show they can grind out lower-scoring affairs.
So, this one could sit right on the fence. A 2-1 outcome seems most likely — just tipping over the 2.5 mark.
Over 2.5 Goals: Newcastle’s recent form suggests goals are coming. They’ve scored seven in their last two games.
Over/Under Prediction: Over 2.5 Goals. Bet with bet365.
Here’s a simple bet builder idea to consider:
That combination reflects Newcastle’s form, Gordon’s threat, and the competitive edge this matchup always brings.
Bet Builder Tip: Newcastle to Win, Over 2.5 Goals, Anthony Gordon to Score Anytime, and Both Teams to Receive 1+ Yellow Card. Bet with bet365.
