Tottenham Hotspur vs Newcastle United prediction and betting tips
Tottenham Hotspur have lost six of their last eight Premier League games against Newcastle (W1 D1) and haven’t kept a clean sheet in any of their last 14 meetings with the Magpies.
Newcastle have won more Premier League away games against Spurs than against any other opponent (13), winning three of their last four visits to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium (L1).
Going by their recent meetings, Newcastle come into this clash as the favourites to claim the win away from home.
They are also searching for their first league victory of the season after narrowly missing out against Liverpool.
However, Tottenham will have home advantage and plenty of confidence following that emphatic win over Charlton.
They will need a strong display in front of their supporters, while their squad depth could also prove decisive as they look to make an early statement under De Zerbi.
