Tottenham Hotspur vs Newcastle United Prediction, Odds and Picks for Saturday, 01/04/25

Newcastle have undoubtedly entered the race for a Champions League spot after 4 straight Premier League victories and they can boost their chances of dining at Europe’s top table once again by claiming another win at struggling Tottenham. While comfortable wins over promoted Leicester and Ipswich would have been expected, the fact the Magpies eased past Aston Villa 3-0 and then won 2-0 at Manchester United for their first win at Old Trafford in 11 years means head coach Eddie Howe deserves respect. 4 successive shutouts have been the bedrock of their recent success, but after scoring 12 goals in those recent outings, Newcastle should be licking their lips about the prospect of facing a battered Spurs defense.

Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou has been patching up his rearguard for weeks with his best 2 central defenders, Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven, being joined in the treatment room by goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario. That has given them a shaky look and the unavailability of Ben Davies and Destiny Udogie has left alternatives thin on the ground and the makeshift defense often exposed.
