Tottenham Hotspur vs Newcastle United Prediction 10.12.2023

• Competition: Premier League
• Date: 10th  December 2023
• Time:  16:30 UK / 17:30 CET
• Venue: Tottenham Hotspur Stadium (London)

The Premier League teams have little time to rest as the new, 16th round is set to be played this upcoming weekend.

For a long time, Tottenham has been a pleasant surprise; however, recent weeks have been disappointing for their fans due to a string of injuries disrupting their rhythm. They’ve suffered four defeats in their last five matches, the most recent one being at their home ground against West Ham on Thursday. Despite having control of the game and a lead after Cristian Romero’s 11th-minute header, they lost momentum in the second half. West Ham, on the other hand, capitalized on their opportunities, displaying patience and precision, which culminated in their deserving seventh victory of the season.

Eddie Howe struggles to assemble a healthy team each round, with the added challenge of competing in the Champions League. The latest setback for the Magpies is an injury to dependable goalkeeper Nick Pope, who will be sidelined for several months. Newcastle faced a tough time at Goodison Park on Thursday, as an inspired Everton capitalized on the visitors’ troubles, netting three goals in the last 15 minutes to secure a crucial victory.

Tottenham vs Newcastle pick: OVER 2.5 GOALS

The unpredictability of this match is heightened due to the numerous injuries and limited rotations. Spurs are particularly concerned about Son’s injury, who had to exit the game against West Ham after being hit. Latest updates suggest he will be ready for this match, which is crucial for Spurs to secure a positive outcome. On the other hand, Newcastle’s need for rejuvenation was noticeable during their match against Everton, a problem unlikely to be resolved due to their packed schedule. This match will be a clash of injured lions, where the winner will be determined by the current form of individual players. Last season’s unforgettable 6:1 defeat of the Spurs at St. James’ Park is still a topic of discussion, however, the previous season saw Tottenham secure a 5:1 victory at home against the same opponents. It looks set to be another high-scoring match.
