The Magpies have taken seven points from their last three matches to move back into contention for a place in Europe next season. Newcastle United’s only defeat at St James Park in 2024 came at the hands of Manchester City.

Newcastle United v Tottenham Hotspur: Head-to-Head

Spurs’ trip to St James Park last season was a forgettable one for the North Londoners as they were swept aside in a 6-1 defeat. Things could’ve actually been a lot worse for the visitors as Newcastle United were incredibly 5-0 up within 21 minutes.

Spurs avenged that defeat by winning 4-1 in the reverse fixture at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium earlier this season. Goals for Destiny Udogie, Richarlison (two) and Son Heung-min put Spurs 4-0 up before Joelinton pulled a goal back in stoppage time.

Betting Tips

When Newcastle United and Spurs meet you’re guaranteed to see goals. There hasn’t been a clean sheet in any of the last eight matches contested by the two sides with those eight fixtures averaging 4.5 goals per game. Both teams to score looks a certainty at 5/16 whilst over 3.5 match goals is incredibly well-priced at 4/5.

Newcastle United’s leading marksman, Alexander Isak is enjoying a purple patch in front of goal having netted five goals in his side’s last five league games. Isak scored twice in this fixture last season and will prove popular in the various goalscorer markets. At the other end, Son Heung-min is likely to be Spurs’ most likely source of goals once again. The Tottenham captain has netted 15 times in the league this season, including three in Spurs’ last six matches.

Here are some betting markets to consider featuring both Alexander Isak and Son Heung-min:
