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 don't have much time to rest because the new, 16th round will be played already this weekend.

Tottenham have been one of the most pleasant surprises for a long time, but the last few weeks have been quite frustrating for their fans. A series of injuries threw them completely out of rhythm, so they were defeated 4 times in the last 5 matches. The last of those 4 defeats happened on Thursday at their home ground against West Ham. After the first half, it seemed that they could end the negative streak, they controlled the game and had a goal advantage after Cristian Romero scored a nice goal with a header in the 11th minute. In the second half, West Ham was much more concrete, was patient enough and took advantage of their chances, in the end deservedly achieved their seventh victory of the season.

Eddie Howe barely manages to put together a team of healthy players from round to round, and the special issue is competing in the Champions League at the same time. The last blow for the Magpies is an injury of the reliable goalkeeper Nick Pope, who will not be on the field for a few months. Newcastle did not have a good time at Goodison Park on Thursday, because a highly motivated Everton took advantage of all the guests' problems and with three goals in the last 15 minutes of the match achieved a very important victory.

Tottenham vs Newcastle pick: OVER 2.5 GOALS

Due to the large number of injuries and shortened rotations, it is very difficult to predict how this match will unfold and who will emerge as the winner. The latest concern for Spurs is Son's injury, who had to leave the game at the end of the match against West Ham due to a blow. According to the latest information, he will still be ready for this match, which is absolutely necessary for the home team to achieve a positive result. On the other side, in the finish of the match against Everton, it was best seen how much Newcastle needs freshness, and that problem will certainly not be solved now due to the busy schedule. This will be a duel of wounded lions and a match of lowered guards, where the current inspirations of individuals will decide the winner. People are still talking about the Spurs debacle at St. James' Park last season with a 6:1 defeat, but the season before, Tottenham also won 5:1 at home against this rival. This should be another high scoring match.
