Newcastle vs Tottenham Match Prediction
Given Newcastle's strong home record against Tottenham, particularly their scoring ability, and the fact that they are undefeated in their last five meetings, a home win seems likely.
However, Tottenham's ability to find the net on the road suggests they won't go down without a fight.
The high number of goals in previous encounters between these two sides at St James' Park also points towards a high-scoring affair.
Score Prediction: Newcastle 3-1 Tottenham
Newcastle vs Tottenham Bet Builder Tip
Our bet builder tip for Newcastle vs Tottenham is Harvey Barnes 2+ shots on target, Lucas Bergvall 2+ fouls, and Fabian Schar 1+ foul.

Harvey Barnes 2+ shots on target: Despite not starting since September, Harvey Barnes has been no stranger to a shot on target. The winger has five SOTs in five sub appearances, averaging one every 24 minutes. You can expect Barnes to start tonight, so let's hope he recreates his recent numbers.
Lucas Bergvall 2+ fouls: The young Swedish midfielder loves a foul, and Newcaslte are notoriously strong at drawing fouls in midfield. In six starts this season, Bergvall has eight fouls, and looking at games where he committed 2+ last season this looks a prime spot for him to hit this number again.
Fabian Schar 1+ foul: Schar should return to the starting 11 for Newcastle tonight, and he is another player who loves a foul (five fouls in five EFL starts last season). He could come up against one of (or both) Mathys Tel and Richarlison, who have drawn 15 fouls in 13 starts combined this season.
