Newcastle vs Tottenham prediction, H2H and probable lineups - December 2, 2025
One of the marquee fixtures of Matchday 14 in the English Premier League will take place on Tuesday at St. James' Park in Newcastle, where the local side Newcastle United will host London’s Tottenham Hotspur. I’m backing a bet on goals in this clash, given the strong chances for an entertaining encounter.
Match preview
Eddie Howe’s squad has found its rhythm, confidently winning their last two Premier League outings by beating Manchester City and demolishing Everton. The Magpies’ attacking prowess stands out – in their last six matches, at least three goals have been scored in each fixture.
At home, Newcastle are consistently dangerous and often break the deadlock early. The team has won 10 of their last 13 league matches at St. James’ Park, continuing to rack up points despite ongoing injury concerns.
Tottenham, meanwhile, are in a slump and have now gone four matches without a win. The Spurs have picked up just a single point in that stretch, losing their last two games to Arsenal and Fulham by an aggregate score of 2-6.
Despite their dip in form, Tottenham remain potent going forward – especially on the road, where they frequently score at least twice. In five of their last away Premier League games, the total has gone over 2.5 goals. Notably, in Paris during the Champions League clash with PSG, both teams combined for eight goals.
Probable lineups
- Newcastle: Ramsdale, Livramento, Thiaw, Hall, Burn, Guimarães, Miley, Joelinton, Elanga, Barnes, Woltemade
- Tottenham: Vicario, Danso, Gray, van de Ven, Udogie, Porro, Palhinha, Bergvall, Kudus, Richarlison, Kolo Muani
Match facts and head-to-head
- Both teams have scored in 10 of the last 11 head-to-head matches
- At least three goals have been scored in the previous nine Premier League meetings between these sides
- Newcastle have scored at least twice in 10 of their last 13 home league fixtures
Prediction
Newcastle are in fine form and consistently strong at home, while Tottenham make up for their defensive woes with an aggressive attack. Both sides favor high-scoring football, and the head-to-head stats only reinforce the likelihood of a goal-fest. Our prediction: over 2.5 total goals at odds of 1.72.
