Tottenham vs Newcastle tips:
Tottenham Hotspur will be hoping that last week’s thrashing at the hands of Brentford was just a blip, when they face Newcastle United in their first home league game of the season (kick-off 5:30pm, live on Sky Sports).
Despite all the new faces arriving at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, the performance and result at Brentford looked all too familiar for Spurs, who only just avoided relegation last season.
Since that defeat, they have signed Manchester City duo Savio and Omar Marmoush, who will no doubt add quality to the squad, but whether it will be enough to have the immediate impact needed this weekend remains to be seen.
There are also concerns over how Sunday’s opponents, Newcastle, will fare this season following the departure of manager Eddie Howe and several key players, including Anthony Gordon, Bruno Guimaraes and Sandro Tonali, who joined Spurs.
But they looked bright in their season opener and were unlucky not to take all three points against Liverpool at St James’ Park.
Only a penalty in added time, converted by Dominik Szoboszlai, prevented them from getting their first win on the board after Anthony Elanga and Joe Willock were both on target.
Despite the start to the season the football betting sites are still backing Spurs to finish in the top six, as the sixth favourites at odds of 21/10 but it might just take a bit of time for the eight new signings to gel.
Tottenham vs Newcastle betting: New look Spurs to finally click
Spurs have lost six of their last eight league games against Newcastle and you have to go back to 2023 for their last win when Richarlison scored twice in a 4-1 home win.
Since then, they have lost four and drawn one and not kept a clean sheet in their last 14 meetings.
The Magpies have actually won more Premier League matches away at Tottenham than against any other sides with 13 victories, including three in their last four trips.
Despite the history the betting sites have the home side as the favourite at odds of 13/10, while you can get 21/10 on a Newcastle win.
I think we should definitely expect goals because this fixture has never finished goalless in 62 attempts and you can get 7/2 on a score draw.

Tottenham vs Newcastle prediction: Solanke to get off the mark
Five different players scored their first goals of the season in midweek, as Spurs beat London rivals Charlton in the second round of the Carabao Cup and manager Roberto Di Zerbi will be hoping that will be the confidence they needed.
Dominic Solanke, who started the first match on the bench scored the second of the night, while Savio netted on his Spurs debut, just hours after completing his move from City for an initial fee of £75m.
Solanke has scored just 12 Premier League goals since moving from Bournemouth in August 2024, for £55m and he will be hoping for an injury free campaign.
He was restricted to just 22 appearances last season and scored six goals, including a brace in a 2-2 draw against City.
Betting apps are offering 2/1 on him scoring at any time or 6/1 on him scoring last, as he did four times last season, which could be a good option if he’s going to come off the bench again.

If you're planning on having a bet on the Premier League, it's vital to practice responsible gambling.
Betting can be addictive, and it's important to stay in control of your gambling. Never treat gambling as a way to make money, never bet more than you can afford and when the fun stops, stop.
Gambling sites offer punters tools, like deposit limits, profit and loss trackers and self-exclusion options, to help you stay in control.
Try not to get carried away by free bets. But if you ever feel like you need help or advice on gambling addiction, don't hesitate to contact one of the charities or organisations below.
