Tottenham vs. Newcastle prediction, odds: Expert reveals English Premier League picks for Oct. 23
Newcastle #Newcastle
Newcastle United head to London on Sunday and will be looking for a signature victory when they face Tottenham Hotspur in an English Premier League match. The Magpies (4-6-1) have started turning tight games into victories, winning three of their past four matches. That includes a 1-0 home victory against Everton on Wednesday. Meanwhile, Spurs (7-2-2) come into the match at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium off their worst game of this campaign. They lost 2-0 to Manchester United on Wednesday, a match that probably should have been much more lopsided. Now they will try to regroup against a team they have had a lot of success against. Tottenham won both league matchups last season, taking a 5-1 victory in London in their last meeting back in April. They are third in the Premier League table, even on points with second-place Manchester City, while the Magpies are sixth.
Kickoff is set for 11:30 a.m. ET. Spurs are the +109 favorites (risk $100 to win $109) on the money line in Caesars Sportsbook’s latest Newcastle vs. Tottenham odds. Newcastle are +250 underdogs, a draw is priced at +240 and the over/under for total match goals is set at 2.5.

Why you should back Tottenham
Spurs will try to get back on track at home after a major letdown at Old Trafford. Goalkeeper Hugo Lloris kept the game from getting out of hand, saving eight of the 10 shots he faced as Man U fired 28 shots overall. The Frenchman has a 75.6 save percentage and four clean sheets. Tottenham have a plus-10 goal differential overall and have been a much better team at home. They have won all five league matches at Hotspur Stadium this season, outscoring their opponents 15-4. They also are 7-2-1 in the last 10 meetings with the Magpies, with a 20-9 goal advantage over that span.
Harry Kane will be gunning for a goal after failing to score Wednesday for the first time in his past six league matches. He has nine goals this season, and Son-Heung-min has a hat trick and a brace over his past seven matches in all competitions. He had 23 last season, so he can break through at any time. Spurs are the league’s most efficient shooting team, while opponents usually have trouble hitting the target. They put it on frame at a 38% clip, while opponents hit the target 26% of the time, both best in the EPL. Kane and Son have combined for 67 shots overall and 32 on net.
Why you should back Newcastle
The Magpies are loaded with confidence, and their only loss this season came against Liverpool at Anfield. They are 3-3-0 in their past six matches and have scored 10 goals over their past four. They face a Spurs side with injury issues that just gave up 28 shots to Man U. Newcastle have the third-most shots in the league (169). They also control the ball more than 51% of their games, while Spurs hold it 48% of the time. Nick Pope has been one of the league’s best goalkeepers, sharing the league lead with five clean sheets and ranking third in save percentage (81.4).
Newcastle don’t have marquee names, but Miguel Almiron and Bruno Guimaraes are effective up front, and they linked up on a gorgeous Almiron goal for the winner against Everton. It was Almiron’s fifth goal and the assist was the second for Guimaraes, who also has scored twice. Kierian Trippier is the set piece maestro, and he leads the Premier League in corner kicks (55) and passes into penalty area (39). The Magpies have conceded a league-low nine goals, allowing just three during their six-game unbeaten run. They have scored six while allowing four in road matches (1-3-1).
