The Premier League will bring us yet another spectacular clash, as the most competitive tournament in the world reaches its final stage. Things at the top of the table are as tight as ever and the new riches of Newcastle bring yet another challenge to the already convoluted Big 6.
The Magpies have had a spectacular performance since Eddie Howe became manager of the team, and new signings revitalized a project that was a disaster. We are yet to see the best out of this club, but they already want to prove their worth in the most important club competition in the world, the Champions League.
Tottenham on the other hand, is in shambles and needs to win this match if they don’t want to say goodbye to their top-four chances. Even their qualification to next year’s international competitions is at stake with Brigton, Aston Villa, and Liverpool hot on their heels.
When and where:
Sunday, April 23rd, 2023, at 9:00 am ET in St. James’ Park
Betting Odds:
Newcastle United -116
Tottenham +310
Draw odds:

Where can I watch it?
Why bet on Newcastle United?
Newcastle is still looking to confirm its place in the Champions League next season, but they know that for that they have to face big challenges in the coming weeks. The first of them is Tottenham, a strong team that is also trying to improve its position in the table.
Newcastle saw their good winning streak interrupted in the last round after visiting Aston Villa and being defeated 3-0. Before that, the Geordies had beaten Brentford, West Ham, Manchester United, and Nottingham Forest.
Miguel Almirón is Newcastle’s top scorer this season, but the participation of forwards Isak and Callum Wilson has been of fundamental importance in the goals scored by the team. With Joelliton and Bruno Guimarães controlling the midfield in the toughest games, the three forwards manage to have plenty of freedom to make life hell for opposing defenders.
Why bet on Tottenham?
The Spurs are yet again in a sporting crisis, as they have accustomed us in recent years. They simply cannot find a convincing way to keep their performance through the year, whatever manager or players they have. At the beginning of the season, there was great hype, as Conte is a coach who knows how to win a league title. However, as weeks passed the team fell apart, got rid of the Italian coach after he basically said that the club is crap, and their caretaker manager seems pretty much lost.
They have 16 wins, 5 draws, and a dreadful 10 losses, their most recent being against the humble Bournemouth. They are still in the race for the Champions League but their chances are slimmer every week. This Sunday’s match will be crucial.
Final Betting Analysis: Newcastle vs. Tottenham
St. James Park has become a feared ground once again in the Premier League after many years. And the Spurs should be very afraid, as a loss there will mean saying goodbye to the Champions League, we feel. They’ll come out looking for the win and leave spaces, something that this team of Newcastle loves.
However, the Magpies have shown plenty of times this season that, if their defense has a bad day, they can get steamrolled easily. We believe both will score goals, so go for the OVER at 2.5, but in the end, we think that Newcastle will emerge victorious.
Go for a win for Newcastle at -116. If you bet $100 in a victory for the Magpies at such odds you could get $86.21 for a total payout of $186.21.
