Newcastle United vs Tottenham Betting Tips: X2 (Double chance)

Since the season resumed following the international two-week break in March, Newcastle has displayed a decent form, adding a commendable seven out of a possible nine points from three Premier League outings, a surge that has helped revive their slim continental hopes.

The last outing saw Eddie Howe's squad grinding out a hard-fought victory against a sturdy Fulham defense, sealed by Bruno Guimaraes' 81st-minute winner, yet the road ahead remains steep as they lag 11 points behind sixth-placed Aston Villa, the gatekeepers of the final European spot.

Returning to their nest, the Magpies will look forward with hope to earning a positive result, having refused to be bested in five straight contests at St James' Park (W2, D3), yet Saturday's showdown doesn't promise much in terms of maintaining their home unbeaten streak.

This is because Newcastle's backline is leaking from all corners, as only one clean sheet is all the Blacks and Whites have to show from their last seven fixtures in front of the home crowd, with the incredible fact that they've shipped 3+ goals on four occasions during that time.

Amidst a flurry of conceded goals and a string of sidelined players, the crippled Howe's side will find it a tough ask to get anything out of the weekend clash as they face none other than the high-flying Spurs, who soared into the top-four following a dazzling 3-1 victory over Forest last week.

Perched just behind Emery's Villa on goal difference alone, though they can boast of having a game in hand, Tottenham is acutely aware that there's no room for too many slip-ups, especially with an incredibly tough schedule looming in the final weeks of the season, where they'll lock horns with all three title contenders.

With that in mind, Postecoglou's men, even though they've been poorly on their visits in recent times - winning just two out of their last nine English top-flight road trips - should outclass the depleted Newcastle side, drawing confidence from the fact that they've emerged victorious in four out of the last six encounters at St James' Park.
