Premier League
The historical scales heavily favor Newcastle United, having completely dominated this fixture in recent times. The Magpies brag a ruthless run against Tottenham, winning seven of their last nine competitive encounters while scoring at will. The average number of goals per game over their last 9 meetings is a staggering 3.78.
Tottenham team overview
Tottenham Hotspur enters this one on the back of mixed results to start their new campaign. The Lilywhites looked totally disjointed during a miserable 3-0 opening day defeat at Brentford.
Roberto De Zerbi’s men rebounded brilliantly by thrashing Charlton 5-1 in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday, though.
Honestly, their inconsistency is giving me major flashbacks to last season's absolute chaos. It's a massive redemption year for the club.
They narrowly escaped relegation last term, finishing a shocking 17th with 17 league losses. Their home form was equally dreadful, plagued by 10 domestic defeats at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Spurs look to explosive new signing Sávio to change their fortunes. He already grabbed a debut goal and assist in midweek. Unfortunately, an early injury crisis has already ruled out James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski.

Newcastle United team overview
Newcastle United enters this one on the back of a hard-fought 3-2 victory over West Brom in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday night. The Magpies looked shaky defensively.
Matthias Jaissle’s men have yet to fully hit their stride this season, but grinding out results under a new manager is a great sign. Frankly, watching them repeatedly bail themselves out with desperate, individual goal-line clearances made me realize just how much this backline misses its old defensive structure.
It's all about finding stability after a frustrating 12th-place finish last term. They kicked off their league campaign last weekend by salvaging a gritty 2-2 draw at home against Liverpool.
Their away form last season was particularly concerning, wrapping up their travels with a brutal five-match winless streak on the road.
The squad heavily leans on Harvey Barnes, who already has two goal involvements after smashing home a decisive mid-week brace.
Newly appointed captain Dan Burn, who proudly took over the armband following Bruno Guimarães' summer departure to Arsenal, is currently sidelined with a frustrating ankle injury.

Prediction
Everything points to absolute chaos in London, so I'm boldly backing a frantic 2-2 draw. Both defenses are totally leaky right now. De Zerbi’s men always play high-risk football, while the Magpies just love a high-scoring shootout. I honestly don't see either backline holding firm for ninety minutes. It's bound to be an explosive thriller. Expect plenty of goals on Saturday.
Four reasons we expect three or more goals in this game
- All the last four games of Tottenham finished with 3+ goals.
- Newcastle failed to keep a clean sheet in their last eight games across all comp.
- All Newcastle’s two competitive games this season have produced 4+ goals.
- Bets on over 2.5 goals won in each of the last 11 meetings between Spurs and Newcastle.
