Tottenham Hotspur vs Newcastle United
English Premier League, KO: 16:30 Oct 23, 2022, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
TOTTENHAM HOTPSPUR will be bidding to bounce back from a bruising midweek defeat when they square off with Newcastle United in the Premier League on Sunday.
Spurs made the trip to Old Trafford earlier this week to take on Manchester United amidst talk of a potential title tilt but they were beaten 2-0 on the night and were fortunate to avoid an even heavier defeat.
Despite that setback, the capital club remain in third, and that was only their second league defeat of the season, however it would be fair to say some of their recent performances have made for uninspiring viewing.
Antonio Conte will demand an immediate response when his team take to the field this weekend but they should expect little respite when high-flying Newcastle come calling.
The Magpies have made massive strides since the turn of the year, amassing 57 points from 30 games in 2022, the most recent of which were earned with a 1-0 win over Everton.
That midweek victory has reinforced Newcastle's place in the top-six of the Premier League table, and Eddie Howe's team certainly won't be fazed by the task in hand here following their resilient display against Manchester United at Old Trafford last weekend.
Outright Betting
Tottenham Hotspur, who boast the only remaining 100% home record in the Premier League this season, head into this game as 21/20 (Bet 365) favourites.
Despite losing just one of their opening 11 league games of the season, Newcastle make the trip south as 5/2 (Bet 365) outsiders while a share of the spoils can be backed at a best 27/10 (UniBet).
Betting Angles
I unsuccessfully tipped Harry Kane in the To Score Or To Assist market at Old Trafford in midweek and I make no apology for siding with the same selection on Sunday at 4/5 with PaddyPower.
While Tottenham have blown hot and cold away from home this season, they have been a different beast altogether when operating at their North London headquarters.
That home comfort can be attributed to the performances of their talismanic striker Harry Kane who has notched in each of his last four top-flight appearances at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
What's more, the Spurs sharpshooter is the second-top goalscorer in the Premier League this season, having chalked up eight strikes in 11 appearances thus far.
Granted, Eddie Howe will have his Newcastle side well drilled and they will be a tough nut to crack, but the Toon have conceded at least once in three of their last five league games, as well as three of their five road games this term.
With this in mind, backing the aforementioned Kane to either score or assist at 4/5 with PaddyPower holds plenty of appeal given that Spurs are the more established side with more all-round quality.
Although both teams are averaging in the region of 1.5 cards per-game this season, I'll also have a small lean on the 11/8 with William Hill on both teams to see over 19.5 Booking Points in what should be a closely fought contest.
The above-mentioned combination clicked when these two teams crossed paths at this venue towards the tail end of last season and the same selection would also have delivered profit from thee of the five Premier League games that referee Jarred Gillet has taken charge of this term to date.
