Undoubtedly, the match between Tottenham and Newcastle is going to be spectacular. Both teams have very strong attacking players and definitely perform attractive football. For the first time this season the guests of Newcastle will get into a game with a little more confidence, having achieved two important wins in a row, which moved them away from the relegation zone. The come back agains Chelsea last weekend was really impressive and fully deserved. Bearing in mind the last two matches of Newcastle we can assume that they have in front of them better results. However, the visit to London will be extremely difficult for "The Magpies".
Last season Tottenham literally crushed "The Magpies" at White Hart Lane with 5-0. "The Spurs" are one of the most efficient teams when it comes to counter-attacks. The fast Lennon and Bale will no doubt plague the uncertain, this season, defense of Newcastle . If the guests fail to organize well in defense for this match, this may again lead to a huge loss for them. "The Spurs" are unbeaten in 9 consecutive matches in the league, but in their last four meetings the team does not seem to be very convincing as they scored only 3 goals. Moreover, 2 of those goals came through the individual skills of Gareth Bale. The return of Emmanuel Adebayor will definitely boost the attack of Tottenham, but the fatigue accumulated after the African Cup of Nations will likely have its negative impact.
Tottenham has been excellent this season and the team is behind only 1 point from the third Chelsea. For Newcastle, however, this year is a nightmare, after some very poor results, many injured players and the loss of the main scorer - Demba Ba. However, in the team a new star is born- Moussa Sissoko, with whom new hopes for better performance arise. "The Spurs" have not conceded a goal in 6 of their last 8 home games against Newcastle in all competitions and maybe Moussa Sissoko is the man who will change this statistic. The bookmakers mark Tottenham as absolute favorite to win this match with odds of around 1.65, while the odds for Newcastle to win are really attractive 5.75
