Tottenham are heading into this match on a bit of a rough run, having lost their last two games and only won two of their last five. They have also drawn once in that stretch, which means they haven’t been able to find consistent form lately. Newcastle, on the other hand, are really struggling right now. They have lost four of their last five matches and only managed a single draw, with no wins at all during that period, so they are clearly not in good shape.

When these two teams have met recently, the games have often been high-scoring and very open. The last three head-to-head matches all saw at least two goals, with two of them ending in 2-2 draws and one finishing 2-1. Looking further back, many of their meetings have featured plenty of goals, including some really one-sided results. Given that both teams are struggling for form but tend to produce exciting, goal-filled matches when they play each other, this game looks like it could be a close and entertaining contest. Based on the recent struggles, especially Newcastle’s poor run, Tottenham might just edge this one, but a draw wouldn't be surprising either.
