Tottenham Hotspur is going for three wins on the trot when they take on Newcastle United at home on Sunday in English Premier League action. Fresh off the final international break of the year, Tottenham has its sights set on a top-four finish. Their last match was a strong 2-0 shutout over Brighton. It was the team’s third clean sheet in their last four games. They combined to win 10-0 in those games with a 3-2 win over Manchester United in between. 

Newcastle is coming off a disappointing loss to Everton in their last match back on March 17. The loss was the second in a row since Chelsea snapped a 10 game unbeaten streak for Newcastle. Despite that run, Newcastle is still ranked 15th in the EPL ladder after a bad start and a lot of draws along the way.

Tottenham vs. Newcastle Prediction and Pick

The break couldn't have come at a better time for Newcastle. They went from a team unbeaten for almost two months to losing two games in consecutive weeks. I will say though, that despite the losses, they were close games. And one of which was against a good team. Newcastle held third-place Chelsea to a single goal, and almost forced a draw with one of the best teams in the league. However, their other loss was to an Everton ranked 17th and fighting to avoid relegation.  

Tottenham is still targeting a top-four finish and I think will make quick work of Newcastle in this matchup. They have a ton of momentum and a lot more to play for than their opponents. Newcastle is pretty much safe from relegation at this point and has nothing to really play for. But, every match is huge for the Spurs down the stretch as they try to catch Arsenal on the ladder. 

PICK: Tottenham -190 to win
