Newcastle vs Tottenham Nigeria odds comparison

Newcastle travel to face Tottenham on 2 December 2025 in a Premier League showdown that carries significant weight for both clubs. Newcastle enter the fixture on the back of an unbeaten run in their last five matches, recording five straight victories, scoring twelve goals and conceding just three. Their recent form reflects a potent attack – highlighted by multiple scorers such as I. Thiago, J. Murphy and F. Schar – and a tightening defence that has kept clean sheets in three of those games. Tottenham, by contrast, have endured a turbulent spell, managing only one win, one draw and three defeats across their last five outings, with six goals scored against eight conceded. Their defence has been porous, particularly in the 0‑3 loss at Everton and the 0‑2 defeat at Newcastle. Head‑to‑head history shows Newcastle have a slight edge with two home wins, one away win for Tottenham and two draws out of five meetings, the most recent encounter being a 2‑0 cup win for Newcastle. The blend of Newcastle’s attacking rhythm and Tottenham’s defensive fragility suggests a tightly contested match with Newcastle favoured to continue their upward trajectory.

Analyzing the numbers reveals clear divergences. Newcastle’s five‑match run yields a goal‑scoring rate of 2.4 per game and a stingy defensive record of 0.6 goals conceded, with three clean sheets and a spread of eight different goal‑scorers, indicating depth in attacking options. Tottenham, however, average only 1.2 goals while leaking 1.6 per match, and have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last five outings. The timing of goals also offers insight: Newcastle have scored early (4th‑minute J. Murphy) and late (90th‑minute B. Guimaraes), showing persistence throughout the match, whereas Tottenham’s goals have clustered early in the season (first half of the Copenhagen win) and have been absent in recent away fixtures. The contrast in home versus away performance is stark – Newcastle’s home games in the set are all wins, while Tottenham’s away record includes three straight losses, highlighting a potential vulnerability for Tottenham when traveling to St James’ Park.

Following the 2 December clash, Newcastle’s schedule lists no further fixtures in the provided data, indicating the match may be their final listed engagement for the immediate period. Tottenham likewise have no listed games after 2 December, with their most recent upcoming fixtures – a Premier League tie at Arsenal on 23 Nov, a Champions League night against PSG on 26 Nov and a home league game versus Fulham on 29 Nov – all occurring before the Newcastle encounter. Consequently, both clubs will likely approach the game without immediate subsequent commitments, meaning the result could influence end‑of‑season momentum and final league positioning without the distraction of upcoming matches.

Based on the contrasting recent form, the head‑to‑head trend and statistical differentials, Newcastle appear the stronger side heading into the 2 December meeting. Their attack has been prolific and varied, while Tottenham have struggled to find the net away from home and have conceded heavily. The numbers suggest Newcastle should win, likely by a narrow margin given Tottenham’s occasional resilience. A plausible prediction is a 2‑1 victory for Newcastle, with goals potentially coming from the likes of J. Murphy or a late contributor such as B. Guimaraes, and Tottenham possibly pulling one back through a set‑piece or a quick strike.

The data points to Newcastle as clear favourites, making a –1.5 handicap a sensible pick. Both teams have averaged over one goal per game, but Newcastle’s higher scoring rate (2.4 gpg) versus Tottenham’s modest 1.2 suggests the over/under 2.5 market leans towards the over, especially if Newcastle keep their late‑game scoring trend. Both sides have scored in the majority of their recent matches, but Tottenham have failed to keep a clean sheet in five outings, so BTTS (both teams to score) is a viable option, albeit with a moderate risk given Newcastle’s defensive solidity. A recommended betting slip could combine Newcastle –1.5, Over 2.5 goals and BTTS Yes for a balanced exposure to the expected outcome.
