Sports Betting: Tottenham vs. Newcastle Odds

Tottenham Hotspur loves to frustrate its fans. The team has always been touted as a possible contender for the Champions League positions. However, they have only made Europe’s elite competition once over the past decade. Considering the quality of players they have possessed and the money they spend, that is a poor return. Their chairman is hoping that Mauricio Pochettino will be able to guide the team to the top four this season.

For Newcastle, expectations are a lot lower. Their fans have become increasingly unhappy at the management of Alan Pardew. They believe that the manager does not have ambition. He is happy to see the team lose in cup competitions, while avoiding relegation is all he wants from the league. Reports of Pardew losing his job refuse to go away, and a poor result at Spurs could seal his fate.

Unfortunately for Alan Pardew, it does not appear that the bookies fancy Newcastle to get anything from this game. Tottenham are favorites to claim all three points, with a price of 4/6. The draw can be found at 29/10, while a Newcastle win is all the way out at 17/4. The bookies believe that it will take an exceptional performance from Newcastle to get a win away from home against Spurs.

Writing off Newcastle in this game would be a mistake from betters. They may be going through a rough patch, but the players will want to show that they are still fighting for their manager. With Pardew’s future hanging by a thread, expect his team to come out all guns blazing in this game. An early goal or two would give Newcastle a tremendous chance.

West Brom have already shown that White Hart Lane is no fortress this season. They secured a comfortable 1-0 win over Spurs a few weeks ago. Newcastle will be attempting to repeat this feat. At a price of 17/4, this could be a good bet.
