Newcastle vs Tottenham Prediction 3 December 2025

🔊 Will Tottenham's winless streak continue? Currently, it stands at four matches. Interestingly, the Spurs have also failed to defeat their upcoming opponent, Newcastle, in their last four encounters. They will make another attempt on Tuesday at St James' Park during the 14th round of the Premier League. However, this task won't be easy, as the Magpies have not dropped any points at home across all competitions for six consecutive games. Which team has a better chance of success? Let's delve into our prediction.

Head-to-Head

📊 Tottenham have come up short in their last four encounters against Newcastle. Over a span of ten games, the situation isn't as bleak, yet the Magpies still hold a significant edge with six wins to Spurs' three. There has been one draw. Matches between these teams are consistently thrilling, with 9 out of 10 games featuring a total of over 2.5 goals.

Newcastle United Team Overview

Newcastle's recent performances, much like their club colors, have been a mix of black and white. The Magpies have alternated between wins and losses over their last six games. They've managed to string together two or more consecutive victories only twice this season, with their latest streak being three matches. However, at St James' Park, Eddie Howe's side have been in impressive form, securing six consecutive home wins.

On the road, though, things haven't been as straightforward for Newcastle. Until matchday 13 of the Premier League, their away losing streak had stretched to four games. But they took a significant step towards stability in their recent clash against Everton at Goodison Park. The outcome was decided before halftime as the visitors netted three unanswered goals. In the second half, they extended their lead to four. The Toffees had a potential chance to claw back into the game, but one of their goals was ruled out for offside, and after their final effort in the 69th minute, the score remained unchanged at 1-4.

Tottenham Hotspur Team Overview

Spurs appear to have hit the peak of their crisis. Tottenham's winless streak has now stretched to four matches. Previous results could be attributed to a tough schedule, facing the likes of Manchester United and Arsenal in the Premier League (2-2; 1-4), and Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League (3-5). However, the truly disheartening form of Thomas Frank's side was revealed in their 13th league match against Fulham (1-2).

The clash with Fulham was supposed to offer Spurs a chance to emerge from their potential crisis, especially given it was held at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Yet, the Lilywhites struggled against the visitors' early surge, conceding twice in the opening ten minutes. Despite dominating possession (63% to 37%) and creating more attacking opportunities (14 shots with 1.22 xG compared to 7 shots with 0.8 xG), they managed to score just once in the second half.

Newcastle United

🎙 Nick Woltemade shared his thoughts on adapting to life in England. "The transition was really smooth. The guys gave Malik Thiaw and me a very warm welcome. The fans have already created a homely atmosphere. It's a nice feeling for us. I think I can improve my game, but I'm scoring goals, and that's the most important thing for a forward. I'm very happy to experience these positive feelings at my new club, especially in a new league," the striker said. It's worth noting that Woltemade became Newcastle's most expensive signing this summer at €85 million. The German, alongside Harvey Barnes, is the team's top scorer with seven goals across all competitions.

❌ Ahead of the match against Everton, it was revealed that Sven Botman is dealing with back issues. As a result, the defender missed the 13th round Premier League game. Kieran Trippier, William Osula, and Yoane Wissa also remain sidelined.

Tottenham Hotspur

🎙 In the 6th minute of the game against Fulham, with the score at 0-1, Tottenham's goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario made a costly error. The Italian rushed to the edge of the box to intercept a lob but mishandled the ball, inadvertently passing it to an opponent, leading to a goal from outside the penalty area. For the remainder of the first half, Spurs fans booed Vicario every time he touched the ball. After the match, the goalkeeper apologized to the fans, saying, "I take full responsibility for the second goal we conceded. Moments like these hurt, especially when the result doesn't go our way. Now more than ever, we need to fight harder and give everything for this club."

❌ Aside from the usual list of injured players—Dominic Solanke, Yves Bissouma, James Maddison, Dejan Kulusevski, Ben Davies, and Radu Dragusin—the recent match against Fulham also saw team captain Cristian Romero absent. It was nothing serious, just a suspension due to an accumulation of yellow cards. The defender will be available for the game against Newcastle.

🟨 Referee and Yellow Cards

🟨 Referee and Yellow Cards

The main referee for the match is Thomas Bramall. Over his last 20 Premier League matches, he averages 3.7 yellow cards. The head-to-head clashes between these teams are known for their intensity. In 8 of the last 9 encounters, the total number of yellow cards exceeded 3.5. Individually, both teams also play with high intensity. Recent matches involving Tottenham average slightly more cautions: 4 compared to 3.4 in their last five games. Both clubs are tied on points and sit next to each other in the standings, so their desire to edge closer to European competition spots should impact the number of clashes. Our prediction: total yellow cards over 3.5.

⚽️ Goal Prediction

The head-to-head matchups between these teams are thrilling not only because of the intense battles but also due to numerous scoring opportunities. In 9 out of the last 10 meetings, both sides found the back of the net. Even in their separate matches, both clubs maintain this trend: goals have been scored at both ends in four consecutive games. The attacking stars are in fine form: the duo of Kolo-Muani and Richarlison has combined for six goal contributions (5 goals, 1 assist) in four matches, matching the output of Woltemade and Barnes. All signs point towards a successful bet on both teams to score (yes).

🚩 Corner Prediction

With Niclas Woltemade joining, Newcastle have become even stronger in aerial duels. Even before his arrival, the Magpies had plenty of targets for crosses in Dan Burn and Fabian Schär. Harvey Barnes and Anthony Elanga excel at delivering balls into the box. Statistics back this up, showing Newcastle rank in the top three for corners in home Premier League matches (6.67). We anticipate that Newcastle's total corners will be over 5.5.

Tottenham's recent form has been far from impressive. While their results up to the 13th round of the Premier League could be attributed to a tough schedule, a home defeat to Fulham confirmed Thomas Frank's side is in crisis. Against this backdrop, even Newcastle's inconsistent performances seem enviable. However, the one place where the Magpies can boast reliability is St James' Park, where they are on a six-game winning streak. They also have a slightly less extensive run of victories in head-to-head clashes with Tottenham, having won the last four meetings. We anticipate that this streak might continue on Tuesday. Editor's choice: Newcastle win. Predicted scoreline: 2-1.
