The upcoming Premier League match between Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur is highly anticipated, given both teams' strong performances this season. Newcastle has had an impressive 14-game unbeaten streak on the road, including winning four out of their first six away matches last season. Their home advantage could prove crucial in this game, especially with Alexander Isak in form, having scored twice against Tottenham at home.

However, Tottenham boasts its own attacking firepower, particularly Son Heung-min and James Maddison, who has provided an assist in four out of his last five Premier League games. No Spurs player has ever assisted a goal in each of their first three games in a single campaign before.

The teams have a history of closely contested matches, with Newcastle winning three of their last four league meetings and Tottenham losing their last two away games against them by an aggregate score of 10-1. However, Opta's supercomputer predicts a narrow win for Newcastle in 38.7% of simulations, with a draw being a possibility in 23.6%.

In terms of team news, Newcastle will be without Sven Botman, Jamaal Lascelles, and Fabian Schär, while Tottenham will be missing Rodrigo Bentancur, Dominic Solanke, and Richarlison. Micky van de Ven is expected to be fit for Spurs.

Both teams are aiming for European spots this season, with Newcastle given a higher chance of finishing in the top four at 22.6%, compared to Tottenham's 16.7%. However, Opta predicts that Newcastle will just miss out on a Champions League spot, finishing fifth, while Spurs are anticipated to end the season in sixth position.
