Newcastle vs Tottenham Predictions, Tips & Latest Odds
Lewis Watson 
Without a loss to Tottenham in their last five meetings, Newcastle will come into Wednesday night’s EFL Cup clash with Thomas Frank’s side full of confidence.
And there’s plenty more for the Magpies to be singing about away from their head-to-head record with Spurs.
After a stuttering start to the season, Eddie Howe’s men have now taken five wins from their last seven matches, including impressive displays in the Champions League getting the better of Union St. Gilloise and Benfica.
But attention now turns to defending their EFL Cup - the first bit of silverware in their trophy cabinet for 56 years.
Spurs’ trophy drought also ended last season with Europa League glory, and Frank will be eager to push forward in what is always deemed a winnable competition for a top-half Premier League side.
Spurs are up to third in the Premier League standings, have conceded the joint-second fewest goals (7) and hold the joint record for the most goals so far this campaign (17).
Between two in-form teams, something surely has to give this midweek.
Let’s take a look at the best tips and free bets for Wednesday night’s clash at St James’ Park.
Newcastle vs Tottenham Tips
Here are our three free tips ahead of Wednesday's clash at St James'.
Tip 1: Draw & both teams to score
Both Newcastle and Tottenham’s fan bases have got a taste for success after last season, and both Eddie Howe and Thomas Frank would be stupid to towel in on an opportunity like this.
They are showing positive signs in the league and in Europe, respectively, and it could easily be argued that the only real tipping point in this fixture could well be the fact it is being played inside the noisy St. James’ Park.
We’ve only seen two draws between these two sides in their last 26 meetings, so, as the old cliche goes: we’re due one!
Aside from Newcastle’s sticky start in the league, both sides have found form in the attacking third, so backing the BTTS market isn’t a concern.
Tip 2: Newcastle to qualify on penalties
If we’re going all the way at St. James’, then you’ve got to side with the home team when it comes to the penalty shootout.
Newcastle have won four of their last six shootouts whereas Spurs have slumped to five losses in seven.
Penalty shootout form is potentially quite arbitrary, but in one of the most hostile stadiums in the country, this could be the edge that the Magpies need to squeeze this one out and progress to the quarter-finals.
Tip 3: Nick Woltemade to score and assist
Before drawing back-to-back blanks, Newcastle’s new leading light Nick Woltemade bagged five goals in six matches and appeared the perfect antidote following a summer of Alexander Isak-related turmoil.
The German is brimming with confidence in front of goal, scoring with flicks, tricks and classic number 9 strikes (with the number 27 shirt) and assuming he starts on Wednesday, will surely be in the mix to dent Tottenham’s defence.
12/1 says he can do something that he’s yet to do for the Magpies, but did successfully on a number of occasions for Stuttgart and Germany’s U21s: score and assist in a game.
