Tottenham are bottom of the Premier League table after round one, sitting on zero points with a goal difference of minus three, while Newcastle sit 11th with a single point from a draw.

That table gap looks stark, but the head-to-head log tells a different story: Newcastle won the most recent meeting 2-1, and Sportsbet's stats insights show Newcastle have won four of the last five EPL meetings between these two clubs. History and early-season form are pulling in the same direction here.

Quick Picks

Our Pick: Double Chance: Newcastle And Draw

Alternative Pick: Both Teams To Score: Yes

Spurs' Home Comforts Under Threat

Tottenham host Newcastle at their own stadium in round two, but home advantage means little given how round one went. Spurs sit 19th on the ladder after their opening loss, while Newcastle occupy 11th spot with a draw to their name.

The recent head-to-head trend, four wins from the last five meetings for the Magpies, sits awkwardly against Tottenham's current position at the bottom of the table.

Both sides have injury concerns heading into this one. Tottenham are reportedly without James Maddison, sidelined by a fractured shoulder, and Dejan Kulusevski remains out with a long-term knee issue, stripping creative depth from an attack that already leaked goals in round one.

Newcastle have their own worries, with Dan Burn out through ankle ligament damage and Joelinton dealing with a groin complaint, but their head-to-head record against Spurs has held up regardless of squad rotation in recent seasons.

Dominic Solanke has opened the scoring in three of his last four appearances against Newcastle, and Yoane Wissa has found the net in two of his last three against Spurs, adding names to the goals trend.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Newcastle United Prediction

Newcastle And Draw via the Double Chance market is the pick here, built on a head-to-head record that has strongly favoured the Magpies and a Tottenham side that starts this campaign bottom of the table with a losing margin of three already on the board.

Newcastle have won three of their last four meetings with this exact scoreline pattern of 2-1, underlining how comfortable they've been in this fixture recently.

What could go wrong here is Newcastle's own injury list, with Dan Burn and Joelinton both out, potentially blunting the defensive solidity that's underpinned their recent dominance in this fixture.
