Newcastle vs Tottenham Prediction, 03:00 October 30: Magpies' Fear

TPO - Football analysis Newcastle vs Tottenham, round of 16 of the English League Cup - Information on forces, expected lineup, performance, history of confrontation. Both teams are full of confidence thanks to good performance in the arena. But in the correlation between the two teams, Newcastle is the more confident team.

Pre-match comments Newcastle vs Tottenham

Having suffered disappointment at times last season, both Newcastle and Tottenham are now finding their strength again. Both are confident of going deep in this year's League Cup as they realise that this is a good opportunity for them to win a title.

Newcastle are the reigning League Cup champions. Last season, they defeated Liverpool to end a decades-long trophy drought. That victory salvaged a generally unsuccessful campaign for the team. They could not go far in the participating arenas, especially could not enter the Top 4 of the Premier League despite being assessed as having a strong squad.

Eddie Howe's side have made an explosive start to the season, maintaining their perfect record in cup competitions. They beat Bradford City 4-1 in the last round of the League Cup and have won their previous two Champions League games against Union SG and Benfica.

Newcastle have lost their star man Alexander Isak but have found inspiration in Harvey Barnes. The talented 27-year-old winger has scored three goals in the Champions League and one in the League Cup this season. The former Leicester City winger can play in a number of positions and will be a real threat to Tottenham.

Form, head-to-head record Newcastle vs Tottenham

On the other side of the front line, Tottenham are in good form. Spurs have returned to winning ways with a series of impressive results. They beat Man City, overcame Leeds and most recently thrashed Everton 3-0. The reigning European Cup Winners' Cup champions seem to be "changing skin" this season. Except for the draw with Monaco, Spurs have scored in their last 9 matches, statistics show the formidableness of the new team with Xavi Simon, Bergvall or Matthis Tel.

But St James' Park is not their ideal hunting ground. Tottenham have lost 4 of their last 5 meetings with Newcastle during this period. The worst was the 0-4 defeat in April last year. It is likely that the losing streak to Newcastle will stop Tottenham's progress, especially when they lose many key players.

Newcastle vs Tottenham squad information

The hosts will be without Valentino Livramento, Lewis Hall, Yoane Wissa and Harrison Ashby due to injury, while Sven Botman is still a doubt. However, of these, only two names hold important roles in their operating system: Livramento and Wissa.
