Match review Newcastle vs Tottenham, 3:00 a.m. October 30: Equal battle

VHO - Commentary on the match between Newcastle vs Tottenham, round 4 of the English League Cup, impressive home form becomes an important support to help Eddie Howe and his team confidently win tickets to continue.

Newcastle vs Tottenham form

Newcastle vs Tottenham is probably the most evenly matched match in the fourth round of the League Cup. Before competing for a ticket to the quarter-finals, both sides had easy and convincing victories against opponents from the lower leagues.

Both teams are currently in impressive form. After a difficult start to the season, Newcastle have shown signs of improvement as October approaches. In their last five appearances, the St James' Park team have won four and lost only once.

In the last 3 times hosting guests, the team under the direction of coach Eddie Howe won all, scoring 7 and only conceding 1 goal. Obviously, home field advantage will be one of the important factors that bring great confidence to The Magpies before welcoming Tottenham.

In the last 3 seasons, Newcastle's head-to-head record has also been superior. In the last 6 encounters within the Premier League, the northeastern giants have won 5 and lost only 1. In addition, in the last 3 times hosting Spurs, the home team has also won, scoring 12 and conceding only 2 goals.

A difficult start has left Newcastle currently ranked 12th in the Premier League, 5 points behind the top 4. The goal of finding a ticket to the European Cup is still within reach of Eddie Howe and his team, but to hope to go through the second consecutive season with a title, The Magpies will probably have to rely most on the League Cup, the tournament in which they are the defending champions.

On the other side of the front line, Tottenham had very good preparation before the trip to St James' Park. Last weekend, despite having to visit Everton's "fortress" Hill Dickinson, the Roosters still excellently returned with a resounding 0-3 victory.

Home field advantage may help Newcastle win the ticket to continue

There is a rather odd fact, Tottenham are playing better away than at home. In 7 away matches since the beginning of the season, Spurs have never returned empty-handed. The away team has won 4 and drawn 3. The most notable of which is the 2-0 defeat of Man City in round 2 of the Premier League.

However, under coach Thomas Frank, Tottenham has not really shown a stable face. Typically, the 2 sweaty draws in the Champions League on the field of opponents who were considered weaker such as Bodo/Glimt or AS Monaco.

In addition, the lack of force is also another point to note for the away team. Many pillars such as James Maddison, Ben Davies, Radu Dragusin, Dejan Kulusevski, Dominic Solanke, Yves Bissouma, Destiny Udogie, Cristian Romero or rookie Kota Takai are all having to be friends with the medical team.
