Premier League Predictions and Best Bets: Newcastle to Drag Spurs Further into Relegation Picture

In a crucial midweek Premier League clash on Tuesday, February 10, 2026, at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, struggling Tottenham Hotspur host Newcastle United in Gameweek 26. Both teams are mired in mid-table mediocrity, far from their Champions League aspirations, with managers under mounting pressure.[2][3]

Teams in Crisis

Tottenham, sitting 15th with 29 points from 25 games, are winless in seven league outings following a 2-0 defeat at Manchester United, where captain Cristian Romero was sent off early. Injuries to key defender Destiny Udogie exacerbate their defensive woes, and they've won just twice in ten 2026 matches. Dominic Solanke has been a bright spot, scoring 13 goals in his last 19 home starts, but Spurs' home form remains dreadful.[3][4][5]

Newcastle, 12th on 33 points, lost 3-2 at home to Brentford, marking three straight defeats and boos for Eddie Howe. The Magpies have won only two of 12 away games, earning one point in their last four league trips, though they're unbeaten in five against Spurs. Their attack is potent (xG of 1.55 per match), but defensive vulnerabilities persist, with both teams scoring in recent outings.[2][4][5]

Prediction and Best Bets

Analysts predict a high-scoring draw: Tottenham 2-2 Newcastle. Both sides' poor form—Spurs' slump and Newcastle's travel sickness—points to shared spoils in an entertaining affair. Both teams to score is a strong bet, having occurred in 11 of the last 12 head-to-heads. Newcastle are slight favorites at 13/10, Spurs at 15/8, draw at 5/2. Bet Builder tips include over 2.5 goals, given Newcastle's volatile profile.[1][2][3][5]

This match could deepen Spurs' relegation fears, as Newcastle's danger men punish defensive lapses. Key stat: Newcastle won just two of 15 recent away games.[5] Viewers can tune in on TNT Sports 3 at 19:30 GMT.[5]
