Tottenham host Newcastle at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, with kick-off scheduled for 2026-02-10 at 19:30 UTC. In the Premier League table, Tottenham sit 15th on 29 points, while Newcastle are 12th with 33 points. Recent head-to-head history clearly leans Newcastle’s way: across the last five meetings in all competitions, Newcastle have three wins and two draws, remaining unbeaten against Spurs.
Team analysis
Form and momentum slightly edge towards Newcastle. Tottenham’s league form string of “LDDLL” underlines a poor recent run, while Newcastle’s “LLLDW” is also shaky but at least ends with a win. Over the full season, both sides have identical overall scoring rates (1.4 goals scored and 1.4 conceded per game), but the home/away split is revealing.
At home, Tottenham average 1.3 goals scored and 1.3 conceded (15 for, 16 against in 12 games). They have only two home wins from 12 and just two home clean sheets, suggesting vulnerability in London. The injury list deepens their problems: key attackers and creators such as Richarlison (7 league goals), Mohammed Kudus (2 goals, 5 assists), Dejan Kulusevski and James Maddison are all listed as “Missing Fixture”. Defensive leader Cristian Romero is suspended. This combination significantly weakens both Spurs’ attacking threat and defensive stability.
Newcastle away are conservative but competitive: 11 goals scored and 16 conceded in 12 away games (0.9 for, 1.3 against). They have four away clean sheets and six games without scoring, pointing to low-scoring, tight contests on the road. However, their main offensive star Bruno Guimarães (9 goals, 4 assists) is fully available and not on the injury list, giving them a clear individual edge. Some defensive absentees (Fabian Schär, Tino Livramento) and the loss of Joelinton matter, but the spine remains more intact than Tottenham’s.
Verdict & score prediction
The statistics suggest a cautious, relatively low-scoring game, with Newcastle’s more settled core and Tottenham’s extensive injury crisis tilting the balance. History favors Newcastle, and Spurs’ poor home record plus the absence of Richarlison and Kudus severely dents their attacking ceiling.
Prediction: Tottenham 1–2 Newcastle.
