Tottenham vs Newcastle Prediction 10 February 2026
🔊 Are Tottenham even aiming to win the Premier League? If Thomas Frank's team keeps up their current form, they might find themselves in a relegation battle. Meanwhile, Newcastle, who visit London in the 26th round, aren't too far ahead, leading the Spurs by just 4 points. However, the bookmakers have lost so much faith in Tottenham that they are favoring the visitors. Is this justified?
Head-to-Head
📊 The odds are partly influenced by the fact that Tottenham have failed to beat Newcastle in 7 of their last 8 head-to-head encounters. In the first-round match of the current Premier League season, Spurs were on the brink of defeat, but Cristian Romero saved them in the 95th minute. The Argentine scored a brace in that game.
Head-to-head statistics Tottenham - Newcastle
Tottenham Hotspur Team Overview
Tottenham's success this season is largely tied to the Champions League, where they've surprisingly climbed into the top four. However, in other competitions, particularly the Premier League, it's been a different story. The Spurs haven't secured a league victory since late December, and if you consider only their home games, their last win came at the start of winter when they defeated Brentford 2-0.
In the last round, the Lilywhites initially held their own against Manchester United. However, things took a turn for the worse when captain Cristian Romero was sent off with a red card in the 29th minute, effectively dooming his team. Reduced to ten men, the Spurs were unable to mount any significant challenge and deservedly lost 2-0.

Newcastle United Team Overview
Newcastle's situation currently looks even worse than Tottenham's. The team has simply crumbled under the pressure of a congested and challenging schedule. Consecutive matches against top clubs have led to a five-game winless streak, and in the Premier League, the Magpies have lost three in a row, conceding a total of nine goals.
Moreover, in the last round, they suffered a home defeat, and not to a team with a "top" label. A significant xG difference (2.91-1.87) wasn't enough for Eddie Howe's side to overcome Brentford (2-3), even though the Magpies took the lead through Sven Botman's effort. Captain Bruno Guimarães returned to the pitch and registered both a goal and an assist, but the Brazilian's contributions weren't enough.

Latest news
Tottenham Hotspur
🎙 "I think we had a solid first 30 minutes in what was a challenging away game at a tough stadium against a team in form and full of confidence. I'm proud of how we played after the red card. The players showed resilience and the right mentality-we stayed in the game, posed a threat, and tried to create chances. I'm very proud of the team. The players gave 100%. And I'm also proud of the fans-you could hear them for all 90 minutes," said Thomas Frank following another disappointing result.
❌ Tottenham are not spared by injuries. Rodrigo Bentancur, Lucas Bergvall, Ben Davies, Kevin Danso, Mohammed Kudus, Dejan Kulusevski, James Maddison, Djed Spence, Richarlison, and Pedro Porro have been sidelined for several matches now. Destiny Udogie's recent injury, according to Thomas Frank, will keep him out for 4-5 weeks. Additionally, Cristian Romero is suspended for four matches.
Newcastle United
🎙 "I always try to be honest, whether we played well or poorly. On Saturday, I was very disappointed with the result. The game didn't meet the level we wanted to demonstrate. We'll try to take control of the situation and focus on the future," stated Eddie Howe after the defeat to Brentford.
❌ Emil Krafth, Tino Livramento, Fabian Schär, Joelinton, and Anthony Gordon will not play against Tottenham due to injuries. According to Eddie Howe, only Lewis Miley (knee) has a chance to recover in time for the match.
🟨 Referee and Yellow Cards
Newcastle tend to pick up a few cautions, even when playing away (1.58 per game). However, avoiding yellow cards in the upcoming match seems unlikely, given they're facing Tottenham-arguably the Premier League's most aggressive team. At home, the Spurs are particularly relentless, averaging 2.92 yellow cards per game. With these factors in mind, betting on the hosts not losing in the yellow card count appears a safe choice. We anticipate that Anthony Taylor, who averages 3.9 bookings per game, will issue the majority to Thomas Frank's men.
⚽️ Goal Prediction
There's no need to overthink this bet, as both teams have found the net in 11 of their last 12 Premier League head-to-heads. This strong trend is further supported by the fact that the both teams to score (yes) bet has hit in 6 of Tottenham's last 7 home league matches.
🚩 Corner Prediction
Here, we suggest taking a risk with a bet offering attractive odds-over 5.5 corners for Newcastle. The Magpies have surpassed this mark in 8 consecutive head-to-heads with Tottenham and in 12 of their last 13 Premier League matches. Eddie Howe's side approach the corner flag more frequently than any team in the league, averaging 6.72 times per game this season.
Editorial Prediction
Both teams are struggling with form and have numerous injury concerns, particularly Tottenham. However, it's important to note that Newcastle tend to perform poorly away from their home ground, St James' Park. We believe a draw would be a fair outcome, likely a high-scoring one at that-just like their previous encounter, ending in a 2-2 draw. Both sides have players who can find the back of the net, but their defenses are quite vulnerable. Therefore, our primary bet is on both teams scoring-both teams to score (yes).
