Newcastle will take a great hit, from the absence of top scorer Andy Carroll who hasn’t recovered yet from thigh injury. With Carroll out of the attack, the hopes are for Kevin Nolan to be effective, since he already has 10 goals in the season. He is priced to score at 3.20.
Tottenham enjoyed a victory over Arsenal with 3:2, but since then has only 1 away victory against Aston Villa. The team has a real shot at the title this year, and has the ambition to keep gathering victories. Rafael Van Der Vaart has scored already 9 goals and is one of the most successful transfers this year. He is priced to score at 2.37
Although Newcastle plays well at home, something they showed in the games against Liverpool and Chelsea, the team failed against Manchester City. Tottenham has a good squad this year that most likely will try to make a move on the title. To be honest this is a pretty equal game, home the absence of Andy Carroll tips the scales in favor of Tottenham for sure.
