Newcastle begin new era

Newcastle entertain Tottenham on Sunday in their first fixture since the takeover by a consortium led by the Saudi Arabian government’s sovereign wealth fund earlier this month.


Manager Steve Bruce remains in charge for this game at least but his position remains unclear and it may well be the last time he is in the dugout as he prepares for his 1000th game as a manager.

There will be a party atmosphere in the stands now hugely unpopular former owner Mike Ashley is gone, although Bruce may still come in for some flak from the home fans.

We simply don’t know how the players will react to the takeover so making any predictions based on that isn’t the best , but looking at the stats one market that does stand out for our main bet is both teams to score.

Go for goals at St James’ Park

Tottenham won their first three games of the season without conceding but they have struggled defensively since and haven’t managed a clean sheet in seven games across all competitions. Newcastle haven’t managed a shut-out all season and both teams have scored in each of their last five games, while there have been goals at both ends in Spurs’ last four games.

Both teams scored in both meetings between the two sides last season, with six goals in total across the two fixtures, so backing both teams to score looks a good starting point here and a 2-2 result is my pick in the correct score market.

Selection boosts for Bruce

Bruce will be able to call on striker Callum Wilson for the first time since August after he recovered from a thigh issue but he may have to settle for a place on the bench after missing four games. Jamaal Lascelles, Joe Willock and Jonjo Shelvey are also available following injury.

这两支球队在纽卡斯尔最近的五场比赛和热刺最近的四场比赛中都有进球。
热刺已经七场比赛没有失球，纽卡斯尔整个赛季也没有一次失球。
两队在上个赛季的两次交锋中都有进球。
纽卡斯尔开始新时代

纽卡斯尔将于周日迎战托特纳姆热刺，这是自本月早些时候由沙特阿拉伯政府主权财富基金牵头的财团收购该俱乐部以来，纽卡斯尔与托特纳姆热刺的首次比赛。


主教练史蒂夫·布鲁斯至少会继续负责这场比赛，但他的位置还不清楚，这可能是他最后一次在替补席上，因为他正在为他作为主教练的第1000场比赛做准备。

由于不受欢迎的前老板迈克·阿什利的离开，看台上将会有一种派对的气氛，尽管布鲁斯可能仍然会受到一些来自家乡球迷的批评。

我们不知道球员们会对收购做出什么反应，所以基于这一点做出任何预测都不是最好的，但从数据来看，我们的主要赌注是两支球队都能得分。

去圣詹姆斯公园进球吧

热刺在本赛季的前三场比赛中没有失球，但之后他们的防守陷入了困境，在所有比赛中，他们还没有在七场比赛中保持一场不失球。纽卡斯尔整个赛季都没有失球，两队在过去的五场比赛中都有进球，而热刺在过去四场比赛中双方都有进球。

上个赛季，两支球队都在对阵双方的两场比赛中都有进球，两场比赛共进6球，所以支持两支球队得分看起来是一个不错的起点，在正确的比分市场中，2-2是我的选择。

自然选择促进了布鲁斯的成长

自从8月份从大腿伤势中恢复后，布鲁斯将第一次能够召唤前锋卡勒姆·威尔逊，但在缺席了四场比赛后，他可能只能坐在替补席上了。拉塞尔斯、威尔洛克和谢尔维也因伤缺阵。

马特·多赫蒂在塔基之后似乎要错过热刺了
