Look ahead to Saturday’s Premier League clash with our Tottenham vs Newcastle prediction and preview. Can Roberto De Zerbi’s side respond to their opening-day defeat?
Tottenham vs Newcastle: The Key Stats
Tottenham claimed all three points in 43.5% of pre-match simulations by the Opta supercomputer, but Newcastle still have a 31.5% chance of winning. Spurs have won their opening home league game in each of the last five seasons by an aggregate score of 14-1. This is the most played fixture in Premier League history to never end goalless, with at least one goal scored in all 62 meetings.Roberto De Zerbi will be demanding an immediate response as Tottenham host Newcastle United in their first home game of the new Premier League season.
Spurs managed only three league wins at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium last campaign. The third of those victories, beating Everton 1-0 on the final day, saw them avoid relegation by two points.
Jan Paul van Hecke headlined some notable summer arrivals for Tottenham’s rebuild, but they did not get off to a great start, outclassed in Saturday’s 3-0 defeat at Brentford.
Spurs conceded a staggering 3.09 expected goals (xG) from non-penalty shots in that loss, with their only consolation coming from Igor Thiago missing a second-half penalty.
But they do usually bounce back. Tottenham have not lost their opening two Premier League games to start a season since 2011-12, while they last went goalless in back-to-back opening matches in 1992-93.
They did respond with an emphatic 5-1 win over Charlton Athletic in the EFL Cup second round on Tuesday, and they’ll hope that blew off some cobwebs ahead of their first home league game of the season.
There is an encouraging record to extend for Spurs in that regard. They have won their opening home league game in each of the last five campaigns by an aggregate score of 14-1, only once managing a longer such run (11 between 1923-24 and 1933-34).
However, there is a challenging element for De Zerbi to overcome in getting his new signings to gel. One of those new arrivals, Anthony Elanga has already scored more goals (1 from 2 shots) in the 2026-27 campaign than he managed in 2025-26 (0 from 17 shots).
A calm finish after a lung-busting run was fitting reward for Elanga, who made the most sprints of any winger across MD1 this season (23). Nico González available. He was unveiled at St. James’ Park in midweek as the Magpies beat West Brom 3-2 in the EFL Cup following his £50 million move from Man City.
González’s former City teammate – Archie Gray cancelled out
