Tottenham vs Newcastle prediction and odds: Harry Kane tipped to score a brace to keep Champions League hopes alive

The business end of the season is fast approaching and Tottenham are still within a chance of Champions League and will need to make sure their form is consistent enough to secure a top four place, starting with Newcastle United. Antonio Conte's side will welcome a resurgent Newcastle side who will be looking to get back to winning ways after suffering back-to-back defeats.

Spurs are the favourites at 1/2 with Betfred while Newcastle are 11/2 and a draw is 16/5. Conte's side are playing some of their best football so far this season and they should have too much firepower for Eddie Howe's side but the hosts are vulnerable at the back which might be enough for the Magpies to test goalkeeper Hugo Lloris which makes Spurs to win and both teams to score appealing at 9/4.

Conte's side have climbed to fifth in the after seeing off rivals West Ham United 3-1 just before the international break. The win was a big six-pointer in the fight for top four with West Ham in the frame to go one step better than last season's finish.

Meanwhile, Howe's Newcastle will want to get back to their strong form we saw before the international break after suffering defeats to Chelsea and Everton. The club sit nine points clear of 18th-place Watford but know it is not enough with nine matches left to go until the end of the season.
