Newcastle United are enduring a miserable run of form and John Carver's men will be aiming to stop the rot when they play host to Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday afternoon.
A 2-0 defeat against Liverpool at Anfield on Monday night marked a fifth successive Premier League loss for the Magpies, while John Carver's men have managed just one goal in their last five outings.
Given Newcastle's dismal form of late, it is little surprise to see the hosts chalked up at a chunky with Sportingbet to take maximum points from Sunday's clash, while the same firm go that the match ends in stalemate.
Spurs, too, were beaten last weekend, as Mauricio Pochettino's side suffered a 1-0 reverse at the hands of Aston Villa at White Hart Lane.
Nevertheless, it is the away side that are chalked up as favourites to win at St James' Park, with Sportingbet offering a tempting quote for a Spurs win on Sunday afternoon.
It is worth noting that Mauricio Pochettino's side have managed just two goals in their last five matches away from home in all competitions and, with John Carver's men woefully short of confidence in front of goal, a low-scoring encounter seems likely when these two sides go head-to-head on Sunday.
The quote from Sportingbet for fewer than three goals to be scored on Sunday appears to be a solid selection for punters, while the same firm offer that either side fails to find the target on Tyneside.
Despite suffering a setback against Villa last weekend, Spurs still harbour hopes of securing a top-four finish in the Premier League and those anticipating a cruise for Pochettino's men may be tempted by the chunkyfor Spurs (-1) to win this weekend.
However, it is worth noting that Newcastle have not lost by more than a single goal at St James' Park since being beaten 2-0 by Manchester City back in August and Carver's men are capable of frustrating Spurs on Sunday.
Therefore, it is the generous quote from Sportingbet for fewer than three goals to be scored at St James' Park that is the recommended play for punters ahead of Sunday's showdown.
