Newcastle v Spurs Betting Offer

Two Premiership clubs both suffering from something of an early season crisis meet at St James’ Park on Wednesday night in the Carling Cup third round clash between Newcastle and Spurs, which is live on Sky Sports. Newcastle and Spurs have had nothing short of disasterous starts to the Premier League season, with both clubs occupying the bottom two places in the league table with only one win in ten games between them. Spurs are probably the bigger surprise to be languishing at the foot of the table given several big summer signings they made, which result them being the bookmakers favourites to finish highest in the betting without the big four, with many pundits even tipping them to finish in a Champions League place. However, things haven’t gone quite according to plan for Juande Ramos and there is already talk of him leaving the club less than twelve months in to his tenure. In contrast, it is off the field activities that have impacted on Newcastle’s on field performances. Current owner, Mike Ashley, has alredy made it clear that he intends to sell the club and former boss, Kevin Keegan left following his concerns over the club’s transfer policy. As a result, the Newcastle fans have undertaken fierce demonstration against the current state of affairs.

Both clubs will be looking upon Wednesday’s Carling Cup tie as an opportunity to get back to winning ways with Spurs the favourites to do just that at odds of 6/4 to win the match with bookmaker Paddypower. Newcastle are 13/8 and the draw is 12/5. Spurs should be the more likely winners given their players should be good enough to capitalise on Newcastle’s current plight, which shows no sign of ending soon.
