For the 32nd matchday of the English Premier League, Newcastle welcomes Tottenham St. James' Park.
Rough landing for Newcastle last week in Birmingham, beaten 3-0 by Aston Villa. She never entered the match and "entered" defensively, especially in the first half, as a result of which she conceded a goal in the 11th minute, while in two cases she was saved by the goalposts (1', 15') and in several more by her goalkeeper. In the replay, the pace of the match did not change, the hosts were simply more efficient and scoring two more goals shaped the final result.
Thus ended a 5 game winning streak for Newcastle and dropped to 4th place in the standings with 56 points and minus 3 from 3rd Manchester United and plus 3 from 5th Tottenham.
A shock result for Tottenham the previous matchday, the 3-2 home defeat by Bournemouth. He entered the match strongly and in the first half hour he had opened the scoring while he had opportunities for a second goal as well. But not only did he not succeed, but in the 38th minute he conceded the equalizer and at the start of the replay he found himself chasing the score. Then he pressed suffocatingly and in the 88th minute he was justified with the equalizing goal, but in the 96th minute he "succeeded" and conceded a third goal and lost the match.
With this defeat, he lost ground in the battle of the four, remained at 53 points and in 5th place in the standings, at minus 3 from Newcastle and at plus 2 from 6th Aston Villa.
Big derby against the background of the four. Both teams are coming off bad results with troubled performances and need to get back to winning ways. The odds show the home team as big favorites but I don't think they will have an easy task against the very high-quality but often frivolous Tottenham. I expect a close battle with goals from both sides but with nerves and a lot of duels.
