Tottenham vs Newcastle: Friendly prediction, kick-off time, team news, TV, live stream, h2h today

Newcastle and Tottenham this morning meet in Australia just days after the end of the Premier League season.

Gareth Southgate has described it as “not good news”, with Kieran Trippier it was “not ideal” to be making the trip.

Tottenham finished fifth in the Premier League, bringing their campaign to an end with victory over Sheffield United on Sunday, while Newcastle sealed seventh after easing past Brentford on the final day.

While Spurs are only playing one match in Ange Postecoglou’s home country, Newcastle will also face an A-League All-Star team later in the week.

Newcastle vs Tottenham is scheduled for a 10:45am BST kick-off today, Wednesday, May 22, 2024.

Newcastle vs Tottenham prediction

Motivation is not going to be particularly high in either camp, particularly for those expecting to be involved in Euro 2024 or the Copa America later this summer.

There should be plenty of goals in a match both sets of players could really do without.

Newcastle to win, 4-2.
