Podcaster Kris Wallace believes that Newcastle will secure a draw with Tottenham on Saturday, but it will still be enough to keep them in the running for European competition next season. Currently in eighth place in the Premier League, Newcastle is just two points behind sixth-placed Manchester United and 12 points behind fourth-placed Spurs.
Wallace predicts a close match against Tottenham, acknowledging their strength as a team. However, he believes that Newcastle’s injury woes could make a draw a positive outcome for them. He thinks that the race for European football will go down to the wire but remains optimistic about Newcastle’s chances.
Guests Raul Kohli and Anth Young also share their predictions. Kohli expects Newcastle to win 2-1, highlighting their current form and Tottenham’s late-season struggles. He believes that they can secure a fifth-place finish with a strong run-in. On the other hand, Young predicts that they will finish in sixth place, emphasizing the importance of qualifying for any kind of European competition.
All podcasters agree that securing European football is crucial for Newcastle and are hopeful for a strong finish to the season. The full episode can be listened to on BBC Sounds.
