Tipster Wizard’s Newcastle vs Tottenham
3/1 Bet Builder
Newcastle United vs Tottenham Hotspur – Sun 1 Sept, 13:30
Joelinton leads the Newcastle leaderboard for fouls committed with five fouls in just two games so far in the Premier League, averaging 2.5 fouls per game. He is an aggressive tackler and will be up against the likes of Maddison, Bissouma and Sarr in the midfield battle so expect him to get stuck in and commit a couple of fouls in the process.
He committed 2.02 fouls per game last season, and I expect him to hit his average here again.
Destiny Udogie is Tottenham’s most aggressive defender who loves flying into tackles. He has also committed five fouls in two games so far, averaging 2.5 fouls per game and should be in for a tough afternoon away from home.
He was averaging 1.91 fouls per game and 2.59 tackles per game last season, and he also loves a cynical foul on the counter.
Player Stats – Pedro Porro 3+ Tackles
BET NOWPedro Porro was averaging 2.77 tackles per game last season and will be up against the tricky Gordon who loves a dribble. He committed five tackles across the two head-to-head meetings in the Premier League against Newcastle despite playing just 49 minutes in one of the games.
He will be expected to play the full 90 minutes, so I expect high tackle numbers from him again.
