Tottenham v Newcastle United betting odds: Back 9/1 Alexander Isak to come good
Tottenham take on Newcastle United in the Premier League this weekend in desperate need of a victory.
Ange Postecoglou is growing under pressure amid a bad run of form that has seen Spurs collect just one point from the past nine on offer.
Going further back, it is just one win in seven top-flight matches and it does not get any easier as in-form Newcastle are next up at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
And should the Lilywhites fall to another defeat, it will only lead to yet more questions with regards to the man in the dugout, who could do with some help from Daniel Levy.

[All odds courtesy of Sky Bet on 3 January]
Alexander Isak is a man in strong form, having ended 2024 with 25 Premier League goals to his name – only Alan Shearer in 2002 has scored more in a calendar year for the club (27).
Backing Isak to score anytime at 4/5 is one possibility, but an eye-catching request-a-bet is available at 9/1 for the striker to score, both sides to have 2+ corners in each half and for there to be 20+ booking points.
If this contest is as high octane as many predict, that may be a good avenue to go down.
Anthony Gordon has been directly involved in a goal in each of his last four Premier League appearances for Newcastle, meanwhile, and he is 8/1 to open the scoring this weekend.
From a Tottenham perspective, Brennan Johnson is Tottenham’s top scorer in all competitions this season with 11 goals, while he has also either scored (two) or assisted (two) a goal in each of his last four Premier League home games.
Johnson is 1/1 to score or assist against Newcastle, while he is 9/4 to score anytime and 3/1 to assist.
In terms of outside bets, the 66/1 being offered for aforementioned pair Isak and Gordon to score, plus Pape Matar Sarr and Archie Gray to be carded, is down at 66/1.
