EPL: Newcastle, Spurs fight for Champions League spot
JustBet offers Spurs at odds of $2.28 to beat Newcastle
Teams fighting for European places will collide in some massive clashes this weekend as Newcastle host Tottenham, then later in the day, red-hot Stuttgart will host Eintracht Frankfurt in the German Bundesliga in what should be a pulsating affair.
Event # 1 –EPL– Newcastle vs Tottenham– 6:30 AM
Newcastle will host Tottenham tomorrow, Saturday, in a match that could prove to be a significant step in both team’s chase for European football next season. Tottenham currently sits fourth in the table, but Aston Villa are hot on their heels, as both teams are on 60 points.
Newcastle are currently eighth in the table, two points behind Manchester United in sixth, and a victory for Newcastle could provide a real push for them in terms of their European qualifications hopes.
Newcastle enter this match in excellent form, having gone unbeaten at home in three months and have gone unbeaten in their last three matches in the league, winning twice during this run.
Tottenham are also in good form having seen off Nottingham Forest 3-1 last weekend, a result that moved them above Aston Villa in that coveted fourth and final Champions League spot. Tottenham will be aiming to replicate the form that they showed when both teams met earlier in the season with Tottenham cruising to a 4-1 win.
Tottenham are in control of their own destiny to secure Champions League football, with them sitting fourth, with seven games to end the season. They know they need to continue winning games especially at home, but they still have the big three in the league to play. So, a win away at Newcastle isn’t a foregone conclusion for Tottenham as they have won just one of their last six away matches in the league.

Event # 2 GER – Stuttgart vs Frankfurt – 11:30 AM
Stuttgart will be aiming to build on their hard-fought 1-0 win away to Dortmund last weekend when they host Frankfurt in yet another vital Bundesliga match.
They are currently third in the table, level on points with outgoing champions Bayern Munich, who are in second place. Stuttgart have been playing well having gone unbeaten in their last six matches at home, winning four and drawing two during this run. They have won five of their last six matches and hold a seven-point advantage over fifth placed Dortmund, with just six matches remaining in the season. A victory at home will see Stuttgart leapfrog Bayern Munich into second spot, if Bayern fail to win their match, as they have lost their last two matches in the league.
Frankfurt’s best possible finish at this stage of the season appears to be a place in the Europa Conference league. They enter this round of matches in sixth position and boast a six-point advantage over seventh placed Augsburg. However, Frankfurt haven’t been consistent enough to be certain to secure sixth place as they have struggled for wins in recent weeks.
They have gone three matches without a win and enter this match off the back of two consecutive drawn games. Away form doesn’t inspire confidence for Frankfurt who have lost two and drawn two of their last four away games.
Justbet customers who makes a bet for $1,500 or more from March 1 to April 28, 2024, will be entered into a draw to win a trip to the 2024 UEFA Champions League finals.
