Both teams are currently outside the top 4, so it's a crucial match that ideally needs to be won to keep pace with the top teams in the league. Tottenham has hit a rough patch after a strong start in the league, being winless in the last 5 Premier League matches and losing 4 of them. Newcastle has been inconsistent in their performances, especially struggling to win away from home. They haven't won in the last 4 away matches in the Premier League, and we must go back to September 24th when they defeated Sheffield United 8-0 away for their last away victory.

Last five meetings between Spurs vs. Newcastle:
6-1: Newcastle vs. Spurs
1-2: Spurs vs. Newcastle
5-1: Spurs vs. Newcastle
2-3: Newcastle vs. Spurs
2-2: Newcastle vs. Spurs

Team news:
Both teams are heavily affected by injuries, and it is certainly one of the reasons for their inconsistent results. Tottenham will be without Ashley Phillips, Ivan Perisic, James Maddison, Manor Solomon, Micky van de Ven, Rodrigo Bentancur, several key players who would have been in the starting lineup if they were fit.

Nick Pope is the latest injury for Newcastle, joining a long list of absentees, including Callum Wilson, Dan Burn, Elliot Anderson, Harvey Barnes, Jacob Murphy, Matt Targett, Sandro Tonali, Sven Botman, Sean Longstaff.

Spurs expected lineup:
Vicario; Porro, Dier, Davies, Royal; Sarr, Hojbjerg, Lo Celso; Kulusevski, Son, Johnson.

Newcastle expected lineup:
Dubravka; Trippier, Lascelles, Schar, Livramento; Guimaraes, Joelinton, Miley; Almiron, Isak, Gordon.

Prediction:
It's a match that both teams ideally would not want to lose in the race at the top, so if you asked the two managers, they would probably be satisfied with a point each, considering the injuries on both sides. Matches between these two teams are often high-scoring, so a good prediction for the game might be 2-2. We believe the match will end in a draw, with odds at 3.80 according to Bet365.

At 33 years old, Gündogan made the switch from Manchester City to FC Barcelona this summer, and he has quickly established himself as a key player. He is the most chance-creating player for Barcelona, which is likely why he also leads in assists in La Liga (3). Gündogan is one of the leaders on the team, and he will need to step up even more now that it appears Gavi is out for the rest of the season.

Ilkay Gündogan’s La Liga stats:
◉ 15 games
◉ 1 goal
◉ 3 assists
◉ 11 shots
◉ 31 chances created
◉ 90.5% pass success

Most chances created for FC Barcelona:
◉ Ilkay Gündogan (31)
◉ Ferran Torres (16)
◉ Raphinha (14)
◉ Pedri (14)

Gündogan plays in the number 6 position for Barcelona but has the freedom to join in the offensive play. Alongside Frenkie de Jong and Pedri, he forms the midfield trio, and if the three can stay injury-free, they will become a formidable midfield, having already shown promising performances. Gündogan acts as the conductor, and his leadership skills are crucial for Xavi, especially with several young talents on the team. It can be concluded that Gündogan has been a good signing for Barcelona, contributing both on and off the field.

Dybala has once again struggled with injuries this season and has found it challenging to reach peak form. Now, it seems that he is getting back on track. In the last two matches, he has scored 2 goals and provided 2 assists and thhe partnership with Romelu Lukaku appears to be working, and it can only improve as they spend more minutes playing together.

Paulo Dybala in Serie A 2023/24:
◉ 10 games
◉ 4 goals
◉ 5 assists
◉ 24 shots
◉ 21 chances created
◉ 45.5% duel success

Last season, Dybala contributed with 12 goals and 6 assists in Serie A. He also struggled with injuries last season, limiting his participation to only 25 matches. There is hope that the Argentine can stay injury-free now, and if he does, he is likely to surpass his statistics from the previous season.

Important match in the Bundesliga, where both Dortmund and Leipzig ideally need 3 points to keep pace with the top teams. Leipzig is currently in 4th place with 26 points, and Dortmund is in 5th place with 35 points, so there is a gap to the top team from Leverkusen, which has 35 points as well.

Dortmund enters the match with a defeat to Stuttgart in the DFB-Pokal, leaving them with only the league and the Champions League to focus on. Both Leipzig and Dortmund have been inconsistent in terms of results, which is why neither team is currently at the top of the Bundesliga standings.

Last five meetings between Dortmund vs. Leipzig:
2-0: Leipzig vs. Dortmund
2-1: Dortmund vs. Leipzig
3-0: Leipzig vs. Dortmund
1-4: Dortmund vs. Leipzig
2-1: Leipzig vs. Dortmund

Team news:
Dortmund is under pressure on the injury front, and after the match against Stuttgart, Marius Wolf, Marcel Sabitzer, Youssoufa Moukoko, and Julian Ryerson all picked up minor injuries, casting doubt on their availability for today's match. Additionally, Sebastien Haller, Felix Nmecha, and Julien Duranville are already unavailable. Niklas Sule and attacker Giovanni Reyna were ill during the week, but they are back on the training pitch and ready for the match.

Dani Olmo, Will Orban, and El Chadaille Bitshiabu are still unavailable for RB Leipzig. Timo Werner is doubtful and will undergo a test on match day before being cleared. Benjamin Henrichs also dealt with illness during the week, but he has recovered and is expected to be included in the starting lineup.

Dortmund expected lineup:
Kobel; Sule, Hummels, Schlotterbeck, Bensebaini; Can, Ozcan; Adeyemi, Reus, Malen; Fullkrug.

Leipzig expected lineup:
Blaswich; Henrichs, Simakan, Lukeba, Raum; Haidara, Schlager; Kampl, Simons; Poulsen, Openda.

Prediction:
A completely even match between two teams where the offensive quality is a key aspect. Leipzig has traditionally had good control over Dortmund based on previous results, so in our view, Leipzig is a slight favorite in the match. However, we believe there will be goals in the game and therefore suggest over 3.5 goals at odds of 2.10 with Betway.

Declan Rice was already a notable figure in the Premier League when he played for West Ham before making a move to Arsenal this summer. However, he has further developed under Arteta and is now among the best in the Premier League, perhaps even among the top defensive midfielders in Europe. In the latest match against Luton, he secured the team 3 points with a stoppage-time goal, ensuring the victory and maintaining their top position.

Declan Rice stats in Premier League:
◉ 15 games
◉ 3 goals
◉ 1 assist
◉ 91.5% pass success
◉ 49.6% duel success
◉ 11 chances created
◉ 29 tackles

Rice has a knack for scoring goals when the club truly needs it. The goal against Luton marks the second time this season that an overtime goal has secured 3 points, with Rice having previously done the same against Manchester United.

Declan Rice's dream has come true at Arsenal. He joined the Gunners to contend for the title and play in the Champions League, and this season, the team is at the top of the league and has progressed in the Champions League. Rice has become the midfield general, often partnering with Odegaard and Havertz, who are more attack minded, so he is the man responsible for maintaining the team's structure and ensuring defensive solidity.

Rice may have come with a hefty price tag, but it's fair to say he has been worth every penny, making him a justifiable choice for the summer's signing.

Sporting CP currently tops the Portuguese Primeira Liga, and one of the bright spots is the Swedish forward Viktor Gyökeres. The 25-year-old Gyökeres moved this summer from English club Coventry in a record deal €24m after a strong season in the Championship, where he scored 21 goals and provided 11 assists. He has carried these impressive statistics to Portugal, where he is the top scorer for Sporting.

Viktor Gyökeres stats in Primeira Liga 2023/24:
◉ 11 games
◉ 9 goals
◉ 4 assists
◉ 36 shots
◉ 16 chances created

The Swedish player has not only delivered impressive stats in the league but has also been on target several times in both the Europa League and the national cup.

Viktor Gyökeres stats in all competitions 2023/24:
◉ 17 games
◉ 15 goals
◉ 6 assists

The impressive performances have generated interest from other clubs, especially Premier League teams who have taken notice of the Swedish striker. Fulham and Newcastle are reported to have had scouts at Sporting's matches, and now Arsenal is also said to be interested if their potential deal for Ivan Toney falls through. Gyökeres has only been with the club since the summer, so a significant sum would be required for Sporting to consider a sale.

Juventus can, with a win over Napoli tonight, take the top spot from Inter Milan and put extra pressure on them before their Saturday match against Udinese. There are two points between Inter and Juventus, so the motivation to lead the league for the first time in several years must be significant throughout the club. On the other hand, Napoli is in a minor gameplay crisis, having recently been exposed at home against Inter, losing 3-0. They have only one victory in their last 5 matches in all competitions and are currently placed 5th in the league with 24 points.

Last five games between Juventus vs. Napoli:
◉ 0-1: Juventus vs. Napoli
◉ 5-1: Napoli vs. Juventus
◉ 1-1: Juventus vs. Napoli
◉ 2-1: Napoli vs. Juventus
◉ 2-1: Juventus vs. Napoli

Napoli has not lost to Juventus in the last 4 matches, but in terms of form, Juventus must be considered favorites in tonight's game. Juventus is undefeated in 9 matches, and we must go back to September 23rd to find their last defeat against Sassuolo.

Team news:
Mattia De Sciglio and Timothy Weah are the only injuries Juventus must deal with. Danilo returned against Monza, but it is doubtful whether he is ready for a starting position yet. Hans Nicolussi Caviglia has secured a starting spot in midfield, meaning Locatelli will again have to take a seat on the bench. Nicolo Fagioli is out due to suspension.

Mathias Olivera, Mario Rui, and Alessandro Zanoli are all out with injuries, causing significant issues at the left-back position. Giovanni Di Lorenzo is doubtful after sustaining a minor injury during training. However, there is good news as Victor Osimhen is back in the starting lineup again after returning in the last match against Inter.

Juventus expected lineup:
Szczesny; Gatti, Bremer, Rugani; Cambiaso, McKennie, Nicolussi Caviglia, Rabiot, Kostic; Chiesa, Vlahovic.

Napoli expected lineup:
Meret; Rrahmani, Ostigard, Natan; Politano, Zambo Anguissa, Lobotka, Zielinski; Raspadori, Osimhen, Kvaratskhelia.

Prediction:
Juventus is in good form, and with the opportunity to temporarily take the top spot, it will be a highly motivated team taking the field. Napoli looked like a team without ideas in the last match against Inter Milan, so odds of 2.40 for a Juventus win are worth trying.

Juventus to win the game at odds 2.40 at Betway.
