There is plenty of optimism around for a Premier League revival at Newcastle United as they prepare to resume their campaign at home to Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday.
The betting in the wake of the takeover has been hugely in favour of the Magpies with a sudden burst of support for a top-half finish in the Premier League this season seeing odds of 16/1 before the international break sink into just 6/1 with BoyleSports.
An incredibly divided head-to-head record with Tottenham reveals not only 22 wins apiece in the Premier League era, but also an equal divide of 78 goals each across the 52 meetings, amounting to an average of three-per-game. More could be on the on the cards on Sunday with both teams scoring in each of the last three meetings between the pair and that’s an odds-on shot at 6/10 to land again.
The prospect of a fit-again Callum Wilson returning to the pitch has only boosted confidence amongst punters that the hosts can get back to winning ways and with only one defeat in five on home turf for Newcastle, a win in front of the Sky cameras on Sunday has been clipped slightly into 12/5 from 11/4 this week.
Supporters buoyed by recent developments at St. James’ Park also have the chance to cash in this weekend with a no-lose bet of up to £10 available for BoyleSports mobile customers on the Tottenham clash. That means losing bets will be refunded with a free bet up to the value of £10 and it will be no surprise if Wilson is a popular pick if he gets the green light.
It's four goals in four league appearances for the 29-year-old and he is a 9/2 shot to open the scoring, while anyone brave enough to back a hat-trick can snap up a mega 40/1.
