Tottenham Hotspur vs Newport County Preview

Tottenham Hotspur host Newport County in Wednesday’s FA Cup 4th round replay at Wembley on Wednesday evening. Tottenham’s form away from home this season has been patchy and was made worse by their 1-1 draw in the initial tie against Newport County just over a week ago after fielding a relatively strong side. However, they will take positives away from their recent 2-2 thriller against Liverpool which saw them concede an early goal and then equalise late on in the game, only to see Mohamed Salah to put the home side ahead on 90 minutes. However, a 95th-minute penalty, converted by in-form striker Harry Kane, saved the visitors and secured a point against a Liverpool side who remain unbeaten this season in the league at Anfield.

Tottenham’s last home game was a 2-0 victory over Manchester United which continued their impressive home form which has only seen them suffer one league defeat this season which was to Chelsea in August. Mauricio Pochettino will hope to continue this form at Wembley and will expect nothing but victory against the League two side on Wednesday.

Newport County were 25/1 underdogs against Spurs in the tie at Rodney Parade and battled to force a replay after leading for the majority of the game. A 82-minute equaliser from Harry Kane was all that prevented them from causing one of the biggest upsets in the cup this season. However, the league two side will relish the chance to play at Wembley and will have almost 8,000 fans making the journey with them.  Their 1-1 draw was more than anyone expected from Newport in the first tie but their form has dipped since that game with The Exiles registering two defeats away from home against Lincoln City and Colchester leaving them sitting in 11th place in the league and two points off a play-off spot.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Newport County Prediction

Newport County fans will be looking forward to the trip to Wembley and the rematch will bring in a cash windfall for the club. We’ve seen bigger upsets happen in the history of the FA Cup, although this time it is expected that the in-form Premier League side will simply have too much for the visitors on their home turf of which they have performed so well on this season.

Both sides have things to focus on in the league with Tottenham needing every point they can grab to secure a Champions League place and Newport County just two points beneath the play-off zone. The quality of Tottenham should shine through on Wednesday and although we expect Newport to put up a fight, we can see Spurs finding the net at least twice which should be enough to see them progress to the final 16.
