Predictions and Hope: Newcastle’s Race for European Football Heats Up

In a recent interview, podcaster Kris Wallace predicted that Newcastle will draw with Tottenham on Saturday but will still secure a position that will qualify them for European competition next season. Currently sitting in eighth place in the Premier League, Newcastle is 12 points behind fourth-placed Spurs and just two points behind sixth-placed Manchester United.

Wallace believes that a draw would be a positive outcome for his side, given their current injury woes. He anticipates a close match against Tottenham, acknowledging that they are a strong team that could secure a result. However, Wallace remains optimistic about Newcastle’s chances and believes that the race for European football will go down to the wire.

Podcasters Raul Kohli and Anth Young also shared their predictions. Kohli expects Newcastle to win 2-1, highlighting the team’s current form and Tottenham’s late-season struggles. He believes that Newcastle can secure a fifth-place finish with a strong run-in. On the other hand, Young predicts that Newcastle will finish in sixth place, emphasizing the importance of qualifying for any kind of European competition.

All three podcasters agree that securing European football is crucial for Newcastle, and they are all hopeful for a strong finish to the season. The full episode can be listened to on BBC Sounds.
