Tottenham take on the visitors Newport at “Wembley Stadium” in the 1/16 final match of the English FA Cup. The game will be played in London on Wednesday, February 7th.
Tottenham have significantly improved their play in recent years, showing good football. In the previous round of the FA Cup “The Spurs” knocked out Wimbledon. The club currently occupies the fifth place in the Premier League standings with 49 points taken after 26 clashes conducted. The side’s attack looks great with 51 scored goals while its defense has certain problems as it has conceded 24 goals so far. In the latest encounters hosted at “Wembley Stadium” “The Spurs” has beaten Manchester United 2:0, thrashed Everton 4:0 as well as Wimbledon 3:0.

In their turn, Newport have passed over Walsall, Cambridge Utd and Leeds on the previous stages of the FA Cup. The team is sitting now on the 11th position in the English League Two table with 46 points earned after 31 rounds behind. The club’s offense leaves favourable impressions, having scored 41 goals while its defense is doing not so well as it has conceded 38 goals already. In the recent fights played on the road Newport have been broken by Colchester 0:2 and Lincoln City 1:3, but managed to upset Grimsby Town 2:1.
The first-leg head-to-head was finished in 1:1 draw. Nevertheless, at this point I have no doubts that Tottenham won’t spoil the opportunity to receive a pass to the next round of the tournament as Newport’s level is much lower than the one of “The Spurs” and thus will suffer a defeat in the reverse fixture. However, I believe that the visitors will escape from the smashing failure.
Prediction for the match: Newport to win with +3.0 Asian handicap.
