Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur meet less than a week after concluding their Premier League campaign as they travel to Australia to play a friendly at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Wednesday. Both teams have flattered to deceive and will be keen to win this game.
Tottenham Hotspur finished in fifth place in the Premier League standings and have been fairly impressive under Ange Postecoglou. The North London outfit eased past Sheffield United by a 3-0 scoreline over the weekend and will be confident ahead of this fixture.
Newcastle United, on the other hand, secured a seventh-placed finish in the league table last season and have not been at their best in recent months. The Magpies defeated Brentford by a 4-2 scoreline in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this week.
