Michael Owen isn’t confident that Jose Mourinho’s Tottenham will collect all three points in their Premier League game against Newcastle United this weekend.
The former Premier League striker has watched both teams and their starts to the Premier League season and he has backed Tottenham to only earn a 1-1 draw at home to the Magpies.
Reviewing the game, he claimed that despite Tottenham’s three-game winning run ahead of this match, he doesn’t think that Mourinho’s team is quite there yet and he backs Newcastle manager, Steve Bruce to set his team up to get a draw from this game.
“There seems to be a slightly more positive vibe about Tottenham in recent times and the loan signing of Gareth Bale will have really lifted the spirits and hopes of the Spurs fans,” Owen said as quoted by the Mirror.
“Newcastle have had a topsy-turvy start to the season with a really promising win in their first match followed by a disappointing defeat in their second.
“This can often happen with new players coming in and adapting to new systems and styles of play but Steve Bruce is old enough and experienced enough to deal with that.
“Despite their 5-2 Premier League win against Southampton last time out, I’m still to be convinced by Jose Mourinho’s Tottenham and I’m going for a 1-1 draw in this one.”
Spurs made a losing start to the Premier League campaign after they were beaten 1-0 at home by Everton, but they won their next league game in an emphatic 5-2 scoreline, away at Southampton.
They have also beaten Lokomotiv Plovdiv and Shkendija in the Europa League since that first loss of the season.
