Newcastle United - West Ham United betting tips and odds

Newcastle United managing to pull off a victory here would be quite the upset. They are definitely underdogs, so even the home-field advantage isn’t able to push the odds lower than 4.00 for a home win.

Most bookies see West Ham United as the favourites in this matchup, though it’s important to know things can go either way. Their victory is currently priced at 2.09, indicating that the hosts have a fighting chance.

The top online sportsbooks agreed that the last round was a very difficult match-up for The Magpies. All hope seemed lost during half time against Burnley , yet somehow they managed to turn things around and end the game with an astonishing 1:2away win.

The Hammers are coming off from an unexpected 3:2 victory against Leicester City. At odds of 3.30, not even the most optimistic of their fans expected a win – yet they pulled one off anyway after taking the lead in the first half.

The hosts will be looking to cut down on the number of goals they concede. They’ve recorded more than 5 total concessions over the last 3 matches, which is usually a cause for concern.

Results and standings notwithstanding, West Ham have run into some defensive issues in this stretch of the Premier League. In the past 3 matches, they allowed more than 5 goals to their opponents, which may be cause for concern for their supporters.

The Hammers are in fairly strong form this season and will be on their way to the Champions League qualification if they keep up the current pace. They do have a shot at the title, mind you, but time is running out to earn the 19 points needed.

Both teams will have to play with an above-average number of injures. Fabian Schär, Jamaal Lascelles, Isaac Hayden, Jamal Lewis, Ryan Fraser are unavailable for the hosts. Conversely, Darren Randolph, Michail Antonio, Declan Rice, Andriy Yarmolenko will not be able to play on the visiting side. The odds still favour West Ham, though.

Our advice is to stay on the safe side and go for the Over 2.5 Goals market. It’s reliable, very probable, and available at odds of 2.05 if you use the 10Bet sportsbook.
