Newcastle United - West Ham United betting tips and odds

We don’t expect Newcastle United to have any issues beating West Ham United. The hosts are largely favoured by all the top bookmakers online and 1.64 might actually be a good-value bet to consider. The visitors are not to be underestimated but on this particular instance the home side are seen as clear winners.

It’s hard to believe even the most optimistic The Hammers fans are expecting them to triumph at Newcastle this Saturday. It’s a completely one-sided matchup, and the hosts should have no problems steamrolling their opponents.

Best betting sites had backed The Magpies to emerge victorious from their trip to Crystal Palace with 1.98 but a few people expected the 0:0 result. The Magpies failed to live up to expectations and simply could not break through.

West Ham are here on the back of a noted triumph against Everton. They maintained an impressive lead throughout the match, which lead to a comfortable 2:0 home victory.

With zero concessions over their previous three Premier League matches, Newcastle’s defence has a lot of reasons to feel confident. Likelwise, top bookmakers online are offering great odds on $Home winning to Nil.

Looking over the visitors’ record in away games, it seems they don’t do well when they’re out of the comfort of their home field. They’ve recorded a worrying number of conceded goals in their previous 3 away games – more than 5, to be more precise.

Newcastle are currently 11 point behind the table leaders. There’s still plenty of time, however, and they seem poised to take another three points this Saturday. The Champions League dream seems like a reality at this point but with 11 point behind the leaders, a league title is still within their grasp.

West Ham displayed relatively shaky form in the 22 games they’ve appeared in so far. They’re dangerously close to the bottom of the table, placing at number 16th in the standings. Such placement makes the difficult matchup in St. James' Park even more concerning for their supporters.

In the previous season of Premier League, we saw Newcastle lose to West Ham quite badly. However, this year, most bookmakers see them as the favourites of this matchup.

The hosts went through a slew of unfortunate injuries recently, rendering some of their players unavailable for the match this Saturday. Paul Dummett, Emil Krafth, Matt Targett will not be playing, though the team is still considered likely to win.

An Under 2.5 Goals bet combines the best of both worlds: it’s a fairly safe bet with a high probability of success, but it also offers decent betting value. You can place it on the Betsson priced at 1.84 odds.
