West Ham United - Newcastle United predictions

Though West Ham United definitely have a shot at winning this match, they’ll need to work for it. Newcastle United are somewhat stronger, but the home-field advantage may be what the hosts need to shift the balance in their favour.

A difficult match is ahead of The Magpies. They have a big fish to fry but we’ve seen them do it in the past and it’s certain they can do it again.

The Hammers pushed the home advantage hard in their previous outing against Leicester City , securing a decisive 2:0 victory. While the home win was somewhat predictable, they’ve shown more than able to keep up the pace from start to finish.

The Magpies were priced 6.56 odds to win their previous Premier League away game, and also had to contend with playing as the away team. Quite predictably, they fell behind in the early game and eventually lost the showdown 2:0.

The away team’s defensive record is slipping. They’ve conceded more than 5 times in their previous 3 Premier League engagements. This, at least, points to this match as a decent choice for something like an Over 5 Goals bet.

Trailing the European places by 2 points, Newcastle will be highly motivated to step it up this late in the Premier League season. They travel to London Stadium for what’s likely to be a closely- contested match but a win there would do wonders for Newcastle’s confidence.

The 2.25 betting odds for an away win clearly paint The Magpies as the favourites, but West Ham have been known to beat the odds. The last time these two teams met, The Hammers won decisively despite playing in an away game.

With no players out due to injury or suspension, both teams will have their full lineups ready for a thrilling showdown.

Betting on a Draw is likely to be your best option, though it’s a relatively risky wager. It offers decent value with the 3.60 odds, though, which can be found at top online bookmakers such as William Hill.
