Newcastle vs West Ham: Match Preview And Prediction
Newcastle vs West Ham: Following the international break, the Premier League returns to play on Saturday afternoon at St. James’ Park with a match between Newcastle and West Ham. Before the tie, the two teams in the top half of the league table were separated by just four points.
Newcastle has played 14 home games in the Premier League with 9 victories, 2 draws, and 3 losses. In the past nine away games across all competitions, West Ham has suffered six losses. With 12 goals in the Premier League this season, Alexander Isak leads the Magpies in goal scoring.
Newcastle wants to end a run of two defeats. In their last two games, they lost 0-2 at Manchester City and 2-3 at Chelsea in various competitions. The Citizens were not really affected by Eddie Howe’s team at the FA Cup quarterfinal two weeks ago.
In their most recent appearances, West Ham made a stronger impression. In the UEFA Europa League last-16 round rematch against German Bundesliga team Freiburg, they initially displayed an incredible performance, winning 5-0. The 29th round of the Premier League saw another outstanding effort in a 1-1 draw with Aston Villa.
Newcastle vs West Ham: Betting Analysis
In their previous four meetings, Newcastle and West Ham have drawn three of their meetings. With 30 victories, 17 draws, and just 9 losses in their previous 56 encounters with West Ham at St. James’ Park, Newcastle has an excellent home record. In the six prior meetings between the two teams, both were on target.
Although West Ham comes into the game in superior form, Newcastle wins by a significant margin. The Magpies remain a formidable force at St. James’ Park even after an uneventful Premier League season overall. So far this season, they have played 14 league games in front of home crowds, winning 9, drawing 2, and losing 3.
In their encounters with the Hammers, they had a strong home record. When Newcastle defeated Wolves 3-0 at home at the beginning of the month, they also looked fantastic. Conversely, West Ham has dropped six of its past nine road games in all competitions. At 1.80 odds, you can bet on the home victory selection.
There are goals in this match. Newcastle has scored three goals or more in each of their past seven home games in all competitions. Throughout the previous ten away games in all competitions, West Ham had only one clean sheet.
Given these conditions, we find the 2.20 odds for the highest-scoring Magpie, Alexander Isak, to score at any moment on Saturday to be appealing. The Swedish striker has scored 12 goals thus far in the current Premier League season. He takes penalties, and because Callum Wilson is still out with an injury, he will start on Saturday.
