West Ham vs Newcastle Prediction & Betting tips
West Ham United and Newcastle United have not been in good shape in recent weeks. Both teams meet each other on Saturday-afternoon at London Stadium and can use a good result again. Does West Ham United manage to keep the points in-house or does Newcastle United book the second win of the season?
West Ham United:
For five consecutive years, Manuel Pellegrini has not been able to take full advantage of West Ham United and that is a bad thing. Certainly because the Chilean coach at West Ham United has a great team and The Hammers must be able to compete for the coveted seventh place. West Ham United is currently in tenth position in the Premier League. Manchester United, which is in seventh place, has as many points as West Ham United and also a better goal difference than The Hammers. So there is certainly no man overboard at the East London West Ham United.
So the only problem is that West Ham United has had few victories lately. For the last three points of West Ham United we have to go back more than a month in time when Manchester United was defeated 2-0 at the London Stadium. Then West Ham United in the Carabao Cup lost 4-0 to Oxford United and suffered damage in the Premier League against AFC Bournemouth (2-2), Crystal Palace (1-2), Everton (2-0) and Sheffield United (1-1). The Hammers are longing for victory again.
Newcastle United:
Newcastle United is only just above the relegation line and The Magpies will continue to fight relegation during the rest of the season. Steve Bruce does not have a great team and if things go wrong, Newcastle United can also simply relegate to the Championship, although its own St. James’ Park is a huge weapon for The Magpies. Newcastle has one point less than Southampton, which is the first team under the red line.
This season, the Bruce team plays five away games in the Premier League, with Newcastle United taking only three points. The 0-1 win at Tottenham Hotspur was a nice one from Newcastle Uinted, but with such a win you don’t make much progress if you lose the other away games. Newcastle United has already been unbeaten in the Premier League at its own St. James’ Park for four games, as The Magpies played 1-1 against Wolverhampton last weekend. Sean Longstaff was given a red card against Wolverhampon in the final phase and that means that this weekend, Seans brother Matthew and Isaac Hayden form the heart of Newcastle United midfield.
