Total Goals Prediction: Under 2.5 Goals
This is a difficult game to predict. Newcastle and West Ham have one of the toughest rivalries in the last few years and the majority of the games ended with a ton of goals – often more than 4 or even five. But Newcastle right now have the best defense in the Premier League and especially at home, they simply do not concede goals.
Match Result Prediction: Newcastle to Win
We do not see how this game could go in favor of West Ham even though the team has generally been winning games. But those wins were against struggling teams like Everton and Newcastle are one of the four strongest teams and their home ground is a fortress. Newcastle have not lost in 20 consecutive games at home while they also won the majority of them.
Correct Score Prediction: 2:0 to Newcastle
We see this as a 2:0 win for Newcastle. The team is significantly stronger in every aspect of the game but they are defnitely not a high scoring team at all. One goal would be insufficient but 2 seem like a very Newcastle-like result against West Ham.
Newcastle vs West Ham: Form, Recent Games, and News
Newcastle Preview
Everyone knew that Newcastle will grow into one of the best teams within a few seasons but nobody expected them to be this good this soon. The team has just a single defeat in 20 games to date and the best defence in the entire league. They almost never concede goals. They were on a streak of seven wins in a row in the Premier League before the last few rounds, as well as 17 games unbeaten overall in all tournaments.
They have been removed from the Premier League over the last couple of weeks thanks to their success in the EFL Cup. They earned a place in the EFL Cup final and have the also impressive Manchester United to look forward to. They have kept four clean sheets in their last five outings, adding to their goal difference in the process. While they occupy third place, it is far from guaranteed with Manchester United on equal points and Tottenham trailing three points behind.
West Ham Preview
West Ham had a terrible start this campaign and are still far from their usual position near the top of the table. The question was whether they had improved in the month without football due to the World Cup or not. It took a while and a new series of bad results before West Ham showed some spirit and won three out of their last four games. However, those were against weak opposition and we do not think that they are ready for teams like Newcastle.
Newcastle are in the envious position West Ham have been in the last couple of season. David Moye's side has been threatening to dismantle the established hierarchies in English top-flight football and the Toons seem to have broken the mould. Hammers on the other hand are struggling to give a decent account of their abilities. After failing to register victories, they have used their cup form to back themselves to victories and will be confident in troubled Newcastlein this meeting.
