Newcastle will be looking for their next win

After a difficult last season with some ups and downs, as well as the fear of relegation and finally the title in the Conference League, West Ham now want to play a little more stringent. After the start of the season it remains to be said: Yes, it can be done!

The West Ham vs. Newcastle prediction of the bookmakers shows that the Magpies go into the game as favourites. Newcastle’s squad is better balanced than West Ham’s, plus the form is in favour of the visitors.

But: West Ham should not be underestimated. The Moyes eleven has a lot of quality on the pitch. Therefore, our West Ham vs. Newcastle tip is also that both teams will come to score.

West Ham – Statistics & current form

In the new season, West Ham, albeit without Declan Rice, but with other smart additions, wanted to find back to old strength and consistency. And indeed, David Moyes has given the team a lot, rethinking his own strategy from last season a little and setting up the team more flexibly. During the week, they won against Freiburg in the Europa League and also before that there was a 2:0 victory in the league against Sheffield.

This means that West Ham have already won four games in the league and their best start to the season since 2015 is impressive overall. Two games were lost, these against Liverpool and Manchester City. You can also lose against these opponents. Newcastle almost belongs in this category, but West Ham also beat Brighton and Chelsea. So the home side are equipped and definitely have the possibility to surprise.

The difference to last season is that West Ham seem much more stable and solid and don’t let themselves get rattled by conceding goals. That is a good keyword, because in six of the seven games in the new season in the Premier League there was at least one goal conceded. But there has also been at least one goal of their own in every game.

West Ham: Not a good record against Newcastle

It has rarely looked good for West Ham against this opponent in recent years. Only one of the last eight games in the league the Hammers could win against the Magpies. Often not much was missing, but Newcastle kept the upper hand. The West Ham vs. Newcastle odds show that the bookmakers think such an outcome is likely this time as well, even if the favourites are not quite clear-cut.

West Ham’s self-confidence is definitely noticeable. 13 league goals are a good value so far, especially offensive player Bowen seems to benefit from the adjustments in the new season and already has five goals to his account. His qualities will also be in demand against Newcastle in order to get sufficient relief on the field.

Precisely because the home side are scoring consistently and are confident of themselves, our prediction before the West Ham v Newcastle game is that both teams will score in this match.

Predicted West Ham line-up:

Newcastle – Statistics & current form

Newcastle United are currently one place behind West Ham in the Premier League table, but have made a clear step forward in recent games. The Magpies have developed into a very good team under coach Eddie Howe, of course also thanks to some financial investments. Nevertheless, it is impressive how one gear meshes with the other.

During the week, Newcastle played PSG at home in the Champions League and showed all the virtues that make them so strong under Howe. The Magpies were aggressive, compact, quick in the head, disciplined against the ball. Coach Howe’s men defeated their opponents 4:1 and were deserved winners in the end. The upcoming opponents should also suit the team, as Newcastle only lost one of their eight games against West Ham.

It is also worth noting that ten different scorers have already scored for Newcastle. That is the absolute record in the Premier League this season. The fact that every player on the pitch can score gives the visitors a certain unpredictability. And that is important.

Newcastle hope to keep the streak going

The last few games have been absolutely impressive for Newcastle. There have been three wins and 11-0 goals from three league games. There have also been six games without defeat, five of which have been won. The Magpies played against Manchester City, Milan and PSG. Curious: In the league, there have already been three defeats, but no draw yet.

The chances of a positive result are not bad now either, the West Ham vs. Newcastle betting odds show that the visitors are slightly favoured. On a good day, Newcastle can call on their own quality and also win this tough away game.

Because the visitors are on such a run right now, our value tip before the West Ham vs Newcastle match is that the visitors will win the game.
