West Ham vs Newcastle United Prediction
In their previous meeting earlier this season, West Ham won 3-1 at home and both teams are a perfectly balanced 3-3-3 in their last 9 meetings. Over is 4-2 in their last 6 meetings.
In this West Ham vs Newcastle United Prediction, Newcastle United is coming as +105 home favorites. With only two games weeks left to play, only West Ham has incentive to play, as they currently sit in the third to last place and are within the relegation zone. Tottenham has two points more, so West Ham needs every win they can get and are facing a struggling Newcastle team that has lost five of its last seven games. West Ham has lost only once in its last four visits in Saint James’ Park and as the only team with something to play for today, I expect them to keep this one close. Take West Ham by +0.5 goals in this one.
