⚽ WEST HAM VS NEWCASTLE UNITED PREDICTION
🏆 FINAL RESULT – WHO WILL PREVAIL?
✅ West Ham Win
West Ham will be looking to do the double over Newcastle, having won the first fixture at St James’ Park 2-0 earlier in the season. They have also found some form, having won their last two league matches (against Arsenal 1-0 and Leicester 2-0).
The Magpies seem to have one eye on the League Cup Final this coming weekend, with their only win in their last four matches being a 4-3 success over Nottingham Forest. Even then, they almost squandered it, having been leading 4-1 at one point.
⚖️ Draw
There is no doubting the quality in the Newcastle side and their form has been erratic. It is not hard to see them coming to the London Stadium and securing a point.
💥 Newcastle United Win
With Alexander Isak in attack, the Magpies can always score a goal and West Ham’s defence has shipped 47 this season.
⚽ TOTAL GOALS OVER/UNDER
