Newcastle United and West Ham will close Saturday’s action of the Premier League 22nd round. The hosts want to stay in the top-four zone, while the visitors hope to escape from the danger zone.
Newcastle United Preview & Team News
Newcastle United, buoyed by their previous result, will be hoping for more of the same after the 2-1 EFL Cup triumph against Southampton. The Magpies are among the biggest overachievers, sitting in the 3rd spot. A run of 15 games without tasting a defeat in the English top flight helped them a lot in that mission. Their latest results highlight that it has been a great time for the Newcastle United defense. Newcastle United have been miserly, with the tally of goals that have flown into the back of their net during their previous six clashes standing at three. Heading into this contest, Newcastle United is unbeaten in its last 11 league matches at home. Visiting teams have certainly not had an easy time of it here, and the home fans hope that streak will continue.
West Ham Preview & Team News
West Ham United will go into this match after a 2-0 FA Cup win to beat Derby County in their most recent game. However, the Hammers are struggling in the Premier League. They are just a point ahead of the red zone, but they managed to break the winless streak. For five of the past six clashes involving West Ham United, a comparatively low number of goals have been struck between them and opposing sides. The average number of goals per game during that period comes out as just 2, with the number of goals averaged by The Hammers being 1.17. Going into this contest, West Ham United hasn’t won away from home in the past eight matches in the league. Who knows how long it might last, too.
Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction
West Ham is a quality team but among the biggest underachievers this season. Newcastle United is full of confidence, and we believe the points will stay at St. AJmes’ Park on Saturday evening.
Goals Market Prediction
Their head-to-head clashes have been quite exciting recently, and both teams scored in five of the previous six encounters. Therefore, we don’t think either team will keep a clean sheet in this match.
