5th April 2023 – 20:45, London Stadium, London
West Ham will take on Newcastle United in the postponed match of the Premier League 7th round. The hosts seek a getaway from the danger zone, while the away side aims for the Champions League ticket.
West Ham Preview & Team News
West Ham has been playing in solid form lately. Four points from the last two rounds lifted them above the relegation zone. Nevertheless, the Hammers need to continue in the same fashion since they are only one point away from the bottom three spots. Sunday’s win over Southampton brought some fresh air to London Stadium, but a much tougher task is ahead of them on Wednesday. Over their past six fixtures, David Moyes’s West Ham United has scored a total of 9 times, with that being an average number of goals scored per match of 1.5. The West Ham United manager David Moyes has no fitness worries at all coming into this match thanks to a fully healthy group to pick from.
Newcastle United Preview & Team News
Newcastle United heads into the meeting following on from a 2-0 Premier League win vs Manchester United in their most recent game. It is a massive success for the Magpies since those three points returned them to the top-four zone. The numbers tell their own story, and Newcastle United has been scored against in 5 of their last six games, conceding eight goals overall. Defensively, Newcastle United has seen their frailties exposed. Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe has not got a full squad to pick from. Matty Longstaff (Knee Injury), Emil Krafth (Cruciate Ligament Rupture), and Miguel Almirón (Thigh Problems) are names that won’t be on the team sheet.
Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction
It is an important game for both teams, and three points from it would help them achieve their goals this season. Although the game could go either way, we think the visitors are a bit closer to a victory.
Goals Market Prediction
West Ham’s offense is one of the least efficient in the Premier League, while Newcastle United has conceded only 19 goals so far. Although neither team managed to keep a clean sheet in their last four h2h clashes, we don’t expect to see more than two goals in total on Wednesday evening.
