West Ham vs Newcastle Betting Tips & Preview

Super Sunday kicks off at the London Stadium as struggling West Ham take on a resurgent Newcastle.

The Hammers are desperate to stop their slide. They have managed just one league win from nine games.

Newcastle, meanwhile, head south full of confidence. The Magpies have enjoyed an impressive run of results in all competitions.

Here, Sports News Blitz outlines the best bets and key stats ahead of the clash.

The tale so far

West Ham have endured a difficult start to the season.

Their only league win came under former manager Graham Potter. The Hammers defeated Nottingham Forest in that match.

However, Potter has since left the club. Former Forest boss Nuno Espírito Santo has taken charge.

Since his arrival, Nuno has earned just one point from four games. Therefore, he faces a major challenge to change the team’s fortunes.

With pressure mounting, a home win could be vital. It would also give the players and supporters a much-needed lift in east London.

Newcastle building momentum

Newcastle, by contrast, arrive in excellent form.

They have won four of their last five matches across all competitions. Furthermore, their recent results include important wins in Europe and domestically.

Their Premier League victories over Nottingham Forest and Fulham have helped build confidence.

Meanwhile, Champions League wins against Royal Union Saint-Gilloise and Benfica have added to their momentum.

A midweek Carabao Cup victory over Tottenham provided another boost. As a result, Newcastle travel to the capital with plenty of confidence.

Best bets

Newcastle to win

West Ham are struggling at the moment. Their 4/1 odds to win also underline the challenge they face.

On the other hand, Newcastle have won four of their last five matches across all competitions.

The Magpies also have a strong recent record at the London Stadium. Therefore, Newcastle to win is the standout selection.

Jacob Murphy to score or assist

Jacob Murphy is another player to consider.

This selection has landed in three of his last four starts this season. Therefore, his recent attacking contribution makes this an interesting option.

Bruno Guimarães to have over 0.5 shots on target 

Bruno Guimarães also offers an interesting player prop.

The Brazil international scored a late winner against Fulham last weekend. Moreover, he has tested the opposition goalkeeper in each of his last four appearances.

As a result, over 0.5 shots on target could be worth considering.
