West Ham vs Newcastle Premier League Prediction Match Details
The Premier League matchday 28 draws its final curtain on Monday night as West Ham will welcome Newcastle to the London Stadium. Can the Irons continue their high-flying form?
West Ham Preview & Form
West Ham will come into this game in high-flying form under Graham Potter following back-to-back wins in the Premier League without conceding a goal, with the result snapping a four-game winless run. They started their impressive winning streak by beating title-chasing Arsenal at Emirates Stadium and then followed it up with another outclassing 2-0 performance against relegation-struggling Leicester City at the London Stadium thanks to a Jannik Vestergaard own goal as well as a strike from Tomas Soucek. The impressive winning streak moved the East Londoners to 15th in the league standings with 33 points from 27 games, 16 points above the drop zone.
The Hammers have struggled with form on their home soil, losing three of their last five matches at London Stadium, but they will be hoping to build on their 2-0 victory over Leicester City. Their defense has looked vulnerable, having conceded at least one goal in 12 of their 14 home matches.
Newcastle Preview & Form
Newcastle United continues to show inconsistency with league form in their race to secure a European place. The Magpies come into this game on the back of two consecutive defeats across all competitions, as Eddie Howe’s side was beaten 2-0 the last time out in the Premier League by title-chasing Liverpool. They then followed it up with a 2-1 knockout in the FA Cup fifth round against Brighton at home. The Magpies will now be hoping to boost their chances of returning to Champions League football next season. Currently, they sit sixth in the Premier League standings with 44 points, three points behind the top four.
Eddie Howe’s side has now suffered consecutive away league defeats in the last two games, during which they conceded six goals without responding. They have scored in 11 of their 14 away matches while conceding two goals or more in each of their last four matches.
