West Ham vs. Newcastle: Betting Insights, Preview, and Predictions

West Ham host Newcastle in a crucial Premier League clash, aiming to climb from 15th place after a confidence-boosting win over Leicester.

West Ham United is all set to host Newcastle United in match week 28 of the Premier League 2024-25 season. The Hammers have had some rough games and are sitting in 15th place on the points table. Meanwhile, the Magpies have been playing well and are in sixth place.

Playing at home should give West Ham a bit of an edge. They also snagged an easy win over Leicester City in their last match. A win here could help the Hammers climb a couple of spots on the table, but facing the Magpies won’t be a walk in the park, even at home.

Newcastle United lost their last game against league leaders Liverpool and got knocked out of the FA Cup after a close match with Brighton. The visitors might be feeling a bit nervous, but they still have a shot at the top four in the league.

Players to Watch

Jarrod Bowen (West Ham): With 11 goal contributions in 23 league games, Bowen will need to step up as West Ham push for a crucial win. His attacking threat could be key to unlocking Newcastle’s defense.

Alexander Isak (Newcastle United): One of the league’s most in-form strikers, Isak has 19 goals and five assists in 24 matches. The Swedish forward will be central to Newcastle’s hopes of securing three points.

Injury and Team News

Lucas Paqueta, Niclas Fullhrug and three more players will not be in action for the Hammers due to their injuries.

The Magpies will be without the services of Lewis Hall, Sven Botman and a couple of other players as they are injured. Anthony Gordon is suspended and will not be available. Kieran Trippier is also a doubt for the match.
