Magpies to edge close contest
Tenth meets seventh in the Premier League’s lunchtime kick-off on Saturday but Newcastle can close to within a point of West Ham with a victory.
Eddie Howe’s side have a good overall home league record – nine wins, two draws and three defeats – but the last six of those games have yielded a mixed bag of two wins, two draws and two defeats.
However, West Ham’s away form tilts the balance back towards the Magpies. David Moyes’s side have lost on six of their previous nine road trips in all competitions, failing to score in five of those.
The sides could not be separated when they met at the London Stadium in October, a late equaliser from Mohammed Kudus salvaging a 2-2 draw for the Hammers.
With 65 per cent possession and an expected goals metric of 1.93 that day, Newcastle may have felt that was two points dropped, but we expect them to make up for that with a victory here.
Newcastle vs West Ham tip 1: Newcastle to win to nil @ 17/10 with Paddy Power
Low-scoring affair on the cards
Given their current form, both sides may view this as a match they can’t afford to lose rather than one they must win.
A victory for Newcastle puts them right back in contention to clinch a European place, whereas an away win would deal the Magpies’ hopes a blow.
Two of the previous four meetings between the sides have produced under 2.5 goals, while the same bet would have landed in two of West Ham’s previous three away matches in all competitions.
Newcastle vs West Ham tip 2: Under 2.5 goals @ 31/20 with Paddy Power
In-form Gordon worth a shot
Fresh from impressing during the international break, Newcastle’s Anthony Gordon will be full of confidence going into this fixture.
The Englishman has scored in each of his previous two home appearances and looks a good option to start our bet builder with another goal at the weekend.
Only Lucas Paqueta has given away more fouls than Tomas Soucek for West Ham this season and, in what could be a pivotal midfield battle, the Czech is worth including to mistime a couple of tackles.
Our bet builder is completed by another midfielder in Bruno Guimaraes, who has been adept at drawing fouls for Newcastle this season. His tally of 82 is 30 more than any of his team-mates and we can see him adding at least a couple more this weekend.
Newcastle vs West Ham tip 3: Bet builder: Anthony Gordon any-time goalscorer, Tomas Soucek to commit two or more fouls and Bruno Guimaraes to be fouled two or more times @ 6/1 with Paddy Power
