Betting on West Ham
West Ham is in a fierce battle to avoid relegation from the Premier League, and it will face a tough challenge on Wednesday in its quest for glory.
Despite playing at home, the Hammers will face Newcastle, a team fighting for a Champions League spot that comes off a big win against Manchester United.
West Ham’s season has been quite unusual. While struggling in the Premier League, currently holding 14th place with 27 points, just one point above Leeds in the relegation zone, its performance in the Europa Conference League has been impressive.
Under the leadership of David Moyes, the team won all 10 games played, scoring 25 goals and conceding only four. However, it has not been able to translate that success to the domestic competition.
In fact, since the return from the international break, West Ham has won only three out of 12 games in the league. The good news is that all three wins came at home, the same condition it will face this week against Newcastle.
Possible Lineup (4-3-3): Lukasz Fabianski; Thilo Kehrer, Kurt Zouma, Nayef Aguerd, Emerson; Declan Rice, Lucas Paqueta, Tomas Soucek; Jarrod Bowen, Saïd Benrahma, Danny Ings.
Betting on Newcastle United F.C.
Newcastle has found a second wind to face the final stretch of the season with a great victory over a direct and dangerous rival like Manchester United last weekend.
The multimillion-dollar investment made in the preseason seems to be paying off, as The Magpies moved up to third place in the standings with 50 points, the same amount as Tottenham and Manchester United, but with a better goal difference.
This advantage in the amount of goals scored and conceded is due to Eddie Howe’s team having the best defense in the championship, having only allowed 19 goals in 27 matches. In fact, the win against Manchester United marked the 13th time Newcastle has not conceded a goal in the tournament.
Therefore, traveling to London to face West Ham should not be too dangerous for Newcastle, considering its opponent’s recent struggles to score goals and the fact that the 10 goals it has conceded on the road is the second lowest figure in the Premier League.
Possible Lineup (4-3-3): Nick Pope; Kieran Trippier, Fabian Schär, Sven Botman, Dan Burn; Sean Longstaff, Bruno Guimarães, Joe Willock; Jacob Murphy, Alexander Isak, Allan Saint-Maximin.
JefeBet Prediction
Analyzing West Ham can be quite challenging due to its inconsistent performance this season. The team seems to be a different team in the Conference League than in the Premier League.
Therefore, its upcoming match against Newcastle looks like a tough test for the Hammers, even though they will be playing in front of their home crowd. Newcastle, on the other hand, is currently playing its best soccer of the season, and seems to have found the formula for closing matches, which had been a struggle for the team, having the second-most draws in the league with 11.
After going eight games without scoring more than one goal, the team has now scored two goals in three consecutive matches, registering six goals in that span. Besides, considering that its defense is facing one of the worst offenses in the league, things are looking good for Eddie Howe and his boys.
Prediction: Newcastle to win (WHA 0 – NEW 1).
