Newcastle Vs West Ham Prediction: Betting Tips & Odds

As the Premier League relegation battle enters the final two rounds, here are our Newcastle vs West Ham betting tips, predictions and odds ahead of Sunday's massive clash at St. James' Park.

Sunday sees another monumental fixture in the Premier League survival race.

It's very close to the last chance saloon for West Ham. The Irons sit 18th in the table, two points below Tottenham with two games to play.

Spurs travel to Chelsea on Tuesday, a game they will be expected to lose. West Ham therefore, have a golden opportunity to climb back above their relegation rivals ahead of the final weekend.

Newcastle's recent form had been terrible, but a 3-1 win against Brighton and a 1-1 draw at Nottingham Forest ended a five-game losing streak in all competitions.

St. James' Park is never an easy place to visit, but with West Ham knowing it is likely win-or-bust, they will be throwing everything they possibly can at their opponents to get a result.

Earlier in the season, it was West Ham that took the spoils, winning 3-1 at the London Stadium in November.

Newcastle vs West Ham Prediction

As for this weekend's game on Tyneside, Newcastle United are slight favourites with most UK betting sites. The Magpies are currently priced at around 2.20, while West Ham United can be backed at 2.90.

While Newcastle's last two games ended a dreadful run, West Ham's previous two results were defeats to Brentford and Arsenal, having won two and drawn one of their three beforehand.

Neither side enters this weekend in particularly convincing form, but it's West Ham that have everything to play for.

Nuno Espirito Santo's team have their back against the wall, with Premier League survival on the line.

Eddie Howe's Newcastle, on the other hand, are already on the beach thanks to their guaranteed mid-table finish.

Although disappointing to have missed out on Europe, the Magpies are under no threat from below.

We could therefore see some complacency being a factor. West Ham will battle for everything, because they have to.

As a result, we foresee the Irons snatching a vital victory that could keep them in the Premier League.

Prediction: Newcastle United 1-2 West Ham

Newcastle vs West Ham Betting Tips

Below are our top three Newcastle vs West Ham betting tips ahead of Sunday's Premier League gameweek 37 clash at St. James' Park.

West Ham & YES - Result/Both Teams To Score - 4.33

First up, we foresee both teams getting on the scoresheet, with West Ham just about having enough for the win.

Plenty of the more recent games between these two have been high-scoring, with November's 3-1, a 4-3 Newcastle win and a 2-2 draw in 2023/24.

With West Ham desperate and Newcastle having nothing to play for, we reckon it'll be the Irons who take three huge points.

Jarrod Bowen Last Goalscorer - 8.00

It's written in the stars, isn't it? We are backing West Ham hero Jarrod Bowen to grab the final goal and steal it for his side.

The England winger has been a huge servant to the club, rescuing them time and time again in big moments and scoring some huge goals.

It would be poetic for him to get the winner on Sunday, and with odds of 8.00, it's a one for the profit-focused as much as the romantic.

Joelinton To Receive A Yellow Card - 3.50

And finally, Newcastle midfielder Joelinton feels like an almost automatic pick for a player to be booked.

The Brazilian has been booked 16 times in 42 games across the season, comfortably the most of any Magpies player.

Backing him to pick up another yellow may seem obvious, but he has consistently done so this campaign.
