West Ham vs. Newcastle Preview (What To Know Before Betting)

West Ham vs. Newcastle

After both teams secured victories in their midweek European matches, although the visiting side’s triumph was notably more remarkable, West Ham United and Newcastle United are now shifting their focus back to the Premier League for a Sunday clash at the London Stadium.

David Moyes’s squad achieved their second consecutive win in the Europa League, defeating Freiburg 2-1. Meanwhile, Newcastle dismantled the French champions, Paris Saint-Germain, with a convincing 4-1 victory in the Champions League.

With a streak of three consecutive wins across various competitions in the past few weeks, West Ham maintains its impressive early-season form. The holders of the Europa Conference League title demonstrated their dominance in aerial play as they defeated Freiburg in a compelling manner on Thursday.

Amidst a thunderous close-range strike by Roland Sallai, Lucas Paqueta and Nayef Aguerd both utilized their heading skills to secure a narrow victory for West Ham at the Europa-Park Stadion. This triumph maintains David Moyes’s squad’s unblemished record in continental competition following their initial triumph against Backa Topola.

What to remember – West Ham vs. Newcastle

Even with uncertainties surrounding Antonio’s fitness, West Ham’s ability to find the net consistently at the London Stadium is likely to persist this coming Sunday. Nevertheless, any happiness that the Hammers might derive from this is expected to be brief.

Eddie Howe’s side will have the advantage of an extra day to recuperate from their recent European challenges, while West Ham’s extended return journey from Germany could hinder their preparations for Newcastle’s arrival. Consequently, the Magpies appear poised to extend their winning streak to five games in the English capital.
