West Ham United vs Newcastle United: Premier League Match
West Ham United face Newcastle United at the London Stadium on Monday and will be looking to keep the momentum going. The Hammers have won their last two Premierships and will be fancying a good result. Newcastle United has been inconsistent and lost four of their last six matches.
West Ham will be looking for their third win in a row, something they last achieved in December 2023. But Newcastle United has been the favorite.
The Magpies will be pressing for a European spot and can’t afford to drop more points. They are sixth in the Premierships table and will be looking to close the gap on the top four with a win. But Newcastle’s form has been shaky, and they also got knocked out of the FA Cup recently.
