West Ham United v Newcastle United matched betting tips for the Premier League match at The London Stadium on Saturday 23rd December.  Read the match preview and predictions for West Ham United v Newcastle United matched betting tips.

This is a crucial match towards the bottom of the Premier League. Due to a recent run of good form under new manager David Moyes, West Ham have moved out of the relegation zone and are now  sitting in 15th position. Newcastle on the other hand are going the other way, dropping into the relegation zone after losing 8 of their last 9 Premier League matches. Rafa Benitez will be desperate for that terrible run to end on Saturday.

West Ham United v Newcastle United Predictions

West Ham are on a three-match unbeaten run in the Premier League, which includes two wins. Fans were far from convinced when David Moyes was appointed but they have claimed three league clean sheets in a row. A much changed Hammers side lost 1-0 in the Carabao Cup at Arsenal in midweek but that won’t have dented confidence too much.

Newcastle lost 1-0 at Arsenal on Saturday and are in the worst run of form out of any side in the whole league. The Magpies have failed to win in nine games and they now sit in the bottom three. They have lost four of their last five league matches away from home and they famously have a poor record in London.

West Ham are favourites for this and the tip is for The Hammers to claim a low scoring victory. Under 2.5 Goals and Correct Score 1-0 look like good value.
