The early game in the Premier League following the international break will take place at St. James’ Park on Saturday. Newcastle United will be looking to get their form back on track, while West Ham could move level on points with sixth-place Man United with a victory.
It has been an indifferent 2023-24 season for Newcastle United following the high of achieving Champions League qualification last term. They are in a race against time to secure a European berth this term, and they come into this round of matches after suffering defeats in each of their last two matches across all competitions.
The Magpies were dumped out of the FA Cup in their previous match after falling to a 2-0 away defeat against Manchester City. They were also beaten in their last Premier League match after suffering a 3-2 loss at Stamford Bridge against Chelsea. But, the Magpies have still been consistent in home matches this season after winning nine of their 14 matches.
This could be a good weekend for West Ham, as the visitors could move level on points with sixth-place Man United if they are able to claim maximum points on Saturday. The Hammers come into the round in excellent recent form after avoiding defeat in each of their last four matches.
However, they have played out draws in each of their last two. Their most recent dropped points came at home against Aston Villa before the international break. The Hammers will need to improve their away record if they are to finish in a European spot this term, as they have suffered six defeats on the road already this term.
Draws have been a common outcome when these sides have locked horns in the Premier League, with three of the last four ending level. That includes a 2-2 outcome in the first meeting this season. Newcastle have lost just once in the last four, but they are winless in their last two home matches against the Hammers.
These two sides are challenging to separate. However, it could be worth taking a chance on the Hammers landing maximum points to put pressure on the teams in the top six positions this weekend. A win to nil could be an interesting betting selection.
