Command Analysis

Newcastle United

Current form
Newcastle players went into the international break in a clearly upbeat mood, having put together their first three-game winning streak this season, and against tough opponents. First, they managed to beat Chelsea 2-0 at home in the League Cup. Then came two successful matches in the Premier League, against Arsenal at home (1-0) and Nottingham Forest away (3-1). The latest successes allowed Eddie Howe men to get closer to the European Cup zone. At the moment, the team is in ninth place in the table with 18 points. The gap from Tottenham, who are closing the top 6, is only one point, a victory today will allow them to rise straight to sixth place.
Alexander Isak is worth highlighting in the https://www.newcastleunited.com/en target=_blank rel=noopener>Newcastle squad. The Swedish striker had health problems, but now everything is behind him, in nine matches played he scored four goals. Plus, Harvey Barnes is in good shape, he also has four goals to his credit. However, today the main central defender Dan Burn will not be able to play due to an accumulation of yellow cards, which in any case will weaken the team.
Newcastle traditionally perform strongly at home. This season in the Premier League, the Magpies have collected 10 points at St James' Park and suffered only one defeat. At the same time, the Magpies' home matches are not distinguished by high scoring: they have scored five goals themselves and conceded only three.
Disqualifications and injuries
Krafth, Lascelles and Botman are all out with injuries. Burn is suspended. Trippier and Wilson are questionable.
Interesting trends for betting
- Newcastle have conceded the first goal in six of their last eight Premier League games
- Nine of the Magpies' previous 11 Premier League games have seen a maximum of three goals scored
- Three of Newcastle last five matches in all competitions have seen a 1-0 first-half score
Probable line-up: Pope - Livramento, Sher, Kelly, Hall - Longstaff, Guimaraes, Willock - Gordon, Isak, Joelinton.

West Ham United

Current form
West Ham have a modest 12 points after 11 rounds and are in 14th place. Obviously, this is far from the result the club was counting on when they invested a lot of money in transfers in the summer and invited Julen Lopetegui to the position of head coach. The Spanish specialist chair is seriously wobbly.
It cannot be said that the Londoners are in a serious decline, the team plays individual matches at a high level. We can recall confident victories over Ipswich (4:1) and Manchester United (2:1). At the same time, we see complete failures with Tottenham (1:4) and Nottingham Forest (0:3). In the last match before the international break, West Ham could not open the Everton defense (0:0), and we should also say thanks to goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski, who saved the team several times.
West Ham have not been particularly consistent in away games throughout the season. The Londoners have only picked up five points in five matches played away from home. At the same time, they have only left the field without scoring at least one goal once.
Disqualifications and injuries
Still in the Füllkrug infirmary, Kudus is serving a disqualification.
Interesting trends for betting
- West Ham have drawn first-half in three of their last four games
- The Hammers have gone winless in seven of their previous nine Premier League matches
- At least three goals have been scored in 12 of West Ham last 16 Premier League games
Probable line-up: Fabianski - Wan-Bissaka, Todibo, Kilman, Emerson - Rodriguez - Bowen, Soucek, Paqueta, Summerville - Antonio.

1.63Tip and bets
Taking into account the latest results , bookmakers give Newcastle a clear advantage in the upcoming meeting. It is hard to argue with this, but still, in terms of the level of the squad, West Ham is not inferior to the Magpies. Another thing is that the Londoners cannot fully reveal their potential. Perhaps the break for national team matches will knock the hosts off track a little. Still, according to the odds posted, we recommend betting on the underdog, especially since in the last six face-to-face confrontations, the Hammers have only lost once with a difference of more than one goal.
Our prediction is a West Ham win with an Asian handicap (+1) at odds of 2.12
Bet on total
Bookmakers are expecting a productive game today, although it is worth paying attention to the fact that Newcastle home matches rarely please with an abundance of goals scored. Since the beginning of the season, the Magpies have played five matches on their home field and in none of them were more than three goals scored. We believe that this series of "lows" will not be interrupted.
The second bet is total under 3.5 goals with odds of 1.68
Bet on corners
Let pay attention to the promising trend in corners. In nine of the ten previous personal meetings in Newcastle, West Ham did not lose by more than two corners to their opponent. Accordingly, we recommend another option for betting.
Prediction: West Ham win on corners with a handicap of (+2.5) with odds of 1.90
