Newcastle vs West Ham United Prediction

For this Premier League fixture we go with Under 2.5 goals for Newcastle vs West Ham United, at 80% confidence. In their last 5 matches, Newcastle's games produced 3.6 goals on average, 2 of them over 2.5. West Ham United's games averaged 2.6, with 3 of 5 over the line. Form on its own doesn't settle this one: 5 of the 10 recent games went under 2.5, which is worth keeping in mind before backing Under 2.5.

The head-to-head points the other way: only 2 of their last 5 meetings finished under 2.5 goals. Older meetings say less about how these teams play now, so recent form counts for more in our numbers. At 80%, most of the recent evidence lands on this side of the line, which makes it one of our stronger calls. Final score: 2-4. The pick lost.
