Newcastle Utd take on the visitors West Ham at “St James' Park” in the gameweek three of the English Premier League. The match will be played in Newcastle upon Tyne on Saturday, August 26th.
After their return to the Premier League, Newcastle Utd are still unable to pick up their first points. Rafael Benítez’s side has lost the starting clashes with not a single goal scored in them: 0:2 to Tottenham and 0:1 to Huddersfield. “The Magpies” have strong squad and it was only because of tough opponents in the opening rounds which were quite unsuitable for them, therefore, earning points by Newcastle Utd is only a matter of time.

Despite the new signings made this summer, West Ham also failed to gain points in the starting gameweeks. “The Baggies”’ weak point is their defense as there were seven goals conceded in two clashes: 0:4 vs. Manchester United and 2:3 vs. Southampton. Of course it should be noted that both matches were played on the road just like the upcoming fight. However, West Ham had great problems in regards to the battles at away turfs last season as well which means that despite the summer enforcement Slaven Bilic’s team has the same problems as it did last season: disability to show solid performance in defense at away grounds.
Newcastle Utd have lost only once in 13 head-to-heads against West Ham played in the 21st century. Taking into consideration “The Hammers” start of the season, “The Magpies” have great opportunity to improve their results in the head-to-heads and take their first points in the new season.
Prediction for the match: Newcastle Utd to win with 0.0 Asian handicap.
