West Ham can create a big sensation if it holds out in the top four of the Premier League standings. So far, the Hammers are in fourth place, but the density is very high. In the last round, David Moyes's charges were able to defeat their direct opponent Leicester (3-2). And before that, there was a victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers with the same score. Of course, the main hero of the team is Jesse Lingard, whom the Hammers have loaned from Manchester United. The footballer played only nine games for the Hammers but scored eight goals and made three assists. We may say that the player restarted his career. Now he is again awaited in the national team, and big clubs are interested in his talents.
In the first head-to-head meeting of this season, Newcastle managed to win with a score of 0-2. Then the Irish midfielder Jeff Hendry became the man of the match. The footballer made an assist and then scored a goal. The chances of the Hammers to succeed in the upcoming match are estimated higher, as West Ham claims to get into the Champions League. Newcastle also needs to score points to feel safe. The game will definitely be difficult for both teams, but we propose to bet on the exchange of goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score - yes
