BET TIP: West Ham vs Newcastle
Hammers in Trouble
It’s been a nightmare start for West Ham under Nuno Espírito Santo. The London side haven’t won a single Premier League match since his arrival and the clock is ticking. After back-to-back losses to Arsenal, Brentford, and newly-promoted Leeds, the Irons are sinking fast, stuck in 19th place with just four points.
Last week’s 3-1 defeat at Elland Road showed everything that’s wrong with the team — poor defending, no confidence, and no real attacking spark. The numbers speak for themselves: 20 goals conceded in nine games, the worst record in the league. Another defeat on Sunday would make unwanted history the first time West Ham have ever lost eight of their opening ten league matches.
The pressure on Santo is enormous. The fans want answers, the team needs a miracle, and every mistake now feels fatal.
Magpies Flying High
Newcastle, meanwhile, are buzzing. Eddie Howe’s men have hit a strong run of form — five wins in their last six matches across all competitions — including a Champions League triumph and an EFL Cup win over Tottenham.
Their defense has been solid too — only eight goals conceded so far in the Premier League — showing just how well-organized and disciplined they’ve become. Still, there’s one weakness: they haven’t won away from home this season. That’s something Howe’s side will be desperate to change on Sunday in London.
Team News
West Ham’s injury list keeps growing. Young defender Oliver Scarles suffered a serious shoulder injury and joins Dinos Mavropanos, George Earthy, and Niclas Füllkrug on the sidelines. Former Newcastle striker Callum Wilson might start against his old club if Füllkrug doesn’t recover in time a storyline that could add some spice to an already tense fixture.
For Newcastle, Sven Botman should return after a minor head knock, while Lewis Hall could make the squad after recovering from a thigh issue. Tino Livramento and Yoane Wissa are still out, but Howe has plenty of depth to rotate and keep his squad fresh.
Prediction
It’s hard to see West Ham turning things around right now. Their defense is leaking goals, their attack looks toothless, and confidence is gone. Newcastle, full of energy and form, should take full advantage.
Prediction: West Ham 0–3 Newcastle
The Magpies to soar again and the pressure on Nuno to reach boiling point. The stage is set for drama in London where luck, grit, and pure belief will decide it all. BET NOW AT ARADA.BET
