West Ham United FC vs Newcastle United Match Prediction & Analysis

In Round 10 of the Premier League 2025/26, West Ham host Newcastle United in what may not be the weekend’s headline act but remains a crucial clash nonetheless. The Hammers are desperate for a result to lift their spirits after a rough run, while Newcastle arrive buoyed by back-to-back wins across competitions and will fancy their chances of extending that momentum.

Current Standings: The Hammers remain stuck in the relegation zone with just 4 points to their name, while Newcastle sit comfortably mid-table in 12th on 12 points.

Head-to-Head Record: Both teams have played each other 54 times in the competition, with the Magpies coming on top 25 times to Hammers’ 15. 

TEAMS PREVIEW

West Ham United FC Preview

Nuno Espírito Santo finds himself under growing pressure at West Ham, having endured three straight defeats since taking charge. The latest setback came against Leeds, a game virtually decided within the opening 15 minutes as the Hammers shipped two early goals before Mateus Fernandes offered a mere consolation. 

With results spiralling and confidence fading fast, Nuno can only hope the club’s hierarchy shows more patience than his former employers at Forest — because right now, a turnaround feels a distant dream.

Stats that matter 

1. The Hammers have conceded nine goals from corners this season, the most by any side.
2. With just four points from nine games, this is West Ham’s joint-worst start to a league campaign—an ominous reflection of how deep their struggles run this season.
3. West Ham have conceded the most goals (20) by a team in the league this season. 

Team News 

The Londoners were without both Füllkrug and Mavropanos against Leeds, while young Ollie Scarles limped off early and is set to miss out again. Füllkrug remains doubtful, but there’s growing optimism that their towering Greek defender will be back to bolster the backline.

West Ham Probable XI - Hermansen (GK); Diouf, Maximilian Kilman, Mavropanos, Kyle Walker-Peters (Defenders); Irving, Soucek, Fernandes (Midfielders);  Summerville, Jarrod Bowen, Paqueta ( Forwards). 

Newcastle United Preview

The Magpies head into Sunday’s clash brimming with confidence, having hit a rich vein of form with three consecutive victories since their setback against Brighton earlier this month. Those wins include a commanding 3-0 over Benfica in the Champions League. 

A hard-fought 2-1 triumph against Fulham in the league, and a solid 2-0 victory over Tottenham in the Carabao Cup, which have lifted the mood around St. James’ Park. Yet there’s a catch: all those successes have come at home. Away from Tyneside, Newcastle have found it much harder to impose themselves. But that could change this Sunday. 

Stats that matter

1. Newcastle have won just one of their last eight Premier League away games at the London Stadium (W5 D2).
2. Newcastle are winless in their last seven away league matches ( D4 L3).
3. Seven of their last 13 Premier League goals have been scored in the final 15 minutes of the matches. 

Team News 

Newcastle have been without Lewis Hall, Valentino Livramento, and new signing Yoane Wissa for much of the season. The silver lining is that all three are nearing a return to action, though Sunday’s clash is likely to come just a bit too soon for them.

Newcastle United Probable XI - N Pope (GK); Trippier, Thiaw, Botman, Burn (Defenders) ; Joelington, Tonali, Bruno Guimaraes (Midfielders); Anthony Elanga, Nick Woltemade, Gordon (Forwards) 

WEST HAM UNITED FC vs NEWCASTLE UNITED
Winning Prediction

The Magpies enter this clash brimming with confidence after a fine winning run and an unbeaten streak of six games at the London Stadium. Add to that West Ham’s woeful form, and it’s hard to look past Newcastle as clear favourites to take all three points.

As far as the odds are concerned, it's not surprising that the bookmakers are in favour of the Magpies more than the Hammers in this contest. According to one such site, Newcastle is tipped to win the match, with odds of 1.67 to 5.30 with odds for a draw at 4.52.
