Game Prediction

Our prediction for the match West Ham vs Newcastle United
The club from London let Rice go before the start of the previous cycle. Still, the team is still not bad – it played in the play-offs in the Europa League, and finished the Premier League in 9th place with 52 points. Newcastle’s return to the Champions League was really unsuccessful – the club was the last in the group. At the same time, it slid from 4th to 7th position in the English Premier League.
Maybe that was the reason why Howe didn’t really get new players in the summer. Nevertheless, his players improved the performance (on several fronts at once). The League Cup final is coming soon – to get there, the club beat Arsenal twice in the semi-finals. Speaking about the Premier League, the team, even having lost twice, is in 6th place, 2 points behind Chelsea and 3 points behind City. It also lost to Brighton in the cup meeting (at least the schedule has been unloaded for the spring). In contrast, the club from London is seriously preparing for the current season. The management invited Lopetegui to coach position, bought new players for him for more than 100 million. And they didn’t really show anything special, both under the leadership of Julen and Potter, who took his place in the winter. Things started to work out only at the very end of the winter, when the club successively beat Arsenal and Leicester.
The representative of capital manages to score only 1.19 goals (it is reasonable to mention that Antonio was seriously injured in an accident). At the same time, the team concedes a lot – 1.74. Even the statistics of the pragmatic specialist, Howe, are impressive against this background – 1.7/1.41.
