That point at least snapped a two-match losing streak that the Irons were on. On home soil this season in the top flight, West Ham have a W2 D1 L2 record.

Each of the three Premier League wins that West Ham have recorded have been by a margin of at least two goals.

Newcastle News and Form – Can the Magpies win in London?
It was a 1-1 draw that Newcastle collected against Wolves in the top flight last weekend. That wasn’t a bad point for them. But it leaves them still down just above the drop zone. They won’t be happy with that. Out on the road, Newcastle have taken one point only from their five games played, so there is basically no form there at all.
They have lost their last three away from St James’ Park, netting only one goal in that three-match stretch. Across the ten league games played this season, home and away combined, Newcastle have scored just six times. Defensively they have had their struggles away from home as well.
They have been alright in that department on home soil, but Newcastle have conceded at an average of 2.4 goals per away game. They have also been losing at half time in three of their five away games. Of the goals which they have conceded on their travels, Newcastle have conceded two-thirds of them in the second half of matches. Newcastle are currently the second-lowest scorers in the league.

West Ham vs Newcastle Predictions
West Ham to win: West Ham haven’t been at the races in the last few weeks, but are better than the level at which they have been playing. Something has to give for them and it’s not as if their defence is going to come under a lot of pressure from the visitors. Home win.
