Form Guides
Newcastle Form Guide
It’s been a difficult season for The Magpies , after last year finishing in fifth position as well as winning the EFL Cup . With two league games remaining, the club find themselves in 13th position, outside the conversation for the final European places and their best cup run was being eliminated at the semi-final stage in the EFL Cup, which has seen pressure starting to grow on Eddie Howe .
Following a four-game losing streak from March 22nd to April 25th, when they were defeated by Sunderland 1-2, Crystal Palace 2-1, 1-2 by Bournemouth and 1-0 by Arsenal . They have seemingly stabilised in the last couple of weeks with a 3-1 win over Brighton and were unfortunate not to pick up a win last weekend when they drew 1-1 with Nottingham Forest .
Depending on results elsewhere, Newcastle have an outside chance of still finishing in the top half of the table but will likely need six points from six in their final two games.

West Ham United Form Guide
West Ham United may have fallen to a narrow defeat to Arsenal last weekend, but they have every opportunity of staying in the Premier League if they can pull out some positive results in their final two league fixtures. In 2026, the Hammers are tenth in the form table for their performances, earning six victories, drawing four times and being defeated seven times.
Ahead of Sunday’s game, Nuno Espírito Santo has averaged 1.31 points per game across his thirteen fixtures managed against Newcastle. Last November, West Ham United ran out 3-1 winners at the London Stadium after coming from behind following goals from Lucas Paquetá , a Sven Botman own goal and a 97th-minute clincher from Tomáš Souček.
West Ham United, with a win, can leapfrog Tottenham in the table and out of the relegation zone, with their London rivals now set to play until Tuesday Night against Chelsea .

Key Players To Watch
Key Players To Watch
William Osula- Newcastle
Capped at U19 and U21 levels for Denmark , William Osula has quietly emerged as an important player for Newcastle after being a bit-part player earlier in the season, as well as missing games through an ankle injury. He’s now started their last five league games scoring three goals. His physicality and raw pace, especially on the transition, suggest to me that there is a lot more to come from him in a striped shirt.
Anytime Goalscorer William Osula @ 7/5
Jarrod Bowen - West Ham United
The Hammers Captain has been nothing short of exceptional in the 25/26 season, scoring ten times and assisting eleven across his forty games in all competitions. Ahead of this game, he has scored once and assisted five times in his twelve games against Newcastle and has only come out on the losing side four times.
Anytime Goalscorer Jarrod Bowen @ 15/8
Newcastle v West Ham United Prediction & Best Bet
Prediction: Newcastle 0-1 West Ham United
Newcastle may have stabilised in the last couple of weeks, but it’s still been an inconsistent season for Eddie Howe’s side.
West Ham United could take a huge step toward safety with a win this weekend, and given their form in 2026, they stand every chance of doing so.
This’ll be tight, extremely tight, and I’m not expecting too many goals, but the away side may just edge it because they’re playing for more.
