West Ham United vs Newcastle United Prediction and Betting Tips | November 2nd 2025

West Ham United will face Newcastle United at the London Stadium on Sunday in the 10th round of the 2025-26 English Premier League campaign. The home side have endured a woeful season and find themselves 19th in the table, just two points above last-placed Wolverhampton Wanderers as they continue to search for their first win under new boss Nuno Espirito Santo.

They suffered a 2-1 defeat to newly-promoted Leeds United last time out, going two goals down just 15 minutes into the contest as their vulnerability from corner kicks was once again exploited, before Matheus Fernandes came off the bench to pull one back for the Hammers.

Newcastle United, meanwhile, are in fine form at the moment, beating Fulham 2-1 in their last league outing via goals from Jacob Murphy and Bruno Guimarães. They then followed that up with a 2-0 home victory over Tottenham Hotspur on Wednesday to advance to the quarterfinals of the Carabao Cup.

The visitors sit 12th in the Premier League standings with 12 points and will climb into the top half of the pile with maximum points on the road this weekend.
