West Ham vs Newcastle Prediction and Betting Tips for Matchday 10 of the Premier League, scheduled for Sunday, November 2, 2025, at 14:00 GMT. The clash takes place at the London Stadium and will be broadcast live on Sky Sports and NOW TV. West Ham sit 19th after a torrid start, while Newcastle chase another win to climb into the top half. In this article, you’ll find expert insight and stats-backed analysis from our Premier League Predictions section at XpertStats.

• West Ham have conceded a league-high 20 goals in just nine Premier League matches.
• Newcastle are unbeaten in their last six visits to the London Stadium (W4 D2).
• The Magpies have scored seven of their last 13 league goals in the final 15 minutes.
• Eddie Howe has seven Premier League wins over West Ham, only Aston Villa have suffered more under him.

West Ham’s struggles continue under Nuno Espírito Santo, who’s still searching for his first victory since taking charge. The Hammers have lost three on the spin, leaking goals at an alarming rate: 20 in nine matches, to be exact. They’ve only managed one clean sheet all season, and their defence looks as shaky as ever. The London Stadium, once a fortress, now feels more like an open gate. Can Nuno steady the ship before the tide pulls them deeper into trouble? It’s hard to say, especially given their alarming record of just one home win in eight against Newcastle.

Statistically, it’s grim reading for the hosts. West Ham’s average of 0.5 goals scored per game and three conceded highlights the imbalance in their setup. Their matches see plenty of action: averaging 3.5 goals per fixture, but most of it comes at their expense. Even their corner stats (5.75 won, 9 conceded per match) show how often they’re on the back foot. Still, with players like Jarrod Bowen and Lucas Paquetá capable of magic, there’s always a sliver of hope. Yet, hope alone won’t fix a defence this leaky.

Newcastle, meanwhile, have momentum and discipline on their side. Eddie Howe’s men might not score in bunches, just 0.25 goals per game on average recently, but they’re brutally efficient at the back, conceding only 0.5 per match. Their recent run of five wins from six in all competitions speaks volumes about their resurgence. The Magpies have also been strong late in games, netting seven of their last 13 goals after the 75th minute. Bruno Guimarães has become the heartbeat of this side, delivering crucial goals and drive when it matters most. That’s the kind of leadership that wins tight away fixtures.

West Ham’s defensive issues combined with Newcastle’s resilience suggest a familiar outcome. The Magpies have gone unbeaten in their last six visits to this stadium, and with their confidence high, it’s hard to back against them here. A low-scoring encounter could be on the cards, given Newcastle’s pragmatic style and West Ham’s inconsistency in attack. Still, football’s a funny game and if Nuno’s side finally clicks, this could turn into a much-needed statement. Until then, the safer money lies with the visitors, who look sharper and more composed on all fronts in these Premier League Predictions.
