Sunday's football game St James’ Park pits together two sides with very different pressures as Newcastle take on West Ham in the final stretch of the Premier League season. Despite West Ham's need for points, we predict a 2-0 home win as the Saints are a real force to be reckoned with at home. The Magpies sit firmly in mid-table after a 1-1 draw with Nottingham Forest and have little left to play for, but Eddie Howe’s side remain capable of producing goals, averaging 1.40 scored per game at home across their recent run. However, defensive issues persist, with the Magpies conceding 1.80 goals per home match in their last 10. Harvey Barnes is pushing for a starting role after scoring off the bench against Forest.
West Ham, meanwhile, are sitting in the relegation zone after a painful 1-0 defeat to Arsenal where a late equaliser was disallowed. Nuno Espirito Santo's troops have struggled badly in attack away from home, scoring just 0.25 goals per game on the road during their recent stretch. Despite that, they have been competitive defensively, keeping clean sheets in 50% of their away matches. No fresh injuries for the Hammers, although Adama Traore remains unavailable. Historically, Newcastle have had the edge in this fixture with 15 wins from the last 32 meetings.
Given Newcastle's home advantage and better attacking output, Home Win should definitely be considered, alongside Under 2.5 goals and Newcastle to Win to Nil.
This Premier League match will be played on Sunday 17 May 2026 at 17:30.
