At London Stadium on 2 November 2025, West Ham United host Newcastle United in a Premier League clash between two clubs trending in opposite directions. The Hammers are in crisis and leaking goals at home, while Newcastle have rediscovered rhythm and consistency under Eddie Howe.
Scoreline Pick: 0–2 Newcastle
The selection is Newcastle to win 2–0. West Ham’s fragile defense and Newcastle’s solid recent form make a clean, clinical away victory the most probable outcome.
West Ham: Deep in Trouble
It’s been a nightmare start for the Hammers, with seven defeats in nine matches and zero points from four home fixtures. Even the managerial switch from Graham Potter to Nuno Espírito Santo hasn’t changed the trend - defensive disorganization and a lack of belief are still evident. West Ham have conceded at least two goals in every home game and often struggle to respond once behind.
Newcastle: Stability Returning
Newcastle enter the weekend with five wins in their last six matches across competitions, gradually rebuilding confidence after a slow start. Their away record in the Premier League remains puzzling - three goalless draws and one defeat - but that trend seems due to shift given their improvement in finishing and pressing structure. Their front line, led by Isak and Gordon, has begun to click again, while the defense has conceded just one goal in their last four matches.
