In this week 22 match, on Saturday Feb 4th, Newcastle United hosts West Ham United in a Premier League match. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 8 degrees, so hopefuly the match makes up for the weather. 3rd placed Newcastle United is fresh off their 0-0 scoreless draw against Crystal Palace. Neither Crystal Palace nor Newcastle United could manage to put one past the goalie. They had 6 and 16 shots on net respectively, but no one could score, and the match ended in a 0 – 0 draw,. Newcastle United looks to continue their winning ways, having won 7 of their last 10, while in their last match, West Ham United recorded a 2-0 shutout win against Derby County. Jarrod Bowen scored the first goal for West Ham United in the 10th minute, then Michail Antonio added another in the 50th minute In the end, Derby County couldn’t muster any offence and West Ham United ran away with the shutout win. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 10 points in their last 10 matches.
This will be the first match for these two teams against eachother this season. Last season West Ham United won the head to head battle with 1 win and 1 draw.
Jarrod Bowen has been the most effective weapon for West Ham United lately. The English attacker has netted three goals in his last five matches. Bruno Guimarães and Alexander Isak are the top scorers for Newcastle United in the last 5 matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats
Newcastle United will be without Emil Krafth, Jonjo Shelvey, Matt Targett, Paul Dummett and Bruno Guimarães, while Maxwel Cornet and Gianluca Scamacca are unavailable to play for David Moyes’s team.
