Premier League Matchday 28 Preview & Best Bets: West Ham vs. Newcastle
(Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)
West Ham vs. Newcastle (+125), DRAW (+250) | O/U 2.5 (-145/+115)
The matchday wraps up in the capital city on Monday afternoon, as Newcastle makes the trip to take on West Ham. The hosting Irons have slid to 15th in the table at 9-6-12 (33 points), while the Magpies find themselves in sixth place entering the weekend (13-5-9, 44 points). Kickoff is scheduled for 3:00 p.m. ET from London Stadium in London.
It comes with a bit of a price tag, but I'm going to play the Over 2.5 goals in the matchday 28 finale. For Newcastle, they're used to high-scoring matches, as nine of their last 11 outings across all competitions have seen at least three combined goals. Eddie Howe's men have been one of the better offensive teams in the league this campaign, ranking seventh in scoring (46 goals) and fifth in xG (44.9).
On the other hand, West Ham has seen 45 combined goals (18 GF, 27 GA) across 14 home matches this campaign. That's an average of 3.2 goals per match. The Irons have scored at least one goal in four of their last five contests. This game has "2-1" written all over it. I'm playing the Over in London on Monday.
Bet: Over 2.5 Goals (-145)
