Recent form
West Ham
West Ham's recent form presents an interesting mixed bag, with the Hammers showing signs of improvement after a difficult spell. The team have managed to string together two consecutive Premier League victories, including an impressive away win against Arsenal, which has helped them climb to 15th in the table. Prior to this upturn, West Ham endured a three-match winless run, including back-to-back losses against Brentford and Chelsea. Defensively, the Hammers have tightened up, keeping two clean sheets in their last two outings, which is particularly noteworthy given their goals conceded per game average of 1. However, goal-scoring remains a concern, with West Ham netting just 5 times in their last 6 matches, resulting in a low 0.83 goals scored per game. The majority of their recent fixtures have been low-scoring affairs, with 83% of games featuring under 2.5 goals, suggesting a trend towards tighter, more defensive encounters.
Newcastle United
Newcastle United's recent form has been a mixed bag, with the Magpies alternating between wins and losses in their last six matches across all competitions. Despite sitting in a respectable 6th position in the Premier League, their goal difference over this period is concerning, having conceded 13 goals whilst scoring 10. The standout fixture was undoubtedly their thrilling 4-3 victory over Nottingham Forest, showcasing their attacking prowess. However, Newcastle's defence has been leaky, failing to keep a clean sheet in their last five outings. Their matches have been high-scoring affairs, with 67% of games featuring over 2.5 goals and an impressive average of 3.83 total goals per match. The Toon Army have struggled against top opposition, suffering heavy defeats to Manchester City (4-0) and Liverpool (2-0), but have shown resilience in cup competitions, progressing in both the FA Cup and League Cup during this period.

Recent home/away form
West Ham
West Ham's recent home form has been inconsistent, with two wins, one draw, and three losses in their last six matches at the London Stadium. The Hammers have struggled defensively, conceding 11 goals in these fixtures, with a particularly heavy 5-0 defeat to Liverpool standing out as a notably high-scoring game. Their attacking output has been modest, scoring just six goals across these matches, with their 3-2 victory over Fulham being their most prolific performance. West Ham have kept only one clean sheet during this period, highlighting their defensive frailties. The team's inability to string together consecutive positive results at home is evident, with their last two matches resulting in a loss to Brentford followed by a win against Leicester, breaking a concerning run of two consecutive home defeats.
Newcastle United
Newcastle United's recent away form presents an interesting mix of results, with a notable run of four consecutive victories followed by two heavy defeats. The Magpies enjoyed an impressive streak, securing wins against top-tier opponents such as Tottenham Hotspur, Arsenal, and Southampton, as well as a spirited FA Cup victory over Birmingham City. However, their form took a sharp downturn with back-to-back losses against Manchester City and Liverpool, conceding six goals without reply. The 4-0 defeat to Manchester City stands out as a particularly high-scoring affair. Despite the recent setbacks, Newcastle's away record remains respectable, with 10 goals scored across these six matches, averaging 1.67 goals per game. Their defensive record mirrors this exactly, also conceding 10 goals at an average of 1.67 per game. Interestingly, 67% of these away fixtures saw over 2.5 goals, suggesting Newcastle's travels often produce entertaining, high-scoring encounters.
