Markets Considered
West Ham go in to this match as favourites, currently priced at 2.32, Newcastle at 3.4, with the draw at 3.6.
This is the first game for both teams at the start of the new Premier League season. It is tempting to back West Ham in the match odds market, however they don't have a good record against Newcastle and have not beaten them in the last 5 attempts.
Newcastle however are without their 2 first-choice goal-keepers, and West Ham have been showing goal-scoring form. Also, in 3 of their last 4 meetings there has been over 2.5 goals scored.
Therefore, the recommendation is to back over 2.5 goals at a fair price of around 1.94 (Betfair Exchange).
Over 2.5 Goals
Backing 'Over' offers fair value for this match at around 1.94.
Entry Point:
It is advised to take a back position on 'over 2.5 goals' at 1.92+ before (or shortly after) the start, for 3 points.
