Newcastle United vs West Ham United Stats: Get the lowdown on MNF clash

Julen Lopetegui managed to make it through the international break, but reports are mounting that the Spaniard is on the hot seat when they return to action at St James’ Park (20:00, Sky Sports Main Event).

To help you find the best angles across a wide range of markets for the Monday Night Football clash, I’ve put together a comprehensive Newcastle United vs Manchester United stats pack which you can find below.

Form Guide

Newcastle have had an up-and-down season so far, as they’ve struggled to turn their good displays into victories. They got points on the board early on without playing well, then they struggled to convert chances and strong performances into results after that.

Eddie Howe’s side have stepped things up of late, as they’ve won each of their last three games.

The international break came at a bad time for the Magpies just as they built up some momentum, while the wait for a Monday night game can’t have made things easier.

The hosts are in a much stronger spot than West Ham, who sit 14th having won just three of their first 11 games.

The Hammers drew 0-0 at Everton before the international break, while they’re winless in their last five away games in all competitions.

Head-to-head Record

The two meetings between these sides last season were certainly entertaining, with 11 goals shared between the pair.

The Magpies won a back-and-forth game 4-3 in March, having drawn 2-2 in London earlier in the campaign.

The Hammers are winless in their last five meetings with Newcastle, suffering two defeats across the last three contests.

The Magpies have scored 11 times across their last three head-to-head matches, which should be uplifting for their misfiring forward line.

Goals

The previous seven clashes between these two have finished with both teams scoring, but that could be about to change.

Newcastle have won to nil in three of their last four at home, while they’ve conceded just three times in seven home matches to date.

That good defensive record has compensated for their issues up top, as Newcastle have scored just 13 goals in 11 league games.

Overall, Howe’s side have seen an average of 2.18 goals per game this season.

While goals are likely to be at a premium, Alexander Isak is one to watch. The Swede has scored in each of his last four Newcastle appearances.

He also has five goals across the last three meetings between these two, including a brace in both games last term.

Corners

Corners could be a good way to go on Monday night, with Newcastle’s home games seeing an average of 13.6 per game. Visitors West Ham have conceded 6.45 corners per league outing, with their away matches averaging a total of 11.4 corners per game.

Cards

These two sides are on the better end of the spectrum when it comes to discipline, with the pair 13th and 14th, respectively, in terms of total cards received.

In West Ham’s case, that seems generous, as they’ve averaged the third-highest number of fouls per game so far.

Shots on Target

Newcastle’s inconsistent attacking form in the first third of the season is reflected in their shot data, as they have taken the fifth-fewest shots on target through the first 11 rounds.

They’ve taken just two shots fewer than West Ham’s 44. There’s encouragement for both going forward here, as the two sides have both conceded more shots on target than they’ve mustered.

That could allow openings for more chances, but with the pair each underperforming their Expected Goals tally that still may not translate into goals.
