West Ham vs Newcastle Bet Builder Tips: Joelinton can help land 20/1 punt

West Ham continue their bid for a top-half finish when they welcome European hopefuls Newcastle to the London Stadium on Monday evening.

With the Magpies having next Sunday's EFL Cup final against Liverpool to look forward to, there is every chance their levels could slip for this capital assignment and that is good news for the Hammers. We’ve picked out three bets for our West Ham vs Newcastle Bet Builder tips.

Football Odds

West Ham to win

The biggest game of Newcastle's season arguably comes six days after this trip to London, as they take on Liverpool in the EFL Cup final, so it would be no surprise should the same energy levels as normal not be shown in this contest.

Even if Eddie Howe's side didn't have that final coming up, they arrive in disappointing form following three defeats in their last four matches in all competitions and the most recent of those, an extra-time loss to Brighton in the FA Cup fourth round, was made worse by Anthony Gordon's red card.

The England international will be absent for the next three fixtures and he will be a big miss from Newcastle's attack, putting even more responsibility on the shoulders of Swedish striker Alexander Isak.

Newcastle are also taking on a West Ham side who have won their last two games, beating Arsenal (1-0) and Leicester (2-0), and are still in the mix for a top-10 finish.

Graham Potter's methods are starting to make their mark and the Irons look to have a great chance to do the double over the Magpies, having won 2-0 in November's reverse fixture at St James' Park.

West Ham vs Newcastle Odds

Both teams to score - No

As previously mentioned, West Ham's last two games have both ended in wins to nil and that improved defensive effort can continue against Newcastle.

The Magpies, who are missing Gordon and who are becoming overly reliant on star striker Isak, have failed to score in their last two away assignments at Manchester City and Liverpool and may struggle to snap that streak on Monday.

Joelinton to be booked

Rounding off this Bet Builder is for Newcastle midfielder Joelinton to be booked, something that has happened no less than 11 times in all competitions this season.

The Brazil international is a real enforcer as part of the Magpies' three-man midfield and he often oversteps the mark, resulting in the referee brandishing a card.

Joelinton has picked up yellows in his last two outings and in three of his last four appearances, while his last seven cautions have come in his last 12 games.

With Newcastle expected to be under pressure, Joelinton could be forced to make extra tackles and this could result in his 12th booking of the campaign.
