Fulham’s Tough Challenge Ahead
Fulham will host Newcastle United in a Premier League clash at Craven Cottage, looking to secure their first win against the Magpies in nine attempts. Marco Silva’s side will have to put up a strong fight against a Newcastle team in excellent form and sitting second in the table. Fulham’s recent performances have been a mixed bag, with a win, two draws, and a loss in their last five matches.
The Cottagers were denied a victory in their latest fixture, drawing 1-1 with West Ham due to a stoppage-time equalizer by Danny Ings. This result leaves them in 12th place, a slight improvement from last season’s 13th-place finish. Fulham’s defense, which has conceded four goals in four games, will be tested against a potent Newcastle attack.
Newcastle’s Strong Start to the Season
Newcastle United are enjoying a fantastic start to the season. Eddie Howe’s side has won three and drawn two of their opening five matches, earning them 10 points and a second-place position.
The Magpies are eager to secure a return to European competition after missing out last season, and they’ve been playing like a team determined to reclaim their place among the continent’s elite.
Newcastle’s last match saw them come from behind to beat Wolves 2-1, showing resilience and attacking prowess. The attacking trio of Alexander Isak, Anthony Gordon, and Harvey Barnes has been in good form, with Isak scoring 21 goals last season—only behind Erling Haaland and Cole Palmer. This firepower will be crucial against a Fulham defense yet to keep a clean sheet this season.
Head-to-Head: Newcastle’s Dominance
The recent history between these two sides has been one-sided, with Newcastle winning all of their last six encounters and going unbeaten in their last nine.
Fulham have struggled to breach the Magpies’ defense, failing to score in the last four meetings. The last time Fulham tasted victory over Newcastle was back in 2017, during their Championship days, with a 3-1 win at St. James’ Park.
In their most recent encounter at Craven Cottage, Newcastle emerged victorious with a 1-0 win, courtesy of a late Bruno Guimarães goal. This game will be another test of Fulham’s ability to break their winless streak against their visitors.
Match Predictions and Odds
Given the current form and head-to-head statistics, Newcastle are favored to win this match. They have a 40% chance of victory according to the odds, while Fulham have a 33% chance of upsetting their visitors. The odds for a draw stand at 27%, but it seems unlikely given Newcastle’s recent dominance.
