Newcastle v Fulham

Newcastle vs Fulham Preview

Following a comprehensive and heavy 4-1 loss at home to Bournemouth the week before, Newcastle United set the record straight by bouncing back immediately with a 3-1 win down on the south coast against Southampton and The Magpies will be in confident mood that they can grab another three points here on Saturday afternoon against Fulham.

Fulham slipped to a second defeat in three games in the Premier League last weekend when The Cottagers were dealt a disappointing 1-0 defeat at home by Manchester United and Marco Silva's side now face a tough looking trip up to the north-east on Saturday afternoon to take on high-flying Newcastle United.

Newcastle United will be brimming with confidence ahead of this upcoming home fixture at St James' Park especially as Eddie Howe's side have collected seven wins within their last eight matches overall in the English top flight and this recent flurry of success has helped lift The Magpies up into fifth place and level on points with fourth placed Manchester City.

Three of these seven wins have been achieved on home soil with victories recorded over the likes of Leicester City, Aston Villa and Wolves respectively, while results overall at home have generally been pretty consistent as The Magpies have suffered just three defeats in their last 19 home games in the top flight.

Fulham therefore face a tough assignment on Saturday afternoon especially as The Cottagers have slipped to two losses in their last three games; defeats at the hands of struggling outfits such as West Ham and Manchester United will have disappointed Marco Silva and his players.

The London club had previously put together a solid and stubborn looking eight-match unbeaten sequence in the Premier League as Marco Silva's side had picked up two wins and collected numerous useful points by way of being involved in no fewer than six stalemates as well.

However, Fulham have found it difficult to string any sort of winning momentum together so far in this season's Premier League campaign as The Cottagers have posted back-to-back wins on just two occasions to date this term.

Results away from home have seen Fulham slip to just three defeats within their 11 outings on the road so far in this campaign but whilst the visitors have managed to at least hold their own on their travels, they have registered just four wins away from home in the process.

Newcastle United v Fulham Verdict

Despite losing to Fulham in their previous meeting by way of a 3-1 loss at Craven Cottage back in September, Newcastle United have won six out of the previous seven encounters overall and The Magpies look in form right now under Eddie Howe.

Therefore, our main bet will be Newcastle Utd win @ 1.66
