Newcastle vs Fulham betting tips and summary

Newcastle to win – Fulham have lost their last three games

Anthony Gordon to score or assist – looking to kick on from his midweek goal against Benfica

Jacob Murphy to score or assist – one assist in the EPL and two in the Champions League, is likely to get back into the starting XI

St James’ Park will see Newcastle United host Fulham, as the English Premier League continues on Saturday afternoon.

Late goals have been the theme of what has been an underwhelming start to the Magpies’ season, having lost four matches by a one-goal margin – three of which were scored in the last 10 minutes of the match.

Stoppage-time losses to Liverpool and Arsenal bookended a 2-1 loss to Barcelona, on matchday one of the Champions League, whilst a 2-1 loss away to Brighton recorded their third EPL defeat of the season.

Two goals from Danny Welbeck cancelled out Nick Woltemade’s equaliser, as the Magpies continued their struggle in finding consistency.

Manager Eddie Howe’s side have since battered Benfica in the Champions League and will now welcome a Fulham side who have lost all of their last three English Premier League matches.

A 1-0 loss at home to Arsenal was the latest of three consecutive defeats that has seen manager Marco Silva’s side sink to 14th in the EPL table – one place and one point below Newcastle.

The Cottagers will hope to take advantage of a potentially-jaded Newcastle side, following their European endeavours in midweek.

What are the best bets for Newcastle vs Fulham?

Newcastle to win

The Magpies are looking to win their third EPL match of the season, with the other two coming at home and in games where they didn’t concede.

Fulham have lost their last three matches, which will provide all the more confidence that Newcastle need to get the job done.

Anthony Gordon to score or assist

The England winger is the Champions League’s joint-highest goal contributor, with four goals and one assist.

He is yet to open his account in the English Premier League this season, but will be confident after notching a goal and an assist against Benfica.

Jacob Murphy to score or assist

Similar comments apply to Murphy, who tallied 20 goal contributions in last season’s English Premier League.

He has notched two assists so far in the Champions League and is likely to have cemented his place in the starting 11 – at the expense of Anthony Elanga – after an assist versus Benfica.
